Park up a saff next to a M3 and look at the difference, know which one I'd rather go home in
true....a beemer M model looks very nice.......thats why a lot of pimps drives around in these cars....

the building quality is not the same as the beemer....chassis wise...

and you talk about 280bhp standard..yeah..its 3liters or more...
but did you know a cossie engine did leave the cosworth factory with 280-300bhp with lots more torque then the m3 will ever have...

but ford brought it back.......

and whats its standard.......a factory tuned the engine and sell it...
a normal 3liter engine has the same bhp as a standard cos engine....
