Need more objective comparison? Before G80 M3 specs are out, one can only speculate, the closest is using F80 M3 as reference.

F80 M3 vs Model 3 P:
- 0-60 (3.9s vs 3.3s)
- Top Speed (167mph vs 155mph)
- Length (184.6" vs 185")
- Width (73.9" vs 73")
- Height (56.1" vs 56.5")
- Wheelbase (110.7" vs 113.2")
- Front Track (62.2" vs 62.2")
- Rear Track (63.1" vs 62.2")
- Weight (3,630 lbs vs 4,072 lbs)
- Roof (CF Roof vs Glass Roof)
- Software Update (less vs more)
- Torsional Rigidity (40,000 Nm/deg vs 19,000 Nm/deg) Note: this is for Model S, likely similar for Model 3
- Insurance Cost (lower vs higher) Note: in general, could vary depended on individual cases
- Range on full tank or full charge (300+ miles vs 310+ miles)
- Refuel or Recharge (minutes vs hours)
- Front Wheel/Tire (20 x 9.0" 265/30 vs 20 x 8.5" 235/35)
- Rear Wheel/Tire (20 x 10.0" 285/30 vs 20 x 8.5" 235/35)

G80 M3 vs Model 3 P: (Speculation on future improvement)
- 0-60 (sub 3.0s vs sub 3.0s)
- Top Speed (177+mph vs 164+mph) Note: improve by 6% on both
- Length (188.4" vs 185")
- Width (74.5" vs 73")
- Height (56.6" vs 56.5")
- Wheelbase (112.3" vs 113.2")
- Front Track (64.3" vs 62.2")
- Rear Track (64.12" vs 62.2")
- Weight (3,630 lbs vs 4,072 lbs)
- Range on full tank or full charge (330+ miles vs 330+ miles)
- Torsional Rigidity (50,000 Nm/deg vs 23,750 Nm/deg) Note: improve by 25% on both, for cross reference, 50,000 Nm/deg is in the range of Buggati Chiron)
- Front Wheel/Tire (20 x 9.5" 275/30 vs 20 x 8.5" 245/30) Note: Model 3 P may need wider fender
- Rear Wheel/Tire (20 x 10.0" 285/30 vs 20 x 9.5" 265/30) Note: Model 3 P may need wider fender

G80 dimension is derived from G20 based on F30/F80 scale. Refer to this post: https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&postcount=564

Would be interesting to know Model 3 P's brake system, disc dimension, number of pistons in calipers, etc. With either brake system, I'd go for extra virgin on the brake fluid!
