Good feature in this months BMW car mag.
£1410 gets you another 25 BHP.

Noticed this bit of kit too, looks good if you did'nt spec the bluetooth option:

Not to be pedantic or anything, but 420HP = 414BHP (Metric vs Imperial)

Yeah,but,no,but...................oh *uck it!

It's only 6 shire horses in metric and 3 + 2 hind legs in imperial difference,innit!

[G33]

im still surprised how the outgoing rs4, which has been out for a while has got more power (all 6bhp of it). maybe they really need a large margin of power difference between the M3 and the forthcoming M3 CSL cos at the price banding the M3 is now a CSL will be a good +75/80k surely!? i sure as hell wouldnt want to pay that much for an M3, in fact any beemer...

mind u, the new m3 is quicker than an rs4 so it doesnt need the extra horses :P

The outgoing RS4 has 414bhp (420 hp) which is exactly the same as the new M3.

It's quite easy to get lost in all the metric vs. imperial measurements..

[dxb335d]

and you have to remember, once rolling in a straightline the m3 will pull away from the rs4 several car lengths. We all know why..

I think Squeeze you have no choice in the matter. As the only E92 M3 driver on here from the UK it's your duty!
