FWIW, my brother lives in Denver and drives an '89 911 Carrera. Quite a fast car...about 2800 lbs with typically 200 RWHP. I drove it around at sea level...very fast. Mid 5 0-60 times. At altitude, they say it loses 25%+ hp. The M3 will still be fast, but not even close to its potential when at altitude.


Thanks j that explains it. I sure hope the M can breath up here...
