how about the M1 i've been hearing alot about that,its supposed to get the curent s54 M3/Mroadster engine and weigh alot less. what do yall think

 

I think you are talking about the 135i that will get the N54 twin turbo engine currently in the 335i... the M1 was the first M car created it already exists. Or... maybe you heard something that i didn't .

 

Finally, someone who understands what an M car is.

 

I couldn't imagine why anyone would buy the new M3...the 335i and the upcoming 135i are so superior for the money. And if you are looking for a track/ true sports car (which I never considered the M3 to be...it was closer to the perfect, albeit underpowered dd) there are so many better options. For the money you can pick up a low mileage 2004 996TT.

 

true, 996TT is vastly superior to the new M3 IMO

 

thats why i ditched 335i/new m3 idea

 

i was thinking about getting the new m3 but can't decide if i wanted blk or white color. i'm still looking at other options such as gtr, 996tt...etc

 

If only Mercedes would build more of that CLK DTM and sell it for under 100k. That would be the baby maker right there.

 

welcome to the forum!

 

Thanks bud!

 

The M3 just doesn't have anything that takes it over the top as the "hardcore" three series. No looks, no engine, nada.

I'll be keeping my E46M3 thanks.

 

my opinion? they are gonna sell a ton of them like they always do.

 

No engine???

 

+1. Only thing is that the M3 looks soo much better compared to the long skinny 335i

 

The engine although it is not powerful is pretty impressive. V8 that revs 7k +. And it does have the looks, compred to the 335 it has the same looks as your E46 M.
