Looks are a significant downgrade compared to F80 if true.

Worth noting that the W205 C Class and the B9 A4 are nearly the exact same size as the E39, so safe to bet the G20 will be very close to E39 size and only slightly smaller than the E60. |

Less weight, close to 500hp and rwd sounds promising.
I like the fixed bucket seat speculation too. Throw on super wide tires, good steering feel and the same track ready cooling system and I'd be onboard! |

This story was planted by BMW AG marketing to drive sales of the F80 6MT and M3 CS by upseting the enthusiasts.

All marketing research and trends seem to show complete opposite information. Added overall performance with the option to disable would be bad in your mind? Leave RWD to the smaller lighter weight M2 |

This so called "M3" is not an M3 anymore.
M3 is dead, BMW killed it with the F8x generation. M2 for me from now on. |

Love the renders. Love the stats. Sad about the manual transmission option slowly being marginalized into a lower performance tier.
Make it unattractive for the consumer and then use the lower uptake to justify its elimination. Brilliant |

"Electrically spooled turbochargers"
^ This is the electric nonsense I've been hoping for. Sure the lack of parasitic power loss is very negligible, but it should give M the ability to spool the snails extremely quickly, control the boost better and most importantly design the headers for a lovely exhaust note this time around, instead of the headers design catering to the turbos which I believe is one of the principal reasons for it not being that flattering of an exhaust note compared to other boosted inline 6's. Feedback welcome. Cheers.

please don't look like that....
and low weight is good, jus keep the volume same or smaller, we don't want a 5 series cruiser, we want a car we can actually take it to track and use everyday like what M3 is supposed to do

The F80 is quite a bit wider than the e39 (1801mm) in fact it's wider than the G30 5 series due to the flared arches 1877mm for the M3 vs 1868mm for the G30

If it does all the things you describe, and can do it to and withstand hours and hours of high speed a-bahn driving and DEs, that would be awesome |

LOL.. Kinda like the myths that have been passed around redneck parts about Obama (and getting rid of guns....) Once Obama left office., gun companies that were insisting that Obama would eliminate guns are sitting on 2 years of inventory.. |
