It's more than $10k if similarly optioned, probably closer to $15k I'd presume (we don't know pricing yet). It'll probably perform similar to a FBO N55 in a straight line (besting it if it's rocking the DCT most likely), but like has been said, it's not about raw power. The car is a far superior track machine with upgraded cooling, not to mention all the carbon fiber bits that make it much lighter (as it should be).

Looking at the interior shots, it looks to be more luxurious than the F30 too. All this combined, assuming one can be had for 'only' $10-15k more than a 335, makes me think that perhaps the F80 is a better deal than the 335. 20% price increase for more than 20% overall performance while having similar or better luxury feel and a decent mpg. It'll make for a great DD and great track car.

All that said, BMWs aren't known for their bang for your buck value and this isn't one. If you're into performance the C7 vette is better, and omg the new Z06 (which if it comes in under six figures is a bargain - relatively speaking).

Lots of new cars coming out in the near future. Good for those in the market for a new ride in the next couple years.
