It seems there has been great emphasis on keeping weight down and also the rumours of DCT gearbox only are untrue with a 6 speed manual as standard.

Also of note is that the rear subframe is bolted directly to the chassis without rubber bushings as per F10 M5.

speakers amplifying the engine noise again :roll: A properly developed exhaust like the past would be suffice?!

The engine is well over square so its going to be a revver and being manual + DCT only makes it different to the auto only B3.

Still sounds rather hefty, tipping the scales at 1.5 tonnes - as much as big luxo-barges like Jag XJ6s and E34s used to weigh! :?

I like the fact is lighter
Decent looker
How many they build ?
Depends how many have the cash to buy one new or get finance on one

You can get new M5 for £6k deposit and 500 per month over 24 months max 10k per annum for example
