Those are the same rims as the ones offered for f30 performance parts?
If that's the case, they are going to cost a freakin arm and a leg...

In a heartbeat. I wish they'd also bring back the lime green!

My only concern is how close to the price of an eventual M2 would you have to pay to get the M performance goodies (LSD, suspension, 19" inch wheels and brakes)

Anyone know if the exhaust system is the same as the M perf system on the 3/4?

I have a confirmed production number that begins build in the second week of December, with an anticipated delivery of late January/early February. We will see - the car is still in locked 112 stratus - which means I cannot pick my options yet...

Still that is exactly what Porsche did already a few years ago in the 997 GT3 4.0 RS and now with the much cheaper 991 GT3. 125hp per liter in a street production NA engine. The M division can usually keep pace with Porsche with their engines to a much lower price. It's not likely they will go this route but do I think they are able to , you bet. Someone on the F80 forum looked at the cylinder spacing and thought that the S55 can likely be bored to close to 4 liter if needed and it's over squared with potential for high rpms without reaching unheard of piston speeds. I actually think it can quite easily be converted into a 380 hp NA engine by the wizards of M. Most likely though it will just be a further tweaked N55 or a de-tuned S55. All BMW engines are now FI, NA is dead and buried in Munich, sadly enough.
