**dinan540** · 07-12-2006, 04:15 PM

**EnvyM3** · 07-12-2006, 04:22 PM

moved to multimedia

Got to love all the burnouts and drifting

**xsperf** · 07-12-2006, 07:24 PM

they are coming to the US in the fall, so approximately september, and they are going to run well over 40K, which means you could spend a little more and get an e46 m3

**Spieluhr** · 07-13-2006, 12:19 AM

how do they do, power wise?

when is the new M3 supposed to come out? Cause that will have the 500hp V10 power plant yes?

no itll be a V8 as far as i know.

godam....that car is absolutely amazing. Atleast from what i see/hear.

**xsperf** · 07-13-2006, 12:34 AM

yea i think the new m3 will just have the old m5 engine, or something very similar

**94bmw325i** · 07-13-2006, 09:11 AM

I saw that vid a week or so ago, looks like an awesome car!

**z4Power** · 07-13-2006, 10:24 AM

wow, that 335i will eat my car alive...nothing im ashamed about, lol, but holy hell was there any time where he wasnt spinning the tires?...nice rear window shade thingy, but i didnt care for the seatbelt arm thing, seemed a bit slow for some people...hmm, a good idea tho

bitchin car though, i want a turbo...

**BMWLotAttendant** · 07-13-2006, 07:44 PM

Yea...we're getting one in a couple months. Fall is right.

the new e90 M3s are going to have a 400hp V8, same as the e39 M5.

**celsdogg** · 07-13-2006, 07:50 PM

ah the S62 in an M3. sweet.

i didnt like the seatbelt extender thing either, very weird.

i like the look of the coupes better than the current sedans. . .

**TJsBimm** · 07-13-2006, 07:54 PM

lovin the 335i, car looks fast before it even gets rollin.

Isn't it lighter all of the things I have seen previously said it was just as heavy as the outgoing 3.2 Inline 6.

Back on topic, looks sweet I need to see one in person and decide if I could live with one.

You could, but you wouldn't want to. I'm sure if you just gave it a better tune it would be more powerful than the E46 M# they probably detuned it a bit from the factory so that soccer moms who know nothing about cars that just want the expensive one don't kill themselves.

So give it a better tune will probably = E46 M3

Upgrade the blower and then tune it = WOWZER!

EDIT: Didn't realize it was a twin turbo....

So upgrade the Main blower and then tune it =holy shit

(for thsoe who aren't into FI, on a twin turbo, the smaller turbo is there to get thebig turbo going, essentially eliminating the turbo lag from just one big blower. )

I bet you could get some crazy HP out of this setup with a little bit of tuning and some choice parts. Look at it this way. The 97' supra twin turbo had 327 HP at the crank from the factory. without upgrading internals, people have been able to turn them into 600 RWHP beasts just by taking out the turbo setup and putting one massive turbo in there. The potential with this car will be endless. I see this as the new tuner car for BMW enthusiasts who want M3 horsepower without the price tag.

yea but i guess an ///M is always an ///M, just something special, handling, looks, value too, i mean yea its more expensive, however after the value of the ///M depreciates, it stop sthen eventually starts going back up, just look at the e30 M3s, they go for ~ 14K! well, who knows to each his own i guess

**Chris** · 07-13-2006, 09:47 PM

Oh by all means, the M is by far a greater investment, and you definitley get your money's worth with an M. i'm just saying that for people who want bmw's with huge HP, this will probably become the car of choice.

The e30 ///Ms go for so much because they are a much rarer car than the e36 of 46 ///Ms and they have now started to become a collectors item (if all goes well in about a year I will have one)

I agree with Chris I think given the info we have that it could be a car that we see big numbers from after tuners get their hands on them.

I'm going to call you on that one. I beg to differ.

Show me several e30 M3s that are over $40K.
