I'd be completely satisfied with that. I don't expect a 2-300 lbs weight loss, but I would love to see aluminum hood, CF roof and trunk. Add along all the M3/4 components in the driveline, and I would absolutely let the fact that it has an N55 rather than detuned S55 or a high performance 4 pot slide.

Oh as long as they can keep it under $55k base of course.
