The new BMW M3
What are your opinions on it? Me, I feel the car is over priced, under powered and just fugly. I didnt even know it was a M3 until It passed me. The last Gen M3's look so much better and more agressive. 90k bucks for 400 hp?Why not spend 50-60k on a Ferrari 355 and have the right to say you own a beautiful Ferrari. Or 30k for a Gen 1 or 2 Viper with 400-500 hp? I think the car is just completly pointless.

I like it for what it is but I wouldnt buy brand new, CPO'd and say.. $50k I'd consider it but would rather get a 911 S
It's slow I raced one on I75 w/ a new plate and the guy looked like he was going to cry loosing to a nasty 240.

So you're calling overprice because it doesn't 328097520987329hp?!? Come on now, it's more to car then hp. BMW is on point when it comes to technology, and I believe the engine in the M3 is one of the most efficient every created (using direct injection). Most companies are still in development when it comes to direct injection and here BMW is already using.
its a nice car and all, but the prices just keep going up. E46 M3s were like $65K new. I dont think the upgrade in technology is worth the price of a nice daily driver...
Yea.....thats exactly my point. If you look at most cars now a days the price is influenced by the HP rating and how it performs on the track. NINETY THOUSAND dollars for this car....no matter what you say, it will ALWAYS be over priced...and fugly.Originally Posted by bigdare23

And a car that is sold at 65 grand and 3 years later is worth LESS than HALF of that isnt really a good car..is it?

for real. I thought BMW's resale value was suppose to be top notch...
It also doesnt help when they are the MOST leased vehicle on the road.

typical honda fan boy response...
There are lots of other cars I would rather buy than the E92 M3, but you can bet your ass it wouldnt be a honda...
I like them even for the price I went and looked at one and there are not 90k the are more like $65k
Oh yea the V8 that revs like a GSR motor. That **** would sound so good at WOT with a good exhaust
TOO BIG
id way rather have the c63 amg........i mean yea 400hp is nice,but only 290tq wtf?
thats what I thought. I heard some exhaust clips of the car & I wasnt impressed at all. I know the clip didnt do it justice, but I expected A LOT better.
yeah there not 90k. i like them, i would rather have a 335i coupe instead, though. if i had to pick a bmw.
i dont like it too much... its nice , but it seems kind of boring...
c63 or gtr for me!
I don't post up often, but this warrants attention.What are your opinions on it? Me, I feel the car is over priced, under powered and just fugly. I didnt even know it was a M3 until It passed me. The last Gen M3's look so much better and more agressive. 90k bucks for 400 hp?

The new M3 is currently selling for MSRP, which is 54k base for the sedan and 57k for the coupe.
Why not spend the money on Ferrari 355... well #1 is of course maintenance. BMW's is free where as the Ferrari will cost you thousands in a year.
It has been proven that the 400hp BMW is quicker around a track than its competition. HP numbers mean nothing if can't put it down properly.
Oh, and resell value has a lot more to do the economy and financing than a brand.

Gen 1 Viper>? The Viper is a brute, that's for sure. If you're looking for refinement, that isn't it...Just seems cheaply built as well
im surprised you didn't throw a Z06 in the mix
whats up pot? nothing much besides being black
yeah..i would probably cry too if another 240 with steelies, no paint, and a sr riding on cut springs beat me in my new M3..
****..how would i sleep at nightWait..my car is still nice
It is more expensive then the last gen M3, but that's mostly because the American Dollar has depreciated a lot compared to the Euro.
But if I bought a new BMW it would probably be the 135i.
As for the M3 I'll wait 5-7 years and buy a used one.

I am actually kind of disappointed in the new M3. I think it looks great and has awesome tech in it but I really think a V8 was the wrong direction to go in.

why?
Your post confirms you've never driven either car. First, the three cars are from completely different eras and cater to different segments. I'm sure less than 5% of M3 buyers would even consider an F355, or a similar number of 1st gen Viper aficionados considering M3s.What are your opinions on it? Me, I feel the car is over priced, under powered and just fugly. I didnt even know it was a M3 until It passed me. The last Gen M3's look so much better and more agressive. 90k bucks for 400 hp?

Even an ///M3 with custom interior and paint (BMW Individual) does not cost 90K.. so unless you're reading info off some UK web site, you are completely off the mark. Second, try getting a F355 in mint condition for $50K.. oh that's right, you can't. Besides, as someone else mentioned, you need a lot of dough to maintain a Ferrari. Check out Edmunds long term Ferrari if you wanna continue blabbering. 30K for a Gen1 Viper might sound cool and bargain basement but then then the overall quality is bargain basement as well. If you hate BMWs, admit it. But don't go about posting nonsensical information.
The only thing I agree with is your approval of E46 M3s. But if it's aggresiveness you seek, the E30 M3 is the real wolf amongst the ///M pack. Of course, if it were my money, I'd just buy an RS4 or '09 RS5.
I just think the 3.0L TT motor would have been a simply amazing way to go they could have easily gotten 400hp or more out of that motor

i think the car is cool it could look better and have more power. its ok but i'd never ****ing buy one
probably find one wrecked, pull the motor and drop it in something else
idk what tho

M3 has to be N/A to add to that, Forced induction isn't allowed in allot of series the M3 racecar will compete in. Like GT2.
good point.

Put up some pics of the car Ant.
Man you must really like Vipers don't you? You bring em up in almost every one of your posts....What are your opinions on it? Me, I feel the car is over priced, under powered and just fugly.

C'mom man! A Bimmer is a bimmer and I am sure a lot of people would rather have a 414 Hp M rather than a 500 + HP cheaply made Viper.....I know I do.
BMW has cooling issues with those motors right now...

i'd still rather have my v8 (yes i have more displacment) but mine also revs no where as high
-ls2_kid
and urs makes ALOT more torque..
So he's a Viper wannabe but drives a Mustang... wow! lol
NO PICTURES NO CARE
Check the displacement difference. And Torque it is important...but the higher you go in revs......the lower it gets.
And this 4.0 liter revs to 8,300 RPM!!!! I mean really.
