More on the new V8 M3

[Pehtren]

Not so much as the Z06, because the corvette has a bigger engine.

RUF R kompressor-435HP, 0-60mph:4.1s......I think its based on the carrera S

RUF RT12: 530 hp, 560hp, 650hp

Then you'll have a ultra-rare car, sexy, spectacular... and sooo fun!!

I think I want the exige. I heard that you can have the dealership install a turbo in it. Supposedly 4.3 seconds. Im guessning Cayman would beat the exige only in top speed right?

Man if you park both side by side, I bet more people will look at the exige. IT just looks sooo damn awesome. Friends of mine thought they costed like 80K$ instead of 53.

Ups my mistake, i meant mk2 V6. Its based on a mk3 Clio, that i meant... :roll:

[dutchmasterflex]

Demon, I'd go with the Exige with out a doubt.

fuck the creature comforts and easy entrance.

Just make sure you have a track near by to keep the Exige happy..

If you choose to go Lotus, take an Elise, and upgrade it (add a compressor,...) It costs less and ends up being better on a track

E90 M3...can't wait!!

[mrai]

I hope they dont fuck this up since i know quite a few people who are having problems with their new M5's. Keeps showing Transmission failure, cannot shift to D or R or anything !!! the screen of the gear is empty!

[Pehtren]

Yes the VANOS and the transmission are two most often failures off the new M5/6. And the ppl now and they still buy the car...

[Bernardo]

almost every car have problems and ppl still buying 'em, if they dont ppl would just go to work by bike

[bmagni]

more new pics

[coloradosilver]

Almost the same tail lights as the new 3-series coupe (non M). Thats a real disappointment. Looks like a Honda from the back.

I also have it that the 4.0 V8 will be producing 430 hp, not 400 as previously thought. My source on this is fairly accurate, but we'll have to wait and see for sure.

Will the performance and driving experience be enough to make up for the looks? Lets hope so, but it will take a lot.
