I have no giant desire to have F90 M5 type power available to me as I find it personally unusable and not enjoyable. So the base one with the magic 400/400 (most likely to the wheels) is plenty fast. I have literally 0 problem with the way my E92 M3 drives with its apparently gutless engine. If I wanted light to light numbers, I'd just consider a Tesla 3 Performance and call it a day, but clearly I'm not.

Not only am I grateful for the 3 pedals, but I'm also grateful that BMW didn't actually "handicap" the car by not being able to order fun options like the carbon buckets on a base car.
It's going to have ~450whp as the CS has 435whp. That is a crapton. Plenty of power.

I agree it's wonderful that you can get the manual with all the goodies you'd like vs having a stripped down option set.
