I own and like the e92, but I don't love it. one reason is that I don't like the engine mated to this car, the car is too heavy and the car isn't fast enough for me. I prefer more power to match up with the handling and feel of the M3, and that is IN MY OPINION what lacks in the e92. now the new f80 combines that power with everything else that makes an m3 great, and I love it. I don't care about the v8 sound really, I have heard plenty of good sounding turbo motors. Personally, the s55 is exactly what I am looking for, and combined with the better looks on the sedan, more power (much more), more fuel efficiency, much nicer interior I am sold and will own one. That's my opinion. And I own an m3, and cant wait to own the new one. The s65 and e92 m3 isn't the end all be all to everyone.

You assume that all M3 buyers are on the internet discussing/venting their ideas/opinions about the car. Actually, only a small percentage of M3 owners/buyers are one forums, so their voice is not representative for the way BMW should design future M3s if BMW wants to satisfy their existing customer base. That being said, it doesn't mean they can't make good points. |

there are many many many cars with turbo engines that are exotics and have fantastic performance which is what I am after and appreciate on the track and on the street. 1) F40 2) GTR 3) Porsche turbo 4) Porsche GT2 5) McLaren MP4-C to name a few. And your 1 in 20 reference to who prefers the new m3 is not realistic and supported by no data. Again, I appreciate your opinion, but don't agree with it. The s55 and new tech in the m3 will give it the performance in a straight line that it needed to match the rest of the cars attributes. Not to mention the new improved stock brakes and weight loss.

To give you just a bit of a break, your 'ownership' statement holds merit when we're discussing topics that only an owner would have a valid perspective about: livability, car quirks/problems, oil consumption, gas consumption, etc. Those are topics that really require first-hand experience, so ownership is a valid pre-requisite to offering an opinion (..at least in my mind). You're a newer member here, and based on your 'logic' that would suggest that you are also a newer M3 owner as well (..probably just got on the bandwagon in the last couple of years).....because, gasp! ...you wouldn't dare join this forum and discuss M3's unless you were an owner or intending on purchasing the car. The manner in which you rant and romanticize the M3 also makes it quite obvious as well, and you have simultaneously made it easy to discern that your opinion is worth about as much as a buffalo's shit on a nickel (..and that you can't be taken seriously). One minute you're quoted as saying that the BMW ///M cars aren't exotic - but a Maserati is - and that they're "just another BMW"......"just glorified versions of the standard car" (...and in the context of that post you made in your 'Monthly lease' thread, you were suggesting that the M cars aren't really all that), yet you come here and fire breathe and preach on your own pulpit to those who suggest more or less the same thing!???! Which is it? Remain consistent or be quiet. Last edited by Sedan_Clan; 12-19-2013 at 10:35 AM.. |

Hopefully we'll get update pics of the rear seating view instead of a coupe view.

Wow the F80 looks so muscular and I like the more angular appearance compared to the E90.
The E90 interior is so bland.. |

If this car is based on the F32, I dont see how it ll make the E92 look dated.
I've seen the F32 in real life and it wasnt impressive. |

What has this thread become? LOL. Why are people posting Ferrari engines and getting mad at each other?

I didn't get rid of my car(s) because I didn't like BMW's direction. In my 12-ish years of BMW ownership, I've never had a problem with the direction BMW has taken (..the overuse of the ///M badge aside). I traded/sold my cars simply out of boredom and an admittedly fickle behavior towards cars; I'm on my 10th BMW in 12 years, and half were ///M3's. People like the new car because it's angular, muscular, provides more performance than the outgoing car and is something new. An enthusiast doesn't have to dislike the previous car to praise the new car. The MAJORITY of the people who will buy an ///M car are not on this forum; the forum community, while large, is very small. Stop trying to speak for everybody. The people who truly dislike the V8 are a small, but vocal bunch, and that's their prerogative. |

I do not own an M3. I like the E9x M3. I love V8s. I love the new M3. I prefer a V8 to a 6-cylinder but I also like more power. I'll be buying the new M3/4 and not the old one unless I move to Porsche. Why would I be buying the new M3 if I prefer V8s? Based on every new M being better than the previous generation and the spec of the new one, the new one will be better in every measurable objective way. There's no denying that I would have preferred the engine being a V8 due to the engine sound but the engine sound alone is not what I yearn for. A car has to play its part, and the M3 is meant to be a practical sport car, which means that it must feel, drive, look, move and sound like one. The new one is designed by the same people that designed the E9X and now has more power, less weight, improved materials, improved electronics, and improved acceleration; it is bound to be better. Also, some people are erroneously concluding that because the new M3 has more in common with the base 3 series than the E9X that that means the E9x is more special. Not necessarily true. Could it be that the base 3 series improved so much over the prior model that only incremental changes are needed for the new M3? I would love to think that BMW, with two generations of engine data, has learnt enough to make the 3.0 turbo bulletproof. |
