M3/4 equals the perfect blend of the two...
Agree- if aluminum and CF widely used, it'll also be a lot lighter than the m235i. Not the easiest way to speed, but certainly one of the most rewarding.
Lighter weight is obviously good and we should see reduction but the amount of weight reduction a 4 cylinder brings cannot offset the numerous positive attributes of a 6 cylinder with M enhancements combined! The M2 will be a track car but it will also live the majority of its life on the street. I hope that the 84% is being heard.
