In Reply to: e46m3 vs m5, 0-60 market issues (m) posted by rca on December 30, 1999 at 22:45:41:
: Motor Trend has the m5 at 4.7 for 0-60 and the car listed for $71,000.
: .3seconds is considered (by Road and Track) as a signficant difference in 0-60 sprints.
: Even if the new m3 was technically capable of going 5.0 or less, how could BMW possibly put it on the market tuned to go that fast given a 45-50K price tag?
: Consumers would read the numbers as the m3 and m5 being statistically equal performers, at least as far as the 0-60 sprint.
: My opinion, e46m3 will be tuned to go at least .3 to .4 slower than the m5. So I will be very happy with a 5.0 or 5.1 reading.
: If anyone sees the marketing issue differently, please advise.
: rca 328i automatic (7.2 sec)
: steel blue
I was speaking before Christmas with a friend of mine that hold a very high position at BMW M
Division in Germany,he told me that there is still a possibility that they will come out with a 8cyl
version of the new M3 after a while.
