Speaking about germans, they will come up soon with two new engines: v8 425hp for new M3 and I6 375bhp for 3 series (latter will be turbo)

not questioning your integrity, something just sounds fishy.. anyone else?
I can see the 3-seriese going to 375 simply due to Is350 going to 300.... BMW and Mercades always trump teh competition with the latest models. I saw a vid of a SL65 AMG doing the 1/4 in 10 seconds in a vid this morning.. in a luxury convertable... simply incredible!!

And if there is a turbo coming for the 3 series' I6 , it would comfortably put the turboed base I6 over the M3's V8..

E90 330i and 2005 TL MT (both manual and stock) have almost the same numbers.

I have a feeling the E46 ZHP is more tossable, but a bit slower in a straight line. When I was shopping for a new sedan, I test drove the TL, G35, and 330i ZHP. Although the ZHP sure appeared to be the "slowest" on paper, it definately felt the fastest and most enjoyable to drive of the three.
