Me and my buddy were talking about that gorgeous piece of machinery and my other friend, who is a complete car IDIOT chimes in and says: "Twin turbo 3.0 V6? That's gotta be good for four or five hundred horsepower! How is the M3 gonna beat it?"
We were just dumbfounded.
And unfortunately the kid drives a BMW with an I-6!!! I bet he didn't even know it was an inline.
It's ok, he drives a '95 328i coupe that is so ****ty, his younger brother drools over my ti CONSTANTLY.

The twin turbo more then makes up for the honda body. I now would literally kill for that car. __________________

It would be cooler if they made a better version of the TT I6 for the M3 instead of the V8. Im telling my dad to forget about the cayman and save for a 335 TT. __________________

The M3 will have a v-8 varaint of the M5 v-10 engine. It will be in the 400+ range. I have seen 400-425 hp. I think the 335 had around 300, but I may be wrong.
As for saving for the cayman. I would say that is difference in what he wants. More luxury car or sports coupe/hatch. Either way all I have to say is I would go for the Z4M coupe. | | | | | 04-28-2006, 11:35 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 |

The cayman is a porsche and its sweet but the 330ci can be used as a daily driver. I hated the body style of the new 3 coupe (and still kinda do) but the 3.5 tt sounds awsome. I personally think that they need to keep the 3 series true to the original and keep it a square-er performance car and develope a new series for their luxury car. I cant really see the E90 fitting in with the other 3s. __________________
