The 335i with a chip will run all over the m3.

But anyways, nice move the the 370. Im looking to do the same. The 370 has the right price tag for performance.

I was looking a tts pretty hard,, but Im finding it hard to believe that im looking at a $47-$53k car. I just dont see the value in it.

Until you actually drive one you have no idea. The only place a chipped 335 is going to run all over a M3 is on the drag strip. There is a cost for refinement and a 4.0 liter 8400rpm engine.

how do the cars compare? As much as i love the z, there must be things about the M3 you miss... M3 is a legendary car...

I try not to think about the things I miss. No point in that. I will say that the car was super refined. Smooth power delivery, zero vibration, amazing chassis, super stable, and it stuck like glue.

I will say that I'm really liking the affordability of mods for the Z though. I mean I can pick up a complete blower kit for 5-6K. It was easy to spend more than that on a exhaust for the ///M. The ///M Tax was crazy,

He didn't walk away? I'm not trying to be rude, but you might have been the
only one racing and didn't know it. I've seen the e92 6 speed destroy a CSL M3 (360HP 3055curb weight) & 997s 355hp. 135i, 335i, e46 M given equal drivers, the Z should win. From a dig anything can happen but from a highway
roll those things are damn fast.

Well, I've had several encounters with the new M and straight-line acceleration is no contest. I also found out the manual weighs 3,571 which is lighter than I thought.

Love the M3 (and M5, and M6) - would prefer a "swoopier" bodywork, but I guess you get that with the M6.

E46 baby :)
E92 is awesome though!!
