Maybe but then it would need to be more expensive than the M3 because it would have killed that car.

EVERY car manufacturer puts cars in the appropriate box and builds features accordingly. Porsche with the Cayman, 911 and GT cars. MB with the CLA, C, E, CLS, S. Audi with the RS3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Oh, and BMW too.

It's interesting that some people expect every car produced to be the best car the manufacturer has ever made If the car is $20,000 less than an M3, how does the performance not slot right into BMW's line up exactly as it should? Give it an S55, seats, roof and the CF bits needed for it to weigh 200lbs less and it is a more expensive car then the M4.

What you are asking for is better than M3 performance for less money and that makes little sense. What you really want is a halo car that BMW has yet to build and, if they did, will likely be a $150,000 car and few, if any, in this discussion will be buying one.

Forums are SUPER entertaining to read
