The german accent is just a killer. As is the V8 sound!

AWESOME! I really hope that this new M3 is as good or better than the last. I like how the guy behind the wheel of the M3 gives the camera man the finger as he drives past! :alienflip:

[thepest]

^ Yeah, that was cool! :fist: - still rules ;)

[yg60m]

lol at the finger :lol: The sound seems to make honour to the BMW tradition !!

[5vz-fe]

haf ya zeen dis enauh!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Sounds great....

[r2r]

I have a bit o fhope for the new M3,

but somewhy I don't think the design will be up to the level!

[coloradosilver]

New figures put HP at 410 and torque at 305. I had hoped for more. Especially in the torque department.

Once again, people will pay for the BMW name, and will be payting way to much for what they're actually getting. The new 335i is a much better buy for what you get.

At low revs it sounds like an ford V8 with nice exhause IMO.....maybe Chevy....cant remember really..but i think ford. Either way its sounds spectacular.

Yeah........no matter how much I adore the M3.....it needs more than 410 hp. We will see........But then again the RS4 MSRP is 66K for a few more hp and nobody is complaining there..

[blinkmeat]

I'm excited :shock:

[dutchmasterflex]

probably kept the torque figures down to have a lighter transmission..

Looks a lot beefier than a regular 3 series.. the bulges on the front hood and wheel arches definitely improve the look of the new body style.

Sure the 335i is fast, but this will definitely be sportier and much more fun to throw around in the corners..

[rave426]

Its sad that the 335i petrol engine will creat more torque than the M version. Turbos or not.....that isnt very cool at all.

[DeMoN]

cool vid. And def cool sound!

[Shinigami]

With too much hp and torque, the car would probably dethrone an M5/6... BMW wouldn't want that. The higher end models are more expensive after all.

[gis]

sounds a nice car for sure,looks nice aswell,but only 305 ft/lb torque,i maybe wrong but didnt the previosu M3 have more than that,or if it was less,its not much less than 305 is it?

[thepest]

As much as we want this to happen, the M3 won't be faster than the M5/6. It's just not supposed to be.
Of course, this doen't mean that it's going to be slow. Hell NO!

However, the real monster we'll wear a three-letter badge! CSL

About the torque - the old m3 had 269.0 ft lbs. And if you thing 305 is not much, thing twice. BMW has never made engines with huge amounts of torgue, still we all know BMW engines' capability!

peace

[coombsie66]

The peak torque figure is pretty irrelavent, the distribution of this torque through the rev range is far more important and achieving a broad torque distribution through the engine opperating speed range is what BMW M engines have been very very good at.

Awesome! I once saw the new E90 3 series all decked out with camo-tape...when the driver saw I was checking it out, he dropped the hammer and left me to wallow in my slow Forester. :lol:

[twboy1999]

argh
if u are looking for a tourque car,, They are defitnly not M cars.. they are all high rev, and lower on tourque..

the e46M3 have around 276lb of tourque, if my memory server me correct

just be in right rpm range if u ever want to acceralte.. no biggie on the tourgue number

[ZfrkS62]

dammit..the video cuts out after the guy takes the picture :?

i think that's in Wickenburg, AZ. From what i understand, everyone took their proving grounds from Yuma, out there. Too many people knew about Yuma i guess :bah:
