Terrible color and a little blingy- but sounds like will have a manual trans.
Not official, but just read this 422 hp, 400 tq, and 3289 lbs.

May be a semi competitor of gt3 for roughly 1/2 price.

Awesome car. I love the looks. I dd an '13 M5 and that's way more car then an m3 or this 4. That's a great car but in no way a competitor of the GT3. Different markets.

Sorry, 0-62 in 4.1 sec, just does not cut it for me. Where I live too many cars would blow me away with that acceleration. In these neck of the woods you need better acceleration than that to get any respect on the road. Even though the performance specs are close I am sure a carrera s would put M3/4 to shame and 911s are dime a dozen here.

Sorry, but I actually had to laugh out loud reading that statement! 4.1 seconds, 3.5 seconds or 2.9 seconds. Who actually gives a toss? If you honestly believe that better acceleration gives you more respect on the road (here or elsewhere), we're clearly not in the same neck of the woods, but in different galaxies!
BTW, I'm getting the new M3. In Yas Marina Blue. For my wife. And she'll love it.

Glad you got a kick out of my statement but I was not kidding. Just try driving a red sports car where I am and you have people engaging you in some contest every day. I experienced it to a lesser extent with my red 991 and much more now with the 458. Must be the damn color. Also I have been on several out of town drives along with 911 turbo driver, again people join in and want to race you. I need every bit of hp when that happens.

Sure, I don't disagree with you and others that the m 3/4 is probably a wife car. Of course bmw enthusiasts will hate this comment.

Again looks great but I recently shared a garage at a trackday with a current M3 and it could only run 4-5 laps of PI before it had fried tyres, brakes and was overheating engine components etc... That was on an 18oC day... I've done 1 hour stints on a 35oC day... Different league without significant modification...
