You are so ridiculous... a slogan is just that, a marketing slogan. Just like Ford says Built tough or Chevy says heartbeat of America, BMW says ultimate driving machine.

The Evo 9 compites in limited categories against the M-3, maybe on the braking department and maybe on the handling department, for everything else they are two completely different cars.

Can a Evo 9 run a 12.9@111mph?, perhaps yes with a few little mods but this is not about comparing a car for drag racing, it is a different built car criteria, one is much cheaper but lacks of safety and luxury and the other one cost more but comes more equiped etc.

actually I'm answering to that particular post about the "yada yada." so, just relax. but like I said if they are comparing that to the previous m3 make sure it is believable and have some substantial improvements not just the status quo.

I'm probably gonna do the same. Sell the Evo after college and pick up an Alpine White E92 M3. I've never had a white car before, but this M3 looks sexy as hell in white with the CF roof.

I have both an E46 M3(modded) and Evo IX(stock) right now, but I like my M3 better(sorry guys )

The Evo is kind of too hardcore for me. I don't do alot of racing or track events, so I like a car in which I can relax in from time to time. The M3 offers thrills and luxury, even though the Evo was a way better performace bargain overall.

I say no less than $65k. And now thats $20k OVER an loaded 335i.

$65k can get you an awfully nice 911 c4 thou.

I think at that price its in a whole new ball park for alot of people.

relatively speaking of course.
