So M3 is the New M5?
If you compare the sizes of current vehicles vs those fond memories of previous versions they have truly moved everything up a category now.

E30 M3 >>> F87 M2
E39 M5 >>> G80 M3
7 Series >>> F90 M5

Even the inflation adjusted pricing aligns as well. What is unfortunate is that weight has gone well beyond the old models due to both regulations and consumers increasing desire for superfluous luxury items as well like soft close doors, etc.

I would have been really interested in an F90 M5 CS if they had gotten aggressive about weight loss and even the G80 sounds like it has added the Covid 200 now. A truly light weight G80 four door (sub 3400 lbs) would be my dream, but I don't think many share my vision of a de-contented family hauler. I think a GT3esque four door could be a category killer, but what do I know?
