I feel like they are doing it in order of the numbers, so next will be the m5, then the m6
Theres my engine but wheres my car? Probably should've called the evolution of the m3. I was so excited for my very to be on car buzz. Now I have nothing to live for besides my car.

Yeah i often wondered that too, German cars, home of the autobahn, and they limit the top speed, a bit funny
I've heard it was a self imposed gentlemen's agreement among German manufacturers to prevent the government to impose a speed limit on the autobahn. I believe the limiter is up to the manufacturers discretion
Hp numbers and 0-62 times are a great way to win an argument. But to win in a race, its how this car performs in the bends. A perfect 50-50 weight distribution and the LSD really sets it apart and hardly any set of numbers can tell you that story.
Description: The E46 M3 was also sold with a Competition Package (ZCP) that was based on the CSL (which was never sold in the U.S.). The Competition Package was introduced for 2005 and it offered a $4,000 option p...

The BMW in Fast and Furious wasn't an M3. It was an M5 replica... In other words they just took a regular 5 series and made it look M5ish. Although I agree it has a similar paint scheme. A god-awful paint scheme!
I would literally give my left nut to have that car. Any owners want to take me up on the offer?
with rods, pistons and lower the compression ratio while running E85 to burn cooler and keep it from detonating itself into a paper weight. Personally, I'd love to have a turbo 95 3.0 M3. Not a fan of the vanos system for reliable, track-able boost.
We have some geniuses willing to boost a high strung motor with 11.5:1 CR. Feasible? Of course but if it's on stock internals keep it low with high octane. 110 to be safe. If you're smart you'd rebuild it to support the higher pressure.
k cause i as confused since its a straight six and nothing is aluminum on the bottom end so i was pretty sure it would be fine but im not huge on bmw so i wasent gonna argue
Lou has no clue what he's talking about he's just trying to hate
idk maybe my bud got lucky he has a leguna seca blue m3 and its been boosted for like 5 yrs now and hasent had a prob.. but he only using 11lbs of boost
oh they are cause thats a csl and has special tires, when u bought one u had to sign a waver saying u understand the tires basically will only work when its hot
Everything great you've heard about it, is true. Putting it in neutral and lifting the parking brake lever is literally the hardest part of my day.
I see them all the time for sale around here but I wouldn't buy one because they all seem to be around that 75-100K mark were its time to perform a bunch of maintenance and people probably get rid of them because they realize how much it's gonna cost
Becoming increasing hard to find one. Fortunate to have been for a spin in one - lovely induction noise. Great car and very collectible.
