Hey guys
I try to translate a quote from chef-designer Adrian van Hooykonk of BMW, words he said in a interview with "auto-motor und Sport" (German Magazine). They talk about the lines of the coupe 335i.
He says about the lines of the car:" it (the car) should not promise, what it cannot hold: for examle looking like a racecar. Finally we still bring out a M3 and a Racecar on the basis of the 3-row."
My interpretation: they dont consider it as a racecar, although it has 0-60 5.5 secs. But they consider the m3 as a racecar. this means to me, the m3 will be a whole lot faster than the 335i. i would predict 4.5 sec for the normal m3 and 4.2-4.3 sec for the m3 csl.
Plus, this generation will have to remain for 6-7 years ( I think thats about the pace they got for a new row). Today there are so many brands making fast cars. i think in 3-4 years you wont impress anybody by a 5 sec car. So they will make the car fast enough to endure their image as sportscars, also in the upper regions.
What you guys think to that?
Cheers
