New M3 Saloon to be launched first

[ASH M]

How come 90 percent of v8 m3 owners want superchargers for their m3's. As soon as we see a build like that everyone says WOW, not a single ' you spoiled a great NA' car.
Seems a bit hypocritical.

It'll still sound the same, still have a responsive engine, still rev to 8600, basically all the characteristics of a NA engine but with added power. Makes total sense if you want more power but keep the vehicle closest to oem drive-ability.

No it won't sound the same, it won't drive the same at all and will have the characteristics of a forced induction motor which it will be.
Like I said m owners always go on about the na motor but you just admitted it would be better with boost, end of story

Still think its gonna be epic :rollsmile:

Guys... The main reason for the turbo was to give it better fuel consumption whilst maintaining the M heritage. In the EU, poor consumption = poor sales.BMW have been focused on twin power turbos ( twin turbo in M3) from the 1 series upwards for their efficient dynamic ( fuel saving) programme - Valvetronics and direct injections about fuel saving with compromising on power

Turbo-charging is very different to supercharging. Have you driven a e9x M3 with a supercharger? If done correctly, its just a M3 with way more power. The sound is the same, very slight supercharger wine.

Yes I have and the car is very much different, the thing you like about it is the torque, the 1m is the best drivers m car at present and the motor is an n54

You miss the point, the m fans keep harping on about normally aspirated, guess that is long gone

Yes and to those fans, it's very sad.

This only makes the V8 ///M even more of a legend.Remember my previous comment on another thread...the ///M fleet is legendary. Whether its faster or slower than a car not developed by M division it's an ///M and everything about it irrespective of series means that it looks like its going a 100 mph even when parked off.

Disclaimer : Not a dig at the 335i/ diesel owners- the conments above is about an ///M cars heritage
