I wasn't sure if this should be here or on the Scans section, but anyway:

Sadly, the articles are in German, but you can see the essential.


P.S.: The scans aren't mine, I found them on another Forum.

Well it could also be argued that since the original was made in traveller form and was within the concept of the mini offering something for eveyone then it would be fine for BMW to do the same, but i have to say their take on the traveller is damn ugly :-( The pickup is marginally better idea (doubtless it would sell best in the US) and although rare these are still originals about and I have quite a soft spot for them :D can't really tell what it looks like though from just one angle.

410 hp for the M3 vs 425 for the new RS4

Given that the bimmer will have at least 200kg weight advantage, going on current models then say goodbye audi! especially with the lack of torque advantage from no audi turbos.

Then comes the CSL ;)

What the hell are you brabling about?
The M3 is a 2 seater, the RS4 a comfy 4 seater and in case of the estate you can even bring your dog along for the ride. Or dump your annoying little kids in the back ;)

But with the M3 all you have to do is find a babysitter and you don't have to take your annoying little kids :wink:

it's a four seater :P

[Just_me]

Who cares about 4 seater, cars are meant to be driven not transporting people. If you want company take the bloody bus :wink:

[mindgam3]

yeah, a porsche is also a 4 seater ;)

I dare you to drive with 4 people in an M3 for a few hours, and no pissstops every 5 minutes ;)

lol, done :P There's a fair bit more room than a 911 i can tell you :P

Regular 3 series can seat 4 men comfortably, why should the M3 be any different? ;)

[blah]

But with the RS4 you can take 3 beautifull women with you...

like you could please one woman, why do you want 2 more woman you couldnt please.

[|Nuno|]

[neilo63]

Prob like this: 1 3 5 7 or R 1 3 5 7

2 4 6 R 2 4 6

A 7 speed that was not a sequential shift would be quite stupid.

[styla21]

Why? :?

yeah..that would be really weird and I can't see this happening.

^^ I have a pic of the M5's patern's and it was rather different... I'll see if I can find it.

You take 3 chicks with the RS4 and me 1 with the M3, then we compare the quality :twisted:

[ferrarif1fan89]

Why? :?

it would be pretty hard to shift normally IMO.

[schnell318]

Only problem is we´re gonna have to wait very long for the M3/CSL... :cry:

But when it´s out, all hell will break loose :twisted:

And this is a manual manual, not a sequential?

Wow.
