"343 bhp in BMW M3 feels very 2001 compared to 420 bhp V8"

"This V8 pulls down the pants of the BMW straight six"

"Undiscussable an M3-killer but it's on gravel and snow it rules ...but in 18 months there's a new M3 ...V8, SMG, 100% rearwheeldrive ...See you then"

Yea it was so bitchen when it crushed the model of the M3 ( a car thats not even in production anymore)

I think it is getting a little old now for magazines, owners, and people just all around beating on the M3. Yeah the thing was fabulous and still is a classic but it seems that every mag, or owner likes to talk trash about the M3 and how they new car, which not to mention has come out about 3 years later than the M3 kills it! Well of course! What do you expect.

The new M3 will come out soon and we will see if it can live up to be a good succesor.

It is kind of lame, but what else would you compare it to? Journalists like to be able to say that something destroys another thing even if it's expected and not that special of a thing.

This imo is the very first car ever in it's class that is BETTER than the M3.

Very nice Audi. BMW has to work double time with the next M3 now because o this I am sure...

Tumbo · 12-13-2005, 07:00 AM

Yeah, comparing it to an M3 from 2001 all the time is pretty lame imo too. Have it run against the C55, or anything newer.

Michael · 12-13-2005, 09:09 AM

I understand that for many manufacturers it is a goal and in inspiration to challenge and beat the M3. Heck I wouldn't doubt that they have an M3 to test their cars against before they hit production.

Either way I want to say that I am a true lover of the RS4. No joke! I would, if I had the money, buy one right now over an M3 any day.

Sorry, but I dissagree, the 190 Evo II was another car that was better than the M3.
