Yes it will make g80 feel dated -not a “claim”, because you know, that’s always what happens, and also; G80 came out in 2021, the new one will come in 2027.

Some of yall are wishing for too much from this thing
If it comes with the 48v hybrid system it’ll gain around 120ish lbs
Stock power at crank will probably be around 575 but torque below 3000rpm will pick up a lot

My guess is stock 1/4 time being mid 10s

Well I've found people on Bimmerpost have noticed that new things are newer than old things.

Good and all as Metallica are, I would much prefer Rammstein for the M cars

What's everyone think the pure electric version will cost? I would have to assume they'll try to keep it just under a hundred grand base but options will quickly put it well over that.

If it's anything like people are thinking and wanting quite sure BMW will make us pay hefty price for it.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out the next ICE M3 -

Interior will look like the new X3 interior... flat screens, less buttons, overall cleaner but also cheaper with hints of cost savings. All new gen BMWs including 5 and M5 follow this trend. Probably a variant of Idrive 9...

S58 motor tied to a mild hybrid... which really means nothing other than it will be a little more responsive. I would expect 600 hp (or very high 500s) in the top tiers now given the M5 has now crossed into the 700 hp range.

Weight will probably be another 250-300 lbs, I expect the car to cross easily over 4k lbs but even 4200-4300 will be very believable given trends. We won't know this for sure until we see the new 3 revealed and get a gauge of weights there.
