EV’s out perform ICE in every performance metric. And EV’s are currently the worst they will ever be. The future EV M3 will fully deserve the M badge when it comes out and it will only get better |

Incremental horsepower gains will be replaced with incremental range/battery gains. We stay on the treadmill either way.

sweet sounding exhaust tried to get one for the wife to replace our F25 X3 xdrive35i, but she said suspension was too firm for her so we ended up with the base X5 40i, amazing car

0-60 bmw M3 is 4.1 (that's the one i test drove, the base model) 0-60 bmw m3 comp is 3.8 0-60 i4 M50 is 3.7 car and driver said the 1/4 mile of the m50i was 0.1s slower than M3. and 0-60 was 0.2s quicker than the M3 comp so not as "worlds apart" as you may think. so i guess i agree with you "Everyone’s entitled to their opinion even when it’s wrong"

I don’t mind the electric motor assist like in the majority of Supercars out there now, just don’t skimp on the main combustible engine and let the electric make up the difference for the power.

That’s talking about a turbo with an impeller also driven by an electric motor that can spin up faster and independently of exhaust pressure. Instead of batteries driving motors that drive the wheels, the batteries drive a really high speed motor hooked up to the turbo.
If you’re interested, look up Porsche’s new 911 GTS hybrid technology for what I think is the first mass produced example. Really interesting and smart stuff. Lets you have some benefits of both worlds (the fun and noise of ICE along with some benefits of EV like more or more linear power with a faster turbo spool up with much less lag) Last edited by anakha; 10-17-2024 at 01:17 AM.. |

You don't buy an M car to drag race at stoplights. My X5 M50 does 0-60 in that same range. There's a ton of modern sports cars that are in the 3s 0-60. You buy an M for handling, chassis control, etc. That said, the current M3 makes no sense in a manual IMO. At $85k with options, you can get the faster, larger, more comfortable, and cooler CT5V Blackwing for like, virtually nothing more. BMW killed it with the pricing. |
