cmon man, you should know the difference between an M car and a 3 series, and if you dont you will and youll know why certain people prefer a high reving engine, a lsd plus all the other M goodies the new car will have.

And yes, all bmw's are limited to 155, same with audi and mercedes iirc.

0 - 100 km/h of 4.8 sec is very conservative from BMW IMO....

It's just funny how the previous generation owners always whine about the weight of the new generation M car. IIRC, this car is less of a weight gain than from the E36 to the E46, and packs a V8 and is a larger vehicle.

And BMW is always very conservative with their 0-60 numbers.

Whining? Hardly. Enjoy your M3 and move on.
