    Re: First M3 V8 vs RS4 review wtih acceleration times

    That's very surprising.

    Re: First M3 V8 vs RS4 review wtih acceleration ti

    The M3 is certainly quick at 10.2 to 160km/h and 16.0 to 200km/h. Quicker than a 997 Carrera S...........just.

    Re: First M3 V8 vs RS4 review wtih acceleration ti

    I'll take the RS4. Four doors, better passenger arrangements for a sports sedan. Of course just my opinion!

    Re: First M3 V8 vs RS4 review wtih acceleration ti

    Don't forget that a 4 door M3 is going to be part of the model line up this time around. And the mules spotted on test (and posted on various BBs) have the front end from the E92 coupe fitted as opposed to the regular saloon/sedan from the E90 which IMHO makes the car look far more attractive and distinctive from the regular 3 series 4 door models.

    Expected numbers , since the RS4's AWD adds 300-400 lbs or more over an M3 with similar power outputs. It's as if the RS4 carries two larger adults in the back seat, at testing time !

    Yeah, the ricers who work at BestBuy are getting heavier these days....must not be getting the salads at McD's....

    They'll just need to move up from these little ricer-mobiles and emulate their rapper brethren....get a large SUV w/XXL wheels and XXL cupholders (and extra-dark tinted windows of course)....

    I was being kind in not actually defining " larger " in today's demographics .

    Need to consider the BestBuy culture to know the M3 buyer base.....

    Have been joking for years w/colleagues that the miracle of US innovation&capitalism (aside from the obvious financial/tech stuff) is that our food companies are exporting obesity to RoW rapidly and our iPods (and media/entertainment businesses) are rapidly exporting the inability to read/count...or at least the ability to "get by" w/o learning to read/count...

    Auto mfrs. need to take notice....and develop even bigger cars/SUVs for heavier dudes in US/China/EU (screw the tight-fit sport seats; what was so wrong w/bench seats? ) who can't read/count (need more "interesting", profitable leases/extended warranties ) but enjoy their rap music and XXL cupholders/food trays (staying obese is a full-time job ).....and want whatever car/SUV is in their favorite rapper's latest video....

    Re: First M3 V8 vs RS4 review wtih acceleration ti

    omg i cant believe BMW screwing this up!
    why are they making 4 door M3 now?? oh yeah cause both the MB C63AMG and the RS4 4 door models will be able to keep up or be faster??? so what does that say about the 2door M3?!?! lol i guess we will see even more posers buying one of those little M3s..

    i wonder how they will feel when they are followed closely by a family of 4 in an AUDI...

    hahaha what happened to BMW? they used to be all about sporty rides in a way..

    Re: First M3 V8 vs RS4 review wtih acceleration ti

    FYI this is not the 1st time that M3 comes in 4 door, last one being E36 M3/4 from 1997~1998. So pls save that "why are they making 4 door M3 now?? and BMW used to be all about sporty rides in a way....

    Yeah......or, how does it make the 911S owner feel when THAT M3 speeds past.

    Re: First M3 V8 vs RS4 review wtih acceleration ti

    Oh wow, BURN Devo!!! Anyway, this means very little to nothing (0-100 ish times) oh well. Anyone these days can make a car go very fast, I am interested in how it handles... and the braking times SHOW how well the car will handle.

    Seems to me that many individuals who have been saying that an RS4 is better need to rethink a few things. (Keep in mind, I don't think a RS4 is a good comparison for the M3...)

    I additionally don't think a 911 is a good comparison for the M3 either. In my own humble opinion, if I was on the track and I had an option (911 or New M3)... I would take the 911 every time (it's a sports car...a proper one). The M3 to me is a luxury but sporty 3 series.

    The M3 CSL is a different beast... but the M3 is for the people that want more power, but don't necassarily want a larger car to get it. Essentially most buyers of an M3 have considered a Porsche or AMG CLK or C class ... to that extent even a 545 (these days a 550) or a an E550 --- but bigger doesn't mean better. So what is a decent size and has alot of power and handles well but doesn't beat you up too badly when driving to work? the M3 or a porsche 911.

    I prefer the 911S to the M3; although given the choice between a base 911 and the E92 M3, I'd go M3.

    I find it funny how some members discredit the M3 just because it's not a PORSCHE. I am not saying that you are, but that sentiment has ben very prevelant.

    Personally, one of the virtues of the M was it's price point relative to the performance it supplied. Unfortunately, the new M is likely to approach 911 territory. If that happens, it's a no brainer, for me.

    Lastly, the M has been clocked faster than the 911S 0-100 mph.

    It's not a Porsche 911, but it's an impressive car, that deserves repect.

    Re: First M3 V8 vs RS4 review wtih acceleration ti

    I give it all the respect that it is due (to the point that I have one on order). However, I am begining to second guess myself, I guess. The new M3 is and will be what I expect it to be, however, is it better than just a normal C2? Body wise, I don't think so. Sound wise, I don't think so... it may be faster but will it do the same thing a 911 will do for me? I dunno, I will have to see. A 911 C2 and a M3 will cost about the same amount of money when they are released here in the states... so, I don't know where I stand. But yeah, I like the new M3.

    I also have one on order, and... am also second guessing my choice. I will have to see the car and read more comprehensive tests of the M. As far as the sound...from what I can tell, the M's V8 sounds better than the base 911 w/o PSE. It will probably be a different story from the cockpit, but that V8 sounds pretty impressive.

    Re: First M3 V8 vs RS4 review wtih acceleration ti

    i think the RS4 which tested by Car mag. was convertable , and its heavier than the for doors around 150 Kg

    Re: First M3 V8 vs RS4 review wtih acceleration ti

    Numbers presented in the first post is for a 4-door Rs4. Those numbers are from a dutch carmag.
