call me crazy, but I think the M3 looks far sportier and more balanced than the M4.  Plus, two extra useful doors.  The weight difference between them is minimal, based on the hp to weight ratio.

Sounds like good power numbers out of the 3L V6 - similar to what Ferrari has done with their blown 3L V6s.

V6?  Straight-six means I6....

Based on the power-to-weight ratios, the M3 would weigh in at 1517 kg and the M4 would weigh in at 1496kg.  Definitely not a huge weight difference.

Stunning! I'll take a Yaz Marina Blue M3 with a manual transmission, please.

The I-6 yesssssssssssss. The proper engine for a BMW straight 6 or a V12... ;D

Looking good in either variant.
