IMO the ship has sailed for the M3 to be a lightweight car. It’s just too big and luxurious. BMW did a good job with the F8X in this regard but it didn’t come for free. It robbed the car of mechanical feel and cheapened the feel of materials. The car feel more plastic and thin than it’s predecessors and I’m not sure it’s worth it to be honest. If the car can be made agile and athletic with engineering tricks and retain a more substantial mechanical feel I’m cool with that this time around.
