Factory carbon intake manifolds, Factory Carbon BMW Body Kits spare parts for E46 P54 M3 PTG as well as spare parts for the current V8 M3 factory race car as well as spare engines and or internal parts for each. The E46 M3 P54 race car parts are getting harder two snag by the minute.

@ Scottsdale Motorsports what kind of party?

an50331 June 15, 2010 at 02:40

the bmw is better value. but you really cannot replicate porsche driving characteristics

I’d probably have two flip a coin trying to choose between these two. there are so many nice cars out there … wish i could have ‘em all.

A superior transmission system and suspension from a M3 makes the difference, mine is a E46 M3 in 2002 and still rocks in its category.

Carrera is number two, but that’s okay … give me either one of the two cars and I’ll be a happy man:))

@ 096085 i guess the driver of the m3 must be a 17 year old …………… go race someone who can shift properly and i can bet my is350 that he will take you from 0 all the way to 300plus

ScottsdaleMotorsport June 15, 2010 at 06:15

I have some spare factory BMW racing parts if anyone is interested?

@ Cenadanial08 how am a dumbass that i got the ISF …. Explain that because i dont like how the interior looks on the M3 and i dont like how u gotta pay so much money for shiftpaddle soo that makes me a dumbass well buddy theres differential sensing in Believe on … Comfort and reliability .. but if i wanted a track car the M3 Would hate been the choice by the way in a race on M3 STR8 line and won in the second until the two hit 156 .. lol.

cenadanial08 June 15, 2010 at 06:35

@ 096085 but ur dumbass got the isf lol

BMW are nice but they really need to improve there interiors they look like there missing the wow factor to match the engine especially since they are a luxury brand

Timmeboyy June 15, 2010 at 07:56

It’s kind of ridiculous two pick a winner on equal State … yes, the M3 has a more practical gearbox, but it actually will not match the 911′s feel, economy or lap times. Still a fascinating car though, but not the winner if you compare them as sports cars.

NICE, Bravo BMW your engine are the Best of the world!

m3 of ice cream is sexy

@ 096085 hahaha I agree the inside of a Lexus is a little more updated compare two BMW. I do not think BMW’s inside has changed much in past 10 years. Ya, the price out the door is quiet a difference from MSRP prices for euro cars, unless you just want engine, wheels, and a box lol. I have a feeling with the money you save on the ISF and use it on tuning, you’ll out do the stock M3.

096085 June 15, 2010 at 10:32

@ Babymegatron well am going to be honest with you it was really all about the interior to tell you da truth like the M3 Exterior is Beast but The ISF interior is better in MPO because is a touch screen to tell u and also the BMW charges extra for shift paddle ISF came with it and the Last Final Reason the F is a new line so i Thought of Buying something no one have around my are but if the hard work maybe in 3 to 4 year i will be saying hello to the m3 in my garage every morning =)

babymegatron June 15, 2010 at 11:03

@ 096085 why did you buy the M3 instead then?

Baledwyr June 15, 2010 at 11:09

If this is America’s answer to Top Gear I cry …

is this on laguna seca?

ffeenixxx June 15, 2010 at 12:07

My God 911′s are lame looking!

Meminem June 15, 2010 at 12:50

@ Mrakssey Yeah, the fact that the Z8 did not have very good acceptance only for the lack of an automatic gearbox option says it all. Refuse a Z8 only for that? What were they thinking? It is a Trully sports car!

Kinda Remind me of what Richard (top gear) said two James May on one episode: You manage to find something to say about drilling something so exciting like this.
