I have high hopes for the F8x M engine to be glorious, but I just saw a very minor tune to the M5 put down 625whp which is ridiculous. Running 11s in a car that big with only minor tweaking is crazy.
I have driven an m6 and saw the new m3 in person. The interior is damn close, I actually like it better. The materials are really nice this go around, and the trim and styling is much more sporty than the m6. the CF trim also is a different weave and looks better.

I think the seats are nicer in the m3 as well. But I would definitely say the m3 is up there with the m5/6 interior.

BMW quotes the m3 as being just as fast as the m5, so we will see.
