285 / 295 setup maybe an option on competition model?

The remaining questions:
- Does G8x generation come with CF drive shaft?
- Will G8x manual hit 3.1s 0-60, while 8-speed hit sub 2.9s given the current F90 M5 number already hit 3.1 on official number. M3 historically had faster time as compared to M5.

and last but not least

- Will BMW fix the first bug on the windshield from SHMEE's video @ 5:24?
3.1 second 0-60 on the G80 M3 Pure (RWD 6MT) is way too optimistic.

For reference BMW published times:

X3M Base 0-60 time is 4.1 with 8sp auto
X3M Comp 0-60 time is 4.0 with 8sp auto
and
2020 M4 coupe 0-60 time is 4.1 with DCT and RWD (has 425hp)

So based on the above, G80 M3 Pure (RWD 6MT) only gains a few tenths on the X3M at most. Maybe 3.8 seconds? No way this is a 3.1 second car.

Remember, I'm talking BMW's published time which is always a couple tenths too conservative, but still not 3.1.
