: : it would be somewhat disappointing to see just a slightly bored out 3.2 in the new M3 rather than a new 3.4L. Saw your post on the E36M3 digest as well...there you mentioned Tom thought the HP would come in at 330 which is a little less than what has been reported by the mags and dealers.
: : Thanks for the report anyway. Well, let's see what Geneva brings...

: maybe this news is something that will provide price control. Maybe less excuse to jack up price with 3.25liter. Every week someone seems to estimate higher, now prices is guessed to be 55k out the door! (At this rate of inflation M3 will soon cost more than m5!...just kidding, I hope) Also, 3.25 engine may be less vulnerable to first year roll out unpredicabilities. Trying to see upside of news.
That is about the only upside though. Basically if the base gets increase to roughly 45k, we end up paying an additional 7k over the E36 for the Euro motor. That may be OK for some people but I am still in the mental mode of comparing the price increase to cost of SC my 99.
But as far as 3.2 vs 3.25...hell, if that is the case then why do they even bother.
