Saw and sat in the new M3 today at my dealer. All I can say is WOW.
I was really skeptical of this car before I saw it, leaning toward the C63 AMG. Saw an Alpine White Coupe today in person for the first time. Simply stunning. Pretty much fully loaded, carbon fiber roof, black leather interior, technology package, etc. The sound of that V8 is unbelieveable, especially when being revved. I mean what else can you say, it sounds like a race car. Couldn't drive it, but sat in it and the seats felt very supportive, especially in the shoulder area. The Novillo leather is great. Definitely a smoother, softer feel than the Dakota. The carbon leather trim looks great with the black leather, and you combine those two with the dark headliner and the cockpit just feels right.
It was a weird feeling after following this car for so long from seeing the spy shots to sitting in the driver's seat. Car is a beast. |

But your Dinan 335i is probably faster with way more TQ. The new M3's V8 sound isn't everything. When you get a chance, take the E90/E92 M3 for a test drive, and you'll probably realize you want to either keep your Dinan 335i or go for the E63 after all.

I completely agree with you. I wouldn't give up my 335i right now for the M3. I am just looking at the M3 for down the road potentially. I guess I should just be content with what I have, but hey if you like cars, can't hurt to look around right? Like you said, won't really know what it is like until a test drive.

p.s. TQ means piss. My trailblazer has 320 lbs of TQ and I can't get the damn thing to hit 60 in less than 8 seconds!!!! The M3 and 335i are not in the same league, looks and performance. Accept it and move on.

Tell me whats so great about the M3 that i cant even compare it to a low class 3 series? The handling? Sure its definitely better then a regular 3 series, but its nothing to worship over. There are plenty of cars out there that handle way better then an m3 but you dont see them putting there own cars on a petistle . The power? The m3's high revving v8 is nice but its still no match for its competitor c63. The m3 does a lot of things better then a regular 335 but at the end of the day, ITS STILL A 3 SERIES. Get off your dam high horse about the M badge because all it is is a badge. Last edited by LOLrance; 03-08-2008 at 03:29 AM.. |

who cares if you can make a 335 faster/cooler/look cooler/sound cooler.... actually wait, no./have more torque/ etc etc; they are both VERY different cars in the end. theres always gonna be something out there thats way cheaper then your car and faster....
i rather drive an F430 then a 9 second honda CRX or a M5 over a 10 second evo |

haha no its not directed towards you. i edited my post. I just hate people that talk as if there is no car better then an M. There are soo many more open minded people on m3forum then lets say here. They know what there car is and what it isin't and dont feel like they have to justify it to anyone else.

Nice insult. Nothing to add to the subject, I guess.
Best regards, south
