Skipped a generation? Wish list?

mpanella · Thu, Nov-10-2011, 12:18:20 AM

As many here I was extremely disappointed with the outcome of the e90 class M3.

I do plan on if finances permits to make the move to a F80 M3. This tri turbo although unorthodox sounds promising.

What's your wish list for the F80? Colors? Options? Mechanics?

For me:

-6spd MT
-Competition package when available
-Stock BBK Brembo or such it's about time
-A more refined variable valve technology
-A harder less refined ride like the E46
-A spare tire
-electronic dampening controls (active suspension control) -so I can rip it out and put in coil overs-

So you want an E46 with a spare tire? I believe your wish has been granted:

Personally I'd like to see that it'll get 30+ mpg highway. Yeah I know its "because racecar!" and no one should care about that on this forum and flame suit on...but seriously, its about time. Theres no reason a car can't be fast and efficient. A corvette gets 26mpg highway with a freakin 6.2L engine. Diesels win the LeMans prototype class all the time now because of fuel efficiency! As much work as BMW puts into aerodynamics, 30mpg should be a piece of cake.

Agreed with GoTerps

I do believe you mean F30

i think fuel efficiency will be a reality, 30 mpg though? maybe..

I just hope the damn car loses weight, i also hope the steering feels better than the e90 w is too light imo.

I hope the overall looks doesnt look as platic like as the e9x, and I hope the hood bulge is still there, but tasteful.

I hope there is a HUD option

to the BBK option, IMO M3's were never about the showy brakes. No doubt they look sick when added aftermarket, but they always seemed to be function over form and the young hotshot businessman doesn't want noisy brakes while driving around hot girls.

I dont think a young hotshot business man would mind if his brakes are noisy as that noise is the art of slowing you down

-45mpg

-tight suspension
-should come with companion girl
-GT2 drivetrain

Considering the F30 is 88 pounds lighter than the E90..we're off on a good start. So if the M division is all about meeting the weight of the 3 series despite their modifications..in addition to a lighter 3-turbo engine set up.

Odds are...the new M3 will be a lighter faster starship. I can bet good money that the HUD display will also be optional as will front parking sensors.

There won't be a BBK. Comp Pkge will be available last year of production as will a new set of tail lights..

I want a special Alcantara Interior and bits. Maybe some special exterior color.
