www.bmwusa.com- Check it out- Twin turbo v6, 300hp/300lb ft torque. Looks pretty good too!

Not too shabby. It's a little big for my tastes, or at least it looks big in the pics. Single gt47 anyone??? emoji

I love my e46 but to be completely honest...the look of the e90 is growing on me. Twin turbo would be nice to have as well.

Thats what I'm thinking. My guess is those cars are running only 6-9psi on pretty small turbo's for emissions reasons. I'm sure these things could be a monster in the tuner world. My VR4 has 320HP stock w/ SUPER small turbos running 11psi stock and the 1st gen VR4 has 300HP on 9psi. My guess is the turbo's are larger but the boost is lower.

i guess they didnt want to undersell the m3...they made 333hp N/A, but if people could get a more powerful, less costly 3 series then the prestige of the m series cars would go down...on a side note, i saw a new m5 yesterday...i like the way they look..was nice.

I don't think that has anything to do with it. The new M3 is supposed to have a v8 based off the new m5 v10. It's also supposed to have around 400hp from what I hear.

Edit: 402hp V8 with either the new M5's 7-speed SMGIII transmission or a new 6-speed manual.

Screw the new M3. A twin turbo platform has to have more potential than the new V8.

I think the car looks great. I really like the looks of all the new BMWs. They look much better in person.

I think it would look even better if they dragged the front down a couple inches, I'll try to make a photoshop later of what I mean.

k I know this is kind of crooked, kind of really crooked but you'll get the point.

before



after



and stick a nice front mount behind that and you're golden
