have you guys seen these yet? I think I'm in love. I cant afford the M3 just yet but this thing with a twin turbo 6 and 300 horses is around 50 short of an m3 and almost 20k less money. They have one near my house that is dark gray with red interior. I priced one out online with the 6 speed auto with paddle shifters and it was around 37k. I will be getting one of these my friends by next summer.

good choice. Those things are really really good looking cars and I have always had a thing for BMWs. There is a new black M6 up the street from me. I have to drive by it every morning. Makes me wanna buy a lottery ticket and kinda cry a little...

Beamers are quite nice as long as they don't break. Then they're not so fun. Especially if it's out of waranty.

I know they arent as reliable as say my second choice (infiniti G35 coupe) but I'm thinking of just doing like a 2 year lease. by then I should be able to buy an m3

You do know that if you buy an M3, you are automatically mandated to join the International Association of Douchebags
I also couldn't believe that BMW is again offering a turbo car for the street. Not since the only other BMW street turbo car, the 2002 Turbo, has there been one.
I'm still not a fan of the Bangle design, but hey at least they didn't put their first street turbo engine into an disgusting-looking SUV like Honda did

Nice engine. I'd rather have that than the V8 in the M3, plus the car they put it in is more of a sleeper. I'm sure they will sell a bunch to more status-conscious Camry types who will drive barely over the speed limit in a clear passing lane refusing to move over for the cheap Jap car behind that couldn't possibly want to go faster than their Ultimate Driving Machine is going.

Freakin' woah! That thing defines clean. For a '90 nonetheless. Someone must have really taken good care of that car.

I've read the 335 has overheating problems.
Other than possible mechanical trouble I like what I've seen of it.

I stand corrected
. Never imported to the States though.
Gorgeous car, but not factory

That is so true...you should meet Laurel's current boyfriend...who owns an M3...and is the biggest cockjockey ever!
That said...one of my best buds owns a 535i, and is one of the coolest people on the planet...so maybe it's just the M models that breed the assholes?!?
