Production 2009 M3 Revealed

[Erik]

"In keeping with BMW's high-revving "M" tradition, maximum engine speed is 8,300 rpm. The engine is the lightest V8 in the world, weighing less than the previous M3's inline-six"

This was the two winning points for me. Even though some of you don't like that.

Thrash I understand that the M3s have always had great motors. I've just always thought they should have a V8, personal opinion, nothing more. Although the last inline 6 they had in there got me all excited when I thought about it. Did I just type that?

Mmmm high reving V8, delicious.

Edit: I can totally see what you are saying about losing their heritage. I think the STi limited is for pussies and granpas. It should've been lighter and more powerful, not just "toned down" in looks and heavy. I guess that's why the aftermarket exists so we can make the cars into what we think they should be.

I understand your point thrash and it makes sense. All I am saying is that for around town stoplight to stoplight having the power down low is a helluva lot more fun and thats what I like about my car.

The front-end somewhat reminded me of the z4 and the back looks like some sort of Mercedes. The body is more stylish then the previous models. But the engine was what made me fell in love with this car. You guys may thinks it looks butt ugly now but when you see it out of the picture, maybe have a different opinion. If you're interested in luxary, style, lots of power, high reving. Then this is it.

Like I said on TCStangs, it'd make a nice winter beater.
