Good, but some what short read. Nice hints on the next M3. ETA 2014:joy:

I am not so sure about the new M. 450hp is 330kw which is still lower than the current C63. Fair enough you can mod it but BMW will cancel your MP which then leads me to my question, is it not better to supercharge a 4.0 v8 than mod a 3.0 tri turbo if you gonna lose MP anyway ?

And I saw recently that Savspeed have turbo'd an E92.

330Kw is very poor.
The x35 vs M3 debate will continue late into the night because the M3 will continue to be beaten by its lesser siblings. I want a damn fast M3 period...Please wake up BMW engineers. Enough of M3s are built for track debate. We spend our time on the street not the track....eish and so the underpower saga continues.

Where is the days of the e46 M3 that came with a hell of a lot of power for its time....with no excuses.

If bmw don't up their game, the M3 might not be an icon or benchmark by the end of its production run. Next C63 will prob have a deturnned version of the bi-turbo V8, so its going to be a monster. Gonna need more than better handling to hold onto market share

In my opinion, if the new M3 is not at least over the 365kw mark, it is going to be way behind.

I will definitely rather keep my V8 and charge it. Add some NOS to the mix the and the quarter mile is going to be pretty short. :rollsmile:

You got manual or M-DCT? Because the DCT with the supercharger is a handful with its head getting confused.

people who think 360/370/380/400 kw is the be all and end all will go buy a C63, and then complain about wheelspin and traction issues.

then there will be people who want the better car, and buy the M3
