Re: New BMW M3- V8 (56k no no)
In NA apps torque is largely a function of displacement, so ~300ft/lbs isnt bad at all for a 4.0

Re: New BMW M3- V8 (56k no no)
Yea, lower torque due to smaller V8, high revs though. I want to hear this thing, it has to sound insane.

Re: New BMW M3- V8 (56k no no)
Not a fan. The body looks a bit chunky IMO and I am a fan of inline 6's so going to a V8 kinda killed it for me.

The body looks chunky? Apparently you haven't seen an Evo8/9.

Re: New BMW M3- V8 (56k no no)
Yea I like the new body, its so smooth. I dont like the current 3 and 5 series bodies as much but they did well on the new M3, imo.

Re: New BMW M3- V8 (56k no no)
Dudes, wake up and smell the crack pipe!!! The old six was 330hp/262 lb/ft, the new engine bitch slaps you with 420hp/295 lb/ft. It will the best M3 ever.

Re: New BMW M3- V8 (56k no no)
LOL probably make alot more than that, the stock exhaust seems pretty restrictive, and it has quite a few curves in it. The headers look awesome though.
It will be interesting once aftermarket and Dinan throws a SC on it.  |

With headers like that I seriously doubt they choked it in the catback. Looks like decently straight true dual exhaust with decent diameter. |

Re: New BMW M3- V8 (56k no no)
Thats true, for stock it does look pretty nice, but if you remove the 2 cats, and 4 resonators im sure it would make things flow alot better.
