Hello Guys!

4.0 414hp/295lbft
vs
4.2 460hp/357lbft
Both with DCT

E92 M3 is like 200lbs lighter than the Cali. Overall, I think Cali is faster and it is more torquey than M3. I was thinking trade in my dd C63 chipped for a M3 but I already feel my Cali is slower than my C63. I think I am spoiled by my previous 997TT.

C63 6.2 451hp/443lbft heavy, crappy gearbox, handling is

pretty torquey
997 TT 3.6 480hp/460lbft lighter, AWD, fastest overall

So I guess if I really switch to a M3. I will not be satisfy with the acceleration correct? Don't get me wrong, I love M3

It's just I am spoiled by MHP C63 and my old 997 TT.
