I'll just leave this article by Motor Trend right here:
"The 2015 BMW M3 and M4 share a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six that is officially rated for 425 hp at 5500 rpm and 406 lb-ft of torque at 1850 rpm. After running the M3 on a dyno owned by K&N Engineering, Motor Trend came up with rear-wheel outputs of 379 hp at 6600 rpm and 378 lb-ft of torque at 4300 rpm."

Unfortunately, this is an awd dyno and it was run in awd mode. That's why both m3's made about 10-15% less power than they have on any other dyno If you watch the vid you can see all 4 wheels spinning. Fail for sure Look at the front rollers spinning at 525 and 605. Dumb, it's supposed to be run only on the rear wheels and in 2wd mode. Last edited by Black Gold; 07-23-2014 at 11:39 PM.. |

I took a good long look at the new M4 and couldn't find that spark I had when I first laid my eyes on my E93. Even after driving it, I felt empty, just missed the 8200 redline. Missed playing around with the revs and getting that ridiculous surge of power when dropping a gear or two on the highway.
There were no butterflies in my stomach. It must be the V8 clouding my judgement, but I can seriously say that an E9x with a supercharger is truly "The Ultimate Driving Machine" |

It's as big as an e39! = not itching to get inside it... Not really pumped to drive the dealer's DCT ... It may take a long while to get the opportunity to drive the 6 speed :-/

Why not right? If you don't like it, then so be it. But you might come away more impressed than you thought you'd be. Might as well find out for yourself

OP, this review is spot on. I have driven this car and i agree with most of what you are saying.
I was seriously considering to upgrade my e92m3 to F80 m4, but i am glad i did not. Wait a minute, actually i did. A few weeks ago we supercharged my m3, installed Ohlins R&T coilovers and i think i will keep this car for a long long time. Its that much better now Last edited by Groundpilot; 08-08-2014 at 03:57 PM.. |
