I like the new M3 but its by no means a GTR competitor in any way.

Well yea if you compare it to teh e30 M3, its got extra weight. But cars are bigger now than they use to be, so you cant compare the exact methodology of 20 years ago. The e92 is gonna be amazing, its pumping out 420 hp out of a 4.0L v8... that weighs less than the e46's 3.2L I6. And the car overall weighs just 100 lbs. more than the e46.

I've read all the comparisons on the new M3, RS4, and C63 and they all come to the same conclusion.... it is great car with a screaming engine but they expect more out of it since it is an M3.

More power to compensate the extra weight does work. The C63 is a great example.

Hopefully when the M1 comes out it will return us to what the older M3s were all about.
