Battle of the Bimmers: BMW M3 v BMW 135i v BMW 335i

Well if your still pondering on whether to by an E46 M3, here is a video to help you decide :)

just to note, the new e92 m3, is not that much quicker than a STANDARD e46 m3. well its definately not 80bhp quicker. more like 20bhp quicker :o definately dissapointed in it.

In the US, there isn't such a thing as a CSL, unless it's made by Vorsteiner :D

i wonder why :rolleyes: is it cos of emissions or the fact that they couldnt reduce any more weight from the csl to compensate for the average american :D :p

i know they did something to the exhaust on the normal M3s to reduce emissions, which slowed ther M3s down.

the guy who owned the 135i said it came with 6 pot brakes and LSD!? is this true?

[lumus]

nice find and a good comparison. the 135 is a serious bit of kit!!

Not sure about the brakes but I am pretty sure it has an LSD.

Does have bigger brakes but not an LSD. It has the new M-diff on it.

[Silver]

135i doesnt have LSD or 6pot brakes.
