I am not talking about the 07 or 08 future V8 M3, I am talking about the V6 coupe they just released in 06. Can you beleive that it gets the gas guzzler tax and only has 330hp?


It's not the engine's fault - it's because the damn thing is so heavy. M3 used to be a sports car - now it's bigger than the first 7-Series...



It's not that heavy 3230lbs. By today's car standards that is fairly light. It's actually lighter than the old M3 coupe. According to the website it gets 16/24 mpg. I don't understand how a 3.0L V6 gets such poor mileage.


There is no way that an M3 weighs that little in US street trim with fluids - that's less than most 997's...
