There will be NO v8 M3 next year. The 3 Series (and upcoming 4) isn't schedule for a complete redesign until the 2006 Model Year. Which means at the very earliest you'll see the new model is late next year, maybe summer.

The M3 won't debut for at least another year. So you are looking at 2007 MY or maybe even 2008 MY. Given that they might have to design a new M motor for the car, I would look at a latter date rather than a earlier one. (Although they might just shoehorn the M5's old 400bhp engine into there.)

As far as the C55 is concern, stick with a gearbox that you could shift yourself.

get the C32, it has better power to weight ratio. and you can find one for a steal these days.

well the thing i like about the new c55 is the nose change that they made to accomidate the 5.5.

as far as the c32 is concerned, mb didnt put anything in the advertising of the car, what ever it sold was due to rep... it has more power than the m3 and also more weight btu its still faster also has four doers and a auto trans which ultimatly isnt what the age group has ever looked for. the smg is still more fun than the mb trans.

where i live i have 6 friends with m3s and i mean mean ass m3s, 2 with ac packages, i with hre and a blower... i mean theyre crazy... so for me to get one and keep it stock as an everyday thing would be a waist of an awsome car

I don't know your background. But I doubt that most drivers could deliver the full potential of a 333hp M3 on the track.

not that i can deliver the power on the track or not but to only drive it on the freeways of southern cali is a waist, again.

ps... i went to the local mb dealer and test drove the clk55 which they were saying was the c55 would be extremely close to the clk55. any one here own one? pros/cons?
