If you don t use the 4wd system you are carrying the weight always with you.

New M3 is just an old M5. Nice fast daily driver. 1600 kg and awd is no fun anymore. That is transportation!

We need to go back to smaller nimbler cars with less horsepower and lower weight.

I drive an 950kg and 330hp e30 m3 DTM on track. This car is so amazing.
that 950kg feel is a dream to steer and brake into corners.

I am done buying bigger and heavier ///M Cars. Now AWD also. It s getting worse with every new series. If i want an awd then it s either a x3M or a 4wd car with awd system with mechanical diffs like an mitsubishi evolution rally car in a very small car.

There is no learning curve on weight and size, that is a shame IMHO.

Driving Dynamics is key, lower the weight, you don`t need big HP numbers, it wil make driving more alive and kicking.

The smaller / lighter / agiler the car, the better.

Used to own many M3`s, I know better now! The smallest ///M is the nicest one, not necessarily the fastest, but most fun anyway.
