E46 M3 or E92 335i?? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Sooo....yea....

Which one would you guys get?

A brand spankin new body style with a pushstart, twin turbo, gives the e46 m3 a run for its money, variable gearing, angel eyed 3 series

OR

a car with a timeless body, n/a so the engine should hold up longer, cooler bagde, race bred, Mpowered - the pinnacle of daily driving sports cars (as said on top gear and best motoring)

Never thought I would say it,

335.

I wouldn't get a 335 until atleast the 2nd year of production.

SHouldn't this be in general car related?

haha. Some dude around my way has a lil hatchback BMW thingy with a E46 M3 motor, trans, rear etc. It's moves nice but isn't as fast as I thought.

E46 M3 for being the better looking of the two. When those turbos go...cha ching...I can hear the money being plunked down for some mondo repair bills. On the other hand, the 335's are putting down some good dyno pulls ranging from 275-283 hp/278 tq.

But the only difference between my Slow S54 Powered car is that I actualy pay for my own power unlike your daddy does for you. But hell I guess a 12.9 1/4 for a stock car is slow... *Sigh*

There is the beauty part, unlike japanese cars the BMW warranty is pretty much bullet proof.

I also could not help but to notice your lies. "It moves nice but isnt as fast as I thought." Sorry to rain on your parade. But you have never seen my car pull anywhere. Esp. not around Hamilton. Ohh and as for the same trans and rear as an M3... Do some homework before you post inaccurate information.

Is your name Curtis and are you on ECE?

Would love to check out your car in person.
Any chance you'll be coming to a Thursday meet?

I haven't the experience of driving a 335 yet, however I hear it is a boring car to drive albeit quick. Many e46 M3 owners claim that it doesn't have nearly as much feedback or is as fun to drive as the e46 M.

Thanks Patrick. Helpful as always

Here is an owners account of how his 335i blew up with only a few hundred miles on the clock:

Dude you have to chill. They are quick but it isnt crazy. My 240 has put a hurting on many and subaruwrxkids car would rape me anally. He knows his ****

MPowerKai · 09-25-2006, 10:52 AM

Everytime MpoweredM posts and someone replies to it I think they are replying to me and I'm all like wtf are you talking about?!?! And then I realize it was directed to Arthur.

Also I thought you were curtis because on ECE he has the name MPoweredM on there.

I'd go with the E46 M3. Not only is it a better built car including the ///M badge on the rear, but it has a much wider array of aftermarket options. The availability of aftermarket parts for the E90/E92 are still very limited; mainly Hartge and AC Schnitzer. So my vote goes to the M3.
