Replying to: mmoreno1978 (Mar 31, 2007 10:11 am) Price: what is the price difference because the pairing is first based on pricing. Performance: what will be the performance difference- how close are the respective cars in the bracket? |

Interesting. When I told the BMW dealer I was looking at the M35, he took us directly to the 530xi. Did not even mention the 525 (now the 528). The similar equipped 530 was actually $10 less per month (lease) than the M35. I havent seen any website or car magazine compare the M45 to a 535 anywhere. Anytime i see the M45, you always see the E550, GS430, A6 4.2 and 550 in the same sentence. Guess we are getting our information from different places. I normally refer to Motor Trend, Car and Drive, Road and Track, etc.... Kudos to BMW for improving the engine. The 530 (I6) with 255 HP was WEEEEAAAAAAKKKKKKK. Im sure the new engine will hold its own next to the M35. Either way, all great cars.

Replying to: mmoreno1978 (Mar 31, 2007 10:41 am) That's one perspective. I, persoanally, wouldn't consider the m35, one reason being the engine. It had a little more power(25hp) then the 3.0L BMW engine, but it's loud, thrashy, heavy, and very thirsty. That just doesn't seem worth it for a .3 second 1/4 mile gap... My buddy with a g35 says he's happy to get 21-22mph highways. OTOH, the newer BMW engine has 300hp, 300lb-ft, and has the positive traits of the older motor. It's been dynoed at ~350hp--which would make it more of an m45 competitor..

Replying to: mmoreno1978 (Apr 02, 2007 10:34 am) BMW M3 (420HP)vs Audi RS4 (420 HP) BMW 550i(360 HP) vs Audi S6(435 HP) BMW M5 (507 HP) vs Audi RS6 (520+HP) So the S6 is not a direct competitor to the M5, it is currently being compared to the M5 because of the absence of the RS6 for the time being.
