I believe those are what BMW calls "Air Curtains" and on the back of the wheel "Air Breathers"

I don't believe they are active.

Good looking car overall. Definitely want to check it out.

Gorgeous car!

It will sell like hot cakes. Im still a sucker for the V8 in the outgoing M3. But this one should not disappoint.

I thought the torque was around 400-410 lb.ft.

Nice video! The blue doesn't look as good in the video as it does in the pictures though. Can't wait to see it in white.

There is also a price of 73k Euro from what i read? ( it is not in english but i just guessed ) not sure what that translates to down here in Australia or over there in USA though. But it is a start.

0-100 in 4.3 I am pretty disappointed in its performance though. Weight, handling style are looking great! Good track car for sure however straight line performance the 2015 C63 will beat it by miles.

The CLA45 does 0-100 in 4.5 and the c63 will have 2 CLA engines fused together. I seriously expect 4.0 or sub 4.0 0-100 times for the new C63

Everything you would EVER want to know about the new M3/M4.

Hope there is something this meticulously detailed available when the new C63 debuts.

Enjoy:

I pray Affalterbach has an answer for this.

The new M3 looks MEGA (inside and out). And it's powerful, quick, and light.

You can drive it as much as you want now. It's available in Gran Turismo 6 as of today.

That's for the manual transmission.

DCT is 3.9.

And BMW's 0-60 times, power estimates, etc. are notoriously conservative.

Expect 3.4/3.5 0-60 times from the DCT-equipped models.

Mercedes will have a good response. They are making 350 hp from a two litre!! The new C63 will be devastating. I drove the CLA 45 and it is crazy fast. Imagine twice the power.

Don't be surprised,

A C63 weighs around 3900lbs / 1800 KG

The new M's weigh 3300lbs / 1600 KG.

Thats huge, the torque on this car would be brutal as well. I would love to see how the new M's stack up against the c63's. Its a tough call, you just can't overcome the huge weight difference.

Yes but you can't compare the New M's against the current C63s, the current C63's even the 507 should lose out. If they didn't then the M division is doing a poor job

You need to compare the new M's with the new C63's next year. Then you will know which is the superior car.

Also to the poster above

0-60 is 4.1 or 3.9 DCT not 0-100 there is a difference. Even so I doubt they would be pushing 3.4 0-60 even with an experienced driver behind the wheel you are reaching Ferrari 458 levels of acceleration @_@

Car magazines have tested the current generation C63 at 3.7 seconds 0-60.

"Our best time—0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds—came without making use of the “race start” launch-control setting."

Car and Driver got 3.7 seconds without Race Start.

http://www.caranddriver.com/comparis...g-coupe-page-2

And that was on a non-507 C63.

Hell, the new '14 E63S is at 3.4 right now.

Don't be shocked or mad when I told you so after the car magazines get their hands on the new F80 M3.

I'm not feeling this at all. Very glad I pulled the trigger on the 507. It's been a long time since I've seen a BMW that I'd want to own.

Right, and the e is also AWD and has 600+ hp. Granted heavier, but I think you're being optimistic if you expect this rwd M car is going to pull a 3.4. Hey if it does great, very cool, don't think anyone is going to be mad or lose sleep here bud, but just like drag racing in the 1/4, it's not as easy to go from 4 to 3.5 as it is to go from 6 to 5 or 5 to 4.

I'm excited to see these bad boys being built, with what the N54 is able to put down on a stock block these things should be even more wild!
