Default bmw 325 e46 vs Esc Cossy

Help me settle an argument guys...

Which would win?




The BMW tops out at about 140ish and takes about a year to 60

No it ain't, the M3 would SLAUGHTER an Escos. Your talking 286bhp and 199 bhp per ton. The Cos is 227 and 180 per ton and 4 wheel drive.

James i don't think an early M3 3.0 would hardly slaughter a standard escort cossie, the M3 is quicker at the top end though.

How early are you talking? E36 like the one above? It would slaughter a standard Escos. A standard Cossie ain't fast

James i had an M3 for 3yrs, its the one in Danvisteon's signature above,i sold it to him, brillant car though.

A 325 E46 will be nowhere near as fast as a standard esc cos.
