Sweet car, hoping to have the M3 as my next car. Although I dunno if I want to give up the moonroof in favor of the lightweight model..

Target is 7:52 around N'ring. Also, the car weights 1250kg (10kg less then the S2000) while the power goes up very slighty to ~265kW (~355hp).

If you're after acceleration numbers then just look at 911 GT3 as it matches the GT3 in weight, power as well as the N'ring laptime (well, actually it 'should' be 5secs quicker).
