What up to all the MBWorld folks on this board! It's depressing how dead the AMG forums are these days. BMW has always had such a great enthusiast community.
And to the guys who asked why I need all the torque, it's not necessarily the I need it, it's just that I'm used to it now so there is going to be a noticeable difference in feeling at lower RPMs. |

Also, read the sticky thread on how to calculate torque for the M3 http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157633 |

Had a "discussion" with some numpty in a bar about performance cars. I was tooting the M3s horn and he about faster off the line cars. I said it was more than just laying a patch and a quick 0-60 time.
I was losing a battle talking to this cement head so I finally asked him what he thought was the best motorsports series on earth was. Immediately he replied "formula 1." I nodded and said "had you said NHRA I might have seen your point of view.... Thanks for winning the argument for me." Big Daddy Don Garlits, while ballz, couldn't get him out of that one.

I'm not talking about your z06. I'm simply stating that your post is some what misleading. The op needs to understand that the m3 has no issues passing cars. Torque is not an issue in the m3 as it gets up to speed in no time from almost any rpm and any speed. It's more of an issue in the 6spd manual m3 not with dct.

If the OP is considering to keep the car NA, he can always go to Dinan and put I believe the 3.62 diff that they offer. It makes a huge difference with the down low torque. I come from an 6sp M3 and I have the 4.10 diff and it is a tremendous improvement for day to day city driving. With DCT diff from Dinan it provides even better improvement from the lower RPMs and will always keep the car in the rev range where the power will be.
Before I put the stroker in my M3 this was the best improvement I have ever done to the car for day to day drivability. Of course you lose some of the top speed, but rarely do I get the chance to WOT the vehicle to those speeds daily. Just a suggestion OP. |

Also, 0-60 not measure of fast, it measure of quick. Top speed is measure of fast.

It's interesting how the OP asks what appears to be a simple question (that know one but himself can answer since it's VERY subjective), and the thread turns into a raging battle of how slow one of the top 1% of all production cars ever made is.
Get a life people!! To the OP... I think if you adjust your driving style for the differant drivetrain of the M3 you'll be fine. You just need to be a little pickier about what gear you're in. Last edited by MKE_M3; 05-30-2012 at 07:16 PM.. |
