With what BMW did with the new M5, I'm almost certain the new M3 will be amazing. The outstanding question for me is reliability of the turbocharged engine. But the current M3 still ends its time as a benchmark. It's engine is lighter and more efficient than that of the E46 M3. Do people still want the old M cars? Hell yes. These cars are special... the E9X is the pinnacle of 25 years of naturally aspirated M3 engines. We'll enjoy the present in our class leading M3s and '12 C63s (it's a tie for me), incredible machines that not many people have the chance to enjoy, while we look forward to the future...

The '04? Not so much. Objectively speaking, a better car, but just not as much fun to drive due to size and weight. And that stupid raspy exhaust. |

The M3 is BMW's bread and butter and I'm sure they won't mess it up. My 335i was nothing but a pain in my ass, which is why I upgraded to the M3. I vowed to never again own a BMW FI engine. I sit here though and think, The M3 is what BMW does. It's been THE car that defines them. There is no way they are going to screw the car up and I'm sure they won't. Every car manufacturer is going the FI route to improve gas mileage. There really isn't any other choice. There are very strict emissions laws coming into effect. BMW's whole fleet is boosted currently and you can't really blame them. I don't think anyone wants to be fined thousands of collars per car because it chugs gas. I agree though, you really can't go wrong with either the M3 or a C63 AMG. We are very fortunate to even own one of the two cars mentioned. |

I'm pretty sure no one knows what the next gen C63 will have in it. It's all speculation at this point. I read somewhere that regardless of engine it'll still be called a C63.

I think what the m3 has going for it is it's handling.
Other than that... Damn the c63 is awesome. I'm actually looking at some c63 next weekend. It is not as sporty as the m3 but it has a nice motor and sound which is important to me. I don't track my m3 do I'll never experience it's true potential anyway. For a driver like myself, c63 is perfect. The only thing is that I find the c63 to not hold its value as well as the m3. Isn't this beautiful?:
