2008 BMW M3 - Q&A
Is the E46 BMW 325i or ci really that underpowered?
I'm 17, looking for my first new car. Yes, I realized I'm very fortunate to potentially get a BMW as my first car, let alone a car to begin with. Fortunately, I went through some logical thinking in the past few months, and I've realized that even though it would be... Read More
- My boyfriend has a 2003 BMW 325Ci E46 Manual Transmission. Out of my personal experience driving it, I think it has enough power especially because BMW's are known for their Torque. Horsepower isnt everything. On another note I have a 2007 BMW 328Xi Coupe and it is... Read More
- I'll gladly trade you my 528e with 120hp...
- If you are set on one of these cars and will be going to school in the snow the xi is a great option. Also consider an Audi A4, also all wheel drive. I have a 2006 330ci and love it. Plenty of power! I generally don't even push the car that hard...driving that way... Read More
- Each of the cars you are looking at, or are thinking about, are up-to-date zippy cars. I am wondering if you have looked at the price of these fancy cars. Have you considered the cost of insurance for each of these cars? As a 17 year old in your first car, the... Read More
- No, that is fast. The VW GTI has 200HP. It is a sportscar. The BMW is not a sportscar. It is a compact sedan, which nearly has the same power as the GTI. It can go from 0-60 in less than 7 seconds, which is fast for for sedans with similar power. It is zippy and quick... Read More

Any one know why BMWs are so much more expensive here in Australia then in the USA. A new M3 cost about $150,000 here and $55,000 in the USA. $150,000 can buy you a M6 and M3 together in the USA.....

Why should I also consider these?
Though the BMW M3's reputation brings a legion of fans with it, the new 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may actually be faster, though like the Audi RS4, it comes only as a four-door sedan.
The Audi supersedan also offers standard all-wheel drive, but it's slower and its price tag is nearly $10,000 higher than that on the BMW M3 or the Benz C63.
Lexus's IS-F is a new entrant in this battle; its 416-hp V-8 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission give it a technical edge on the M3 and the others, but loyalty counts in this crowd.
