i raced a new M3 in my car. WOW that car takes offf man crack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was letting my go by 3.5 car lengths and then all of sudden he floors his car and dang he is 8 car lengths ahead of me!!!!!!! MAN I WANNA DO THAT AGAIN, BUT WITH A SUPERCHARGER!!!!!!!!!

 

yea, those things are crazy..
my friend got one and all he does is smile..he knows how to drive stick REAL well..
thats a crazy car

 

That car is fast and phat!

 

gotta hand it to the //M Series - they are fast cars; but you are paying for that speed
a new one runs into the 40-50's....right?

 

Yeah, a new M3 run around $46K (MSRP). The amount of $ different is around $10K+ (IS300 vs. M3).
Can I order a Turbo Charge to go please.......

With a turbo install + here and there tune up ....That would be a fun (fair) race......

 

Defenitely!!

But don't try it with a supercharger, unless you are running a stage 4 or 5.

That's why I always would put my money on the turbo

 

dont forget the m3 has the highest dealer mark up, i've seen them in my area goin for $100,000. :eek:

 

although I would never buy a BMW over a Lexus, much respect to //M technology

3.2 liter inline 6 gets
333 hp @ 7900
262 torque @ 4900
thats squeezing everything you possibly can out of a 3.2 liter engine....just my 2¢

and yes - the markup is RIDICULOUS !

 

I was coming up from behind one yesterday. I had never seen one before, so I mistakened it for a 3-series from afar. But the closer I got to it, I was like "Why does the rear end look so different??" I attributed the aggressive look to maybe an aftermarket body kit, but when I got close to see the //M3 and the 4 exhaust I was like "Phat!" Of course it was some old dude driving it Probably going through his mid-life crisis...

 

new M3 is anywhere from 60-80k with premium.

 

WTF! is up with that markup??? saw a blue one going for about 85k!!!!!!!!:eek: the person who ordered it changed his mind at the last minute it is one of the only avail. floor models in stock I think

 

i'm realy intreasted in getting a new M3...i was looking around few dealers and the best price i found it was $5k over invoice wich makes $52 for full loaded M3 and 5k over still kind of high.

freand of mine b0t a used 2001 M5 with only 200 miles on it for $69k (all posseble options),so i'm still confused what to do i also want to wait for new C 36 supecharged benz but i dout it will be cheaper then M3 ore faster then M3..

 

My cousin has one of those E46 M3 and the car is grey metallic w/ black leather (I don't remember all of his options, but for sure, I know that he has the xenon, cd player, Harman Kardon). He paid for $59900 out of the door. And I know that as soon as the car's breaking in period is over... it'll be one hell of a beast!

 

I looked at the M3 before getting my IS, the dealer wanted 15k over MSRP. I bought the IS. for the same money I can make the IS faster and NOT look like the 500,000 BMW's driving around the bay area.
I see more BMW's in the bay area on my way to work, than I saw in a week in Germany.

 

have you guys seen the sequsntial manual transmission BMW M3???? ( the auto matic one)
it has a shifter that looks exactly like a stick, and it acts the same too!! AND NO CLUTCH!!! i talked to a BMW person who said that it will perform the same and even better than a MANUAL stick!!! how crazy is that?!?!?!?
