In Reply to: I see what your saying, lets wait & see 2002 M3 posted by RO 330i on March 25, 2001 at 23:36:21:
arent doing too well...the S4s are smoking them on a routine basis (remember, I prefer BMWs so this REALLY sucks!) I Honestly feel that the market will soon be flooded with M3 Type cars and BMW will have serious problems. First, the M3 is too pricy (given whats coming)Second, people are NOT loyal to brands...I will buy what ever it best..if its not a BMW, too bad for BMW. I think this whole M3 thing has pissed many of us off enough that we ARE looking for alternatives....and we will (soon) find them. At the end of the day, the M3 is just another used car..
for around 40K (2003) and Jaguar (they have a long history of making world class sports cars)has a 300+ hp Xseries with awd our BMWs will seem dated...even the e46M3s. Look at the (goofy looking) Subaru that just came out...from what I have been reading...you can get WELL over 300hp out of them for less than $1K ( a match for a M3 and AWD!)...Mitsubishi is talking about selling the Lancer here as well...another 300+ hp rally car. BMW is cashing in on the new M3s because they know demand will go down fast as competition is the segment increases. Analogies with e36M3s (great resell) wont hold water in the near future for the E46ers...the E36M3 never had this kind of very viable competition.....when you start thinking about used P-cars as other alternatives the new M3 starts to seem at tad pricy and maybe too little too late...I havent removed my name from the wait but probably will.....
Well, here are some stats on the V-8 M3, almost only for track though.
