Why is that we never see M owners '"gosh, I wish I had bought that M-watered down performance car instead of my real M" ?

They are great cars, but it's clearly envy speaking when they post about their "kills". Every bro with an E90 335i back in the day was bragging about how their car "kills" the E46 M3, but they fail to see the point. The E46 M3 was a more fun car to drive and has more feel and feedback, period.

Drag races are also a pretty standard measure of performance along with 0-60 times and quarter miles. You cant talk about performance heritage and real sports cars and ignore actual performance. This threat is hilarious. |

What about braking distance? Lateral G's? Lap times? BTW a Dodge Demon is faster in the 1/4 than a McLaren P1. I'm pretty sure the P1 is overall the superior performance car for what I would want in a sports car-more than just going in a straight line.

And I'd take a E46 over an E90 335i any day. What do you think will be said for the M340i and the F80 in 10 years?

The F80 M wasn't even a good car. Didn't get the best reviews due to the engine and the famous driving feel.
So I doubt it will be looked on too fondly. |

Maybe true of the vanilla M3 when it was first launched, but you need to consider the difference the competition pack made and as with the E92, the comp cars are the most desirable.

I regretted so much the purchase of the 335i, numb and falling on its face after 5k rpm. And to these days, which is the more desirable car between E92 335 and E46 M3? The real thing, surely.

Somehow it gets whipped by a last generation 2 series with a detuned S55 engine and no AWD. Whew, glad we sorted out what actual performance is. BTW - the F8x M3/M4 will still trap higher in the quarter mile. Last edited by chris719; 05-04-2020 at 09:45 AM.. |

The car should aim to beat a Mercedes C43 in handling and sportiness before you start talking about actual M cars. I understand your identity is tied up in the drag race superiority of your car, but it's OK to be objective about exactly where it lies in the performance spectrum. |

If the VIN does not start with WBS it's not an actual M car, period. Everyone who has been here for more than 20 minutes knows these are the spiritual successors to the "is" models like 335is, despite what BMW marketing wants you to believe now. |

It's not an M car. Its an M perforance car. BMW are quite clear about their range and the only people arguing its not an M car are M car fans. It is faster than an M car though which is sticking in the craw of some.

Faster at what? Depreciating? Be specific.
