I got to tell you guys ...

I am bit surprised about the greetings for the new M3. The RS4 saloon looks like to be much more of a competitor than I had expected. Methinks somebody is going to supercharge the development of the CSL :).

The new M3 isnt doing that good
my cousins and i were talking and he has a E46 M3 and he was saying that BMW is Being stupid by adding M-Drive and etc to the new M3
that they should have just left it the same but w/o all the extra gadgets
but it doesnt matter
Its better for us RS4 Fans

It sounds like one would be very stupid to buy an M3 if one really want to go for a BMW but there is a much better option. The 335ci.

It does look like BMW has shot themselves in the foot with that car.:hihi:

And with recent reports on the performance figures of the S5 (4.5 to 60mph and 13.1 to the quarter mile) it looks like in anything other than bone dry weather the S5 will all but own the M3.:lovl:

Because the Cabrio is about 300 lbs heavier and has a chassis that is not as stiff as the Sedan. This allowed them to "game" the testing in favor of the M3, while at the same time saying that they were comparing 2 door models.
