In Reply to: Survey: Would you still get an E46 M3 if... posted by Mark G on October 01, 1999 at 00:15:03:
What I hate is that we are we always behind the EURO version. I think we should get the most for our money. Yeah 20 or 30 HP may not seem like a lot but every little bit helps. BTW 20 or 30HP extra is not pocket change. You can do a lot with that.
: ..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).
