: : I love the upcoming M3 but lately have been completely captivated by the new HARTGE 3-series with the M5 engine transplanted in it. It should have very similar performance to the M3, maybe faster, although not as high a rever. What I really like is its ability to deceive. It looks like a plain 3-coupe that got riced-up (excuse the expression). No one could guess it has over 400HP ready to go to those meaty 19" rear tires!
: : Its priced at 200,000DM...that's quite a lot. Anyone know of the procedures of purchasing cars from foreign tuners? I'm really considering this one, but not till March 2001 so I have lots of time to think about it.

This was posted a while back at $125,000. The 0-60 time was 4.7, same as the m5 magazine best. Autozine is now posting the m3 e46 time as 4.9 (claimed)!! see article from Saturday board.
From what I am reading, the new m3e46 is probably a more sophisticated engineering product than either the Hartge or the m5. The Orient Blue is looking good though!
