is your new M3 down on power? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

is your shiny new E90/E92/E93 M3 just not powerful enough? does it lack a little mid-range torque that you desire?

Pretty impressive but for the price of the M3 and the extra 23k for that, I'd just get a GTR.

yeah, it's pretty pricey, especially on top of the price of the car! i just thought it was cool. and i think someone does a new M5/M6 V10, punches it out to like 5.7L or so, and over 600hp. it's all necessary though. don't question it!!!

yeah but the M3 has much better reliability and wont cost as much to repair and mantain...crazy right? thinking a German can is cheaper to maintain, Nissan kinda missed the ball on that one, shoving all that extra, albeit cool, shit into the car

And on a side note...I got to drive an E92 not too long ago on the track...DCT 7speed, but still a blast

Wait, wait, wait... German car is cheaper to maintain? My neighbor had '09 BMW M3 and in 2 weeks tran broke and took em close to 2 month to ship the parts in and fix that damn tran problem. Another thing was they said that some parts were "Outside" of warranty (idk wtf that means), so they billed him over $2k of parts & labor fee. Of course those morons didn't know that my neighbor is a lawyer. In the end, my neighbor make em paid for parts & few $k to his pocket... so from my neighbors experience I don't think, BMW is cheaper.

If you're spending that kind of money, maintenance fees are of little consequence. Still, GTR or M3? No brainer for me.
