What is this discussion about? BMW M3, Coupe

First Drive: 2008 BMW M3 - Simple logic: If it's good enough to beat the 911, then it will be better than everything else. Gerhard Richter, vice president of BMW M Power, says, "M3 stands for our philosophy; it best describes the M character." (more)

Full Test: 2008 BMW M3 Coupe - Bottom Line: BMW has broadened the operating envelope of this car, but it's still quite hard-core, and actually feels tauter and less relaxed than the Audi R8 supercar. (more)

Replying to: roadburner (Jul 10, 2007 7:55 pm) Looks like BMW has finally finished castrating the "M" line. The E46 M3 (CSL) was the last holdout (not counting the nicely done Z4 M Coupe), but it seems that BMW should have named this car the 340i and saved the M3 name for the lighter, firmer CSL (the M3 should be the ultimate, no CSL needed) they are planning. Looks like BMW has produced yet another M3 that doesn't compel me to sell my E30 M3... Replies to this message: roadburner (Jul 11, 2007 7:12 am)

#7 of 9 335i more sensible choice? by koukir32 Nov 05, 2007 (1:52 am)
Sure enough Carbon fibre roof like the last gen M3 CSL is quite impressive. But seems to me all that V8 power can't seems to transform into good acceleration numbers? I mean, it's gonna be slower that the Audi RS4 quite a bit. But for sure it will be hard to beat in the handling side (Lexus IS-F dido) (Never quite big fan on boring Quattro's handling) As recent test show's that Lexus's numbers were actually quite similar to what BMW M3's other than the price of course. Hmm.. a comparo between 335i (Auto) with the stick shift M3 and IS-F?
