Not going to lie about the M3... Amazing car to drive and fun as hell. Way better than the 335i. I would love to trade my E46 M3 for the new one but I can't afford one. The 335i is also a great car but more luxury to be honest. ANYWAYS, you might think it is not as strong because of the recent update for the turbo lag that was acknowledged by BMW. Here is the full report from BMW: BMW's official statement: "In an effort to address specific noise concerns, BMW updated the turbocharged engine software on 335i/xi and 535i/xi models built from June 2006 through March 2008. The updated software causes a small amount of increased “turbocharger lag” under certain circumstances and, while not substantial, the lag may be perceptible to the most sensitive BMW drivers. X6, 135i, and 3 Series/5 Series vehicles from March 2008 production onward are not affected. Release of the new software to restore the original turbocharger response is planned for January 2009, and it will be available for vehicles produced from September 2007 through March 2008 when they are brought to an authorized BMW center for a repair which requires a programming update. Clients with vehicles produced from June 2006 through September 2007 may request installation of the January 2009 software update. Clients who get this update should understand that there is a possibility of slightly increased engine noise levels under certain circumstances."
