2) Weight for G80 in AWD form should be very close to the P3.
3) Drag coefficient - 0.22 for the 3. Do you have the same for F80?
4) It will be interesting to see if G80 gets sub 3 s 0-60. P3 is nearly there with people getting it ~3.1s.
F80 M3 vs Model 3P:
- Head Room F/R (40.3" / 37.7" vs 39.6" ~ 40.3" / 37.7")
- Leg Room F/R (42.0" / 35.1" vs 42.7" / 35.2")
- Shoulder Room F/R (55.1" / 55.1" vs 56.3" / 54.0")
- Trunk Capacity (15.8 cu ft vs 15 cu ft)
- Drag Coefficient (Cd) (0.34 vs 0.23)

G80 M3 vs Model 3P: (Speculation)
- Head Room F/R (38.7" / 37.6" vs 39.6" ~ 40.3" / 37.7")
- Leg Room F/R (42.0" / 35.2" vs 42.7" / 35.2")
- Shoulder Room F/R (56.0" / 54.6" vs 56.3" / 54.0")
- Trunk Capacity (17 cu ft vs 15 cu ft)
- Drag Coefficient (Cd) (0.23 ~ 0.26 vs 0.22)

G20 3-Series had 0.23 ~ 0.26 (Cd), G30 5-Series had 0.22 (Cd) which is impressive compared to Model 3P 0.23 (Cd). F80 M3 had higher 0.34 (Cd) compared to F30 0.29 (Cd), would not expect G80 M3 to be much lower than G20 unless BMW improves aerodynamics on G80 M3.

F90 M5 AWD had slightly lower weight than F10 M5 RWD. G20 is lighter than F30, would expect G80 M3 weight to be similar to F80 M3 if not lower.
