Sounds to me like you won't be happy with any turbocharged engine at all, at least not in a factory performance car. If so then it looks like you're out of that market for the foreseeable future.



Well then I'm sure a tuned 335i will suit you fine. Just don't make the mistake of reading more about the next M when details are revealed, and reading reviews when people start bringing them home. And under no circumstances should you test drive one. Not that you'd even be tempted anyway. You're opinions are formed already, and that's close enough to fact to make an informed purchase decision today.
My next car won't be a BMW, as much as I loved my E92/E30 M3s
I think we've grown too much apart now
I am getting a car that has similar performance to the M3, maybe a little faster acceleration.
Significantly lighter (47% lighter to be exact)
Better fuel economy
No power steering vs electric ps in new m3
And probably I'd guess about $20K less
And more exclusive as well
