Straight line doesnt mean anything at all. Some 335i guys always claim that their cars are faster then m3, see what happens on the track. Limp mode after some laps. Im not hater of 335i, i also own one but just dont compare 335i and m3 all the time. If some of the 335i owner always think that your car is faster and nicer then m3, why are you staring at m3 every time you see on the street. Why are you comparing a modded turbo car to a NA car? Just a chip 335i can gain 30% or more HP but not on an M3. How can you compare a FI car to NA car

A miata with a pro driver on a tight course is prettry quick. Just the 1000 lb plus weight break is huge.

Like I said, if YOU can't drive your car to its limits, then it doesn't really matter if car and driver says you're faster...

I would venture to say that there are few if any in this forum who have the driving skills to smoke a pro in a Miata in their M3. CA

[QUOTE=-=Hot|Ice=-;9953545]Fanboi detected. I've stated that I love the M3 already, but unlike you I'm not afraid to embrace another brand and I'm also not afraid to voice that BMW's gone cheap...because they have. I bash what deserves bashing. I'm not taking anything away from how well rounded the car is, but BMW had the resources and could of done better but knew all they had to do was slap a M badge on it and it would sell like hotcakes. Why waste money on making something 'perfect' when 'good' will suffice?
Call me what you want. I just find it ignorant to go and spend $70K on a car that i basically don't like If you feel this bad about an M3 AND are still buying one, what do you feel about the other cars in it's class?? Read GTHAL's posts, he hits it on the head.....ofcourse ALL cars could be "improved" in OUR eyes in SOME ways. But it's been proven time and time again, that the M3 is in the lead in it's class. Hence, it's always the "target" other manufacturers shoot for. |

On an actual track, advantage goes to the m for balance unless 335 has serious suspension modifications and is properly dialed in. Anyways, you won't be mopping the floors with anybody given your "mod" list. |

Every Miata I have come across on the track is a BEAST! LSD, Forced Induction, stripped of weight... I have NEVER seen a stock Miata on the track. These things are very fun track beasts.

You're right...but I know a couple of M3 drivers on this forum who can hold their own against a miata on course.

I had a 335 before my M3. The ride, the sound, and the feel are worth the price difference alone. The fact that it starts out as fast as a well modded 335 on a good day is just icing on the cake. Besides... I would hope anyone buying an M3 would be able to afford a $7-9k upgrade to get their M3 to 500-600hp or more if they wanted it. If cost is an issue in sticking to a non-M e9x, you'll likely feel the 2-3k in boost mods to get to the youtube 'M3 killer' more than the average M3 owner would a supercharger purchase. |
