F80 M3

~425whp/wtq in a ~3,500lb car isn't anything to laugh at.

I'm pretty sure Terry @ BMS is already toying with one. They're awesome cars.

With e30 prices these days im sure your cars has gotta be around $60k easy. Straight trade sounds reasonable.

50/50 weight distribution is awesome, interested to see how it will compare to the 3461lb 328i auto sedan. Basically the same weight as the 335i (3594lbs) but the 335i is front end heavy. Dont know when ill be able to drive one myself though

I'm a M guy through and through also, I was not happy about them going to a turbocharged engine, but after seeing them perform at Road America a couple weeks ago and seeing these dyno numbers I'm all about this car now, I can't wait to see these cars on some apex wheels and conti slicks at track days

Such an incredible looking car, but it will take me a LONG time to get over the turbos.

Wouldn't it be nice if they could ignore the competition, the power wars, the tree huggers, and have just stuck in a jumped up version of the last M3 V8? 

445 bhp, 8500 Redline, etc..

I just cant stop thinking about how you could take a base model 335i, get a tune, exhaust, intake, and probably be very near the M3's power output for significantly less money than the M3. No, it's still not an M car, but with BMW's marketing strategy nowadays you could add M cupholders from the catalog and get that fancy M badge slapped on the back straight from the dealer...

John and I walked around in Concourse BMW the other day and couldn't get over the size of the rotors on the M5 and M6. I don't think I would want to own any newer BMW besides a 1 series, but I sure as hell would want to drive them all=)
