B C Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 From Bimmerpost On the scales, this F80 weighed in at 3590lbs (pounds) with a nearly 50/50 weight distribution. The dyno numbers are what really impressed us, though. BMW claims this motor makes 425hp and 406lb-ft tq at the crank; on our Dynojet this M3 recorded 424hp and 425lb-ft tq at the wheels!

dastuz Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Good post. Like seeing it in the hands of tuners already. There have been some mixed reviews over in Europe. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the new M3/4. I'm an M3 guy through and through, but I'm not sold on this one for some reason yet. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

suspenceful Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 ~425whp/wtq in a ~3,500lb car isn't anything to laugh at. I'm pretty sure Terry @ BMS is already toying with one. They're awesome cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 50/50 weight distribution is awesome, interested to see how it will compare to the 3461lb 328i auto sedan. Basically the same weight as the 335i (3594lbs) but the 335i is front end heavy. Dont know when ill be able to drive one myself though That exhaust video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E36M3#215 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I'm a M guy through and through also, I was not happy about them going to a turbocharged engine, but after seeing them perform at Road America a couple weeks ago and seeing these dyno numbers I'm all about this car now, I can't wait to see these cars on some apex wheels and conti slicks at track days YoungCR and patsbimmer1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Such an incredible looking car, but it will take me a LONG time to get over the turbos. Wouldn't it be nice if they could ignore the competition, the power wars, the tree huggers, and have just stuck in a jumped up version of the last M3 V8? 445 bhp, 8500 Redline, etc.. I just cant stop thinking about how you could take a base model 335i, get a tune, exhaust, intake, and probably be very near the M3's power output for significantly less money than the M3. No, it's still not an M car, but with BMW's marketing strategy nowadays you could add M cupholders from the catalog and get that fancy M badge slapped on the back straight from the dealer...

Earl Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 John and I walked around in Concourse BMW the other day and couldn't get over the size of the rotors on the M5 and M6. I don't think I would want to own any newer BMW besides a 1 series, but I sure as hell would want to drive them all=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
