obviously i have not driven an E90 M3 so take that into consideration when i say this:

if you are serious about an E90 coupe, you would be much better off buying a 335i. with nothing more than a tune you can make 340rwhp/390rwtq and have a much better torque curve than any M motor ever built---not to mention you can get one for about $15k less than the M3 will be

I always liked E36 M3 , the body of the newer M3's doesn't looks so sporty like E36

You're talking about the twin turbo 3.0L correct? I bet those cars would fly with a tune, full exhaust, and maybe some other minor tweaks. I'm pretty sure u can get them with a 6spd manual too. Thats what i'd get

yup. twins, 10:1 comp, direct injection, 6spd man and auto. like i said before---$1300 plug and play programmed ecm nets 340rwhp/390rwtq on sport package cars, stock everything else.

interesting thx for the info, im in no position to buy either financially right now however I do take alot of interest in price/performance of cars in general, and what they are capable of

what years does it come with the twin turbo 6?


my x-roomate had a 2002 bmw 330ci modded to death, it seemed like a painfully expensive process for that model.


oh and i agree the e36 m3 looks way better

the turbo model is a 335i and i believe it is an 07-up model, there may be a late 06 though.

a modded e46 330 is a lot of money pissed away. he would have been much better off saving mod money and buying an M car---E36 or E46 would be a good improvement over a modded E46 330.

i like E36's, but E46's are badass. the guy next to me was working on one today that had coilovers, 4wheel 4piston 2pc rotors stoptech brakes, camber rods/plates, and the almighty SMG tranny. i made love to that car a few times today.
