1. The lack of manual in the Comp spec. 2. The size and weight. My M3 had the ZCP and I personally loved that package. To me, it didn't make a lot of sense buying one without it just to spend money modding it to the ZCP levels in the first place. So the G80 spec I would have gone with would have been a 6 speed Comp car. Unfortunately, that's not an option for some reason or another. I'm guessing by year two or three, they will offer the Comp with the 6 speed. Sort of what they did with previous generations M5 and what Porsche did with the GT3 cars.

Don't get me wrong, I had initially decided to get a G80 LCI; now I'm not sure.

On the F80 it was the total package, ECU tuning for more top end and power overall, exhaust tuning, suspension tuning, the seats were more aggressive, and the wheels. In that regard you're completely right, the F80 had a more drastic difference, but the torque difference in the G series is HUGE.

Since the suspension and seats are not unique to the comp this time, I feel no reason to go for it; especially since I want a manual. Power is fine for me. Would I like the extra hp and torque? Yea, but not worth it to give up the manual just yet... ask me again in a few years lol |

The x-drive adds roughly 200-210lb on the current 3-series and adds a transfer case at the rear of the transmission (centre of the car) and of course the front diff and axles (so not good for weight distribution). |

I will also say I tune every car so the torque and HP for me is just what I’m stuck with until the break in service at 1,200 miles (at which point I tune). |

Where did you get the 120lbs number from? Hopefully x-drive is just 120lbs and the remaining 90lbs is different base equipment that goes with the x-drive model. |

The more we head toward the overt styling, the less that’s true IMO. But I guess I’m ok with that - providing they get the styling right. I think they almost nailed the front end, except where the grille area meets the bonnet and badge. They messed that up in my opinion. On the upshot I like the grille, and especially the side view on the M4. Disappointing because the M4 is not a practical option for me. I would love to see a render of the M3/4 without that indentation in the bonnet.... My eyes are drawn to it and when I see people commenting on colours that look good in the new M3/4, I think they’re all colours like black/white which minimise the contrast on that design element. Ha. I’m also going back more than 2 generations, but yeah in my view it’s trending aggressive relative to the standard series over time. All I’m saying is the more aggressive you go, the more you’re obligated to nail the design. |
