I'll never go anywhere near 150mph..EVER. I'd bet most M3 owners won't as well.
Why not build a street M3 version with a speed limiter at say..100mph. (no, the 135i is not it) Then, the car can be much lighter, and design optimization can be done for lower, more legal speeds, while maintaining great fuel efficiency?
 
Who told BMW that the driving experience is all about driving 90mph over the speed limit??
 
Hmm..I should get paid for such ideas.

Joe, someone already makes a car for you.
It's called a Solara.

I didn't realize that the E28 was such a porker! Is it really that big and heavy? OK, it's off my list...
 
Why don't you just buy an E30 M3 already and be done with it. You know you want too. How about some pictures of mine to give you a little nudge...
 
Timeless styling with plenty of back seat and trunk space for the family (well, a smallish family anyways)...

 
Quiet, smooth, economical, and reliable 4 cylinder engine (OK, maybe not so quiet, smooth, or economical)...

 
Plush leather interior with ergonomically designed controls and power everything (By 1980's standards anyways)...

Thanks for the "help"...
 
I have been checking the inventory of this place, which is only a couple of hours away. It's recieved good reviews at S14.net, the only caveat is that their asking prices are pretty high. In adition to several E30-E36 M3s, they have a 318ti fitted with an S52 engine and other appropriate upgrades. All I'd need to do is stick a "316d" badge on the back and I'd be good to go...

I would almost be willing to pay you to stop coming up with your ideas or opinions. For someone that has repeatedly expressed his dislike for the new M3, you seem very obsessed with commenting on the car. Why don't you just move on and post on the 335 thread. Sure all of you can have a grandeous time pointing and snickering at the M3 owners and tell each other how for 10K worth of mods you can almost be as fast as an M3 and still have a couple K left over.

There won't be anything left over after adding an aerodynamic body kit and 21" chrome wheels...

Just remember, it's always better to look fast than to actually be fast...
