Survey: Would you still get an E46 M3 if... (archive)

..you found out the engine was 3.2L in displacement and put out 320hp instead of the 340-350hp 3.4L engine brought up in early rumors? Would it change things of it was also true that the European version did actually use a 3.4L engine, and the US version was simply a continuation of the Euro-spec E36 M3 engine?

My answer: Yes! Personally, I want at least 3.4L displacement. As much as I like the looks of the showcar, if it doesn't have the power, I'll look somewhere else.

No flames please (I'm currently on my 3rd BMW, already on the waiting list for the E46 M3, but I will be VERY disappointed if BMW goes with a 3.2L engine for the US).
