This whole BMW M3 promotion is really showing that the new M3 is "all show and no go!"
So many contradictory statements:
-"all about efficiency" yet no DFI/FSI!
-"cutting weight" yet the new M3 weighs more than the old one!
-"It can beat a Carrera S around the 'Ring" but the BMW speaker can only hint at a time of 8:10!
I'm sure its a great car, but please say what it really is, and leave the poor sales tactics at the dealership!

Just like the retail salespeople, they will say whatever they think will help them to sell their cars.
If you really needed a backseat, you wouldn't even be shopping for a 911. The comment about engine advancements, yeah, individual throttle bodies is way more advanced than direct injection now being adopted by many manufactures including Porsche.
Stupid.
