The G80 will be the last true M3 car.

I don’t think mild hybrid is going to be much heavier but it does seem like BMW has little care about the weight.

Newer generation will be heavier than the last one, plus bigger in size. Look at the new M5. It’s a rhino now.

I’m not sure that’s actually very accurate. The dealership that is closest to me has mostly six speeds in stock, including the M2 everything that comes in is a six speed.

That seems to be the number one enthusiast choice right now…

BMW is following the Porsche playbook where they run the ice cars concurrent side-by-side with the electric cars for at least two years.

I can’t wait for the quad motor M3/4’s Those things are going to be insane

Agree, I also think the G80 M3 will be the last true M3.
