Q: Has anyone seen the new BMW M3?
This thing is bad! It has all these amazing features one of which is computerized custom driving settings. Press a button and you go from street car to racer!!! It is amazing! The best setting is the one that locks the rear axel in a turn, causing a fish tail, therefore helping to control the understeer/oversteer issue that such high-powered cars carry. Just wondering if anyone else knows about this beast-of-a-Beamer…because IT’S AWESOME!

A: yep. i’ve driven the coupe. (e92)

but personally i would buy the 4 door. (e90 FTW!)

in alpine white of course. :D

and the coupe M3 is faster than the RS4 by the way.

Q: Hey, should i buy the new bmw m3 v8 or a second hand Aston Martin Vantage V8?

A: BUY THE BMW………

Q: Is it affordable for a 25+ man earning 45k per year to own a brand new BMW M3 or Camaro SS? (Canada)?
(btw with no family of his own to take care)

A: A new M3 is around $75,000. After putting $15,000 down (around 20%), your monthly payment would be around $900 per month for 6 years.

A new Camaro SS is less than $35,000. After putting $5,000 down, your monthly payment would be around $500 per month for 5 years.

If the question is only between these two cars, then I’d suggest getting the Camaro.

However, if you really like Bimmers, consider getting a used BMW 335i instead of the M3. The 335i has almost all of the great stuff as the M3, except for the V8 engine.

Buying any car in the $60K-$80K price range may have to wait until your income grows.

Q: could i order a brand new bmw m3 e30?
like this guy?

http://www.motoring.co.za/index.php?from=rss_Motoring&fArticleId=5566025

well, ok, not exactly like this guy (he got a BMW 3.0 CSi) but the idea would be the same…

i guess many out there would just love the opportunity to buy a brand new classic bmw like myself…

A: no, you can’t. try actually reading the article next time. it was just a restoration, it is not brand new, it’s still almost 40 years old. that guy bought an old 3.0 and had BMW restore it professionally. it’s not brand new, it’s just rebuilt.

in all actuality, it would cost twice as much for BMW to restore and E30 M3 than just finding one in good shape.

Q: Why can the new BMW m3 rev so high?
It can rev to like 8400rpm with a v8 engine. WOW!!

A: Its built for it. It uses light weight components, built with very tight tolerances and balancing, and has a short stroke. The light weight parts and tolerances/balancing are the reason the engine costs so much too.

Q: Nearly new BMW M3 E46 anywhere?
In my opinion, the E46 was the best M3 ever so far.. I can’t afford to buy one now or any time soon but I want to get on in 3-4 years.. Do you think it will be possible for me to find a near-new one in the future?? (Less than 10,000 miles.. lower the better)

If so, where should I find one at? I coulnd’t find any on search engines..

Thanks guys

A: To find a secondhand BMW in the best possible condition check the BMW Club’s classifieds. Both the national site at www.bmwcca.org and the site for your local chapter (there are links on the national site to the local chapters).

Those cars are typically enthusiast-maintained in great condition, and priced accordingly. It’ll be your best bet to either find a garage queen, which you want, or a lovingly pampered car with higher miles, which would still be a great car.

Q: is the mercedes cl55 amg faster than the new bmw m3?

A: get the amg black series

Q: When is the New BMW M3 comming out?

A: The official US launch date for the 2008 M3 sedan and coupe is March 8, 2008. Both models started production in December 2007.

The M3 convertible launch date is May 24, 2008.

The first shipment of M3s has already arrived in the Port at New Jersey. Unfortunately many of them were damaged in a shipping accident. This is going to delay some orders as well as the demo fleet.

Q: which oen do you like better the new bmw m3 or bmw 650i?

A: the new E92 M3 is an astounding car in every imaginable way, I honestly dont have words for that car, on the other hand the 650i is a good car aswell but that is more of a status car like the Mercedes Benz Cl, the Bentley Continental GT and the Aston Martin DB9, so it really comes down to your personal choices, what you want a car for and how are you going to be using it, both cars are good daily driver, the BMW M3 would do a tiny bit better on the Fuel economy, both cars are close in a straight line (the M3 will hit 60 mph in about 4.6 seconds where as the 650i in about 4.8 – 5 seconds and both are electronically limited at 155 mph) but on a track the M3 has the advantage over the 650i as the M3 is lighter, the weight distribution is nearly 50/50 which means the car is very well balanced where as the 650i is a huge car and it weigh’s nearly 1800 kilograms thats nearly 250 kilograms more then the M3, when it comes to looks both looks equally eye catching and stunning ohh and lastly the M3 sounds better then the 650i aswell.

hope this helps.

Q: Which one is better the new bmw m3 or bmw 650i?

