I guess I'm not the audience for the new M3/M4... 140kg heavier than last gen, bigger, bulkier, more expensive, lower reviving, no DCT option, uglier... and the M Performance parts? What were they thinking?
So glad I got my hands on an M2 Comp. Maybe the next M2 will impress but this is just a bloated and overpriced boat of a car IMO and doesn't bode well for the future.
Having said that, most of the car's problems are due to design, regulations and technology overload. I feel like the mechanicals and everything related to the driving dynamics appear to have had a lot of focus. I feel sorry for the engineers who worked on this to have their work somewhat overshadowed by everything else that appears to have gone wrong this generation.
On the plus side:
Bucket seat options
Handsome interior
Ability to turn off Rev matching on manual (they listened)
Looking forward to hearing how it drives but so far I am thoroughly underwhelmed.