A: Hands down the e92 m3 will beat the 650i in anything. its no competition, the 650i was not built to be a performance car as the m3 is. the new m3 is equipped with DCT transmission for the automatic. This transmission shifts faster than anyone possibly can. Basically it has two clutches, and has one gear ready to shift on one clutch and another on the other clutch so its always ready to shift. im not sure about the 650i but im pretty sure it doesnt. (dct is automatic transmission)
the new m3 will be lighter and will definitely handle better.
new m3 has a carbon fiber roof, while the 650i does not however the m6 does. Performance wise the m3 is a better car in ever aspect.
if youre looking for comfort or status the 650i will get the job done better, the 6series just looks very exclusive.
if it were up to me, id get the new m3, mostly cause im only 18. if i were 30+ id get the 650i cause it would seem to be a better bang for the buck.
if you really think about it, its absurd, the new m3 coupe is starting at 57k with options itll probably be close to 70k, the sedan is a little bit cheaper. Why would you pay 65-70k for a 3series?
however there will be a premium on the new m3 when it comes out, a lot of people will be looking for that car, however in a couple years, it will turn out to be a car that rich spoiled kids get as their first cars and the 6series will still be a car that is looked upon as someone that is successful.
buy your kids the m3 and you drive the 650i, youll look like a baller for sure.

Q: brand new BMW M3 vs M5? ?
brand new 2008 M3 Coupe vs 2008 M5… which one would u prefer to get?

A: M5! its bigger so its more practical…tons of power! 500HP and you can go from 400 to 500 hp with a button! the m mode (with m button on steering wheel) is like a sport mode but i can make the car turn hard core..just press it to pass someone on the highway

the m5 has the same power and performance as a ferrari f430 but it costs half the price

the m3 is common…i’ve seen alot already..

get the m5…u will absolutely LOVE IT

Q: bmw m3 needs new engine wiring loom and ecu have a 2nd hand 1 wen fited will it work or need programing?
engine loom caught fire so when i fit everything will the car run or will the ecu have to be reprogramed even tho its from the same make and model bmw e36 m3

A: This is a tricky question. The 2nd hand wire loom and ECU from the same model is obviously going to wire in the same. It is questionable whether the ECU will perform correctly when all entities have been connected however.

Even though it came from the same type of vehicle it carries some very specific data about the vehicle it was in. It’s hard to give an accurate answer without knowing the year of the vehicle but chances are high that it will fail without being programmed or “reset” by a BMW tech.

Many of the newer ECU modules in a BMW are embedded with a physical hardware address (much like a MAC address on a personal computer), this address much match up with other components in the vehicle or the ECU will refuse to work.

In this situation I would go ahead and replace the entire loom and install the new ECU. Once it is completely installed give in to the urge to start it and see what happens…you might get lucky. If you notice any strange behavior it will have to be serviced by a BMW tech. BMW’s were never intended to be worked on by non-certified techs….they’re now actually engineered to prevent this!

Hope this helps!

Q: Which color is best suited for 2008 BMW M3?
I am trying to order a brand new BMW M3. However, I can’t decide which color I should get. Please tell me your opinion.
1. Alpine White body with Red Leather Seat
2. Interlagos Blue body with Red Leather Seat
3. Metallic Black body with Red Leather Seat
4. Red body with Black leather seat

any suggestion?

A: I love the Interlagos Blue, but dont know how it would look with red. I would go with Interlagos Blue, and Black leather seats. Also, Red with Red leather seats would look awsome.

From your list, I would go with Black body with Red Leather Seats or the Red body with Black leather seats. (These two combo’s look sportier)

For a sophisticated look, go with the Apline White/Red Leather

Q: Poll: BMW M3 2001-2006 or the new BMW 335 2007-current?

Q: Buying a New BMW M3 (e92) from Saudi Arabia…Good Idea?
If been getting that chain mail lately ( “Kha’looha tes’adi”), all of those cars that werent purchased, over 4000 from BMW only I think. Is it a good time to buy now (Have the prices dropped dramastically yet? lower than it was bought for from the dealer?)?

Do you think the Dealerships will eventually have to dump them by selling them for extremely cheap (compared to the US and Canada)?

Thanks!
@ Alnawwar: Yeah its such a nice car, but Im going for the coupe :D Yes, Im a bad boy :D jks I like the coupe better. Dont have any kids yet so what the hay!

and what do you mean by “the heat will get the best of it” doesnt sound good :s can you elaborate on that?

A: as the people before me explained ,, the prices didn’t drop .

the M3 is a nice car ( good allrounder ) but you have to remember that you are in Saudi ,,, the heat will get the best of the car :(

i advise you to look up other options that would at least keep up with the heat we’re having ( eg. all lexus models + infinity ..etc )

update:

it means that the car would have some problems with it’s temprature ( especially if u gonna hammer it down alot )
a bmw is not a car that you want to own for more then a year in Saudi :(
