295? :wtf:

I might as well get another Honda.

Looks like the rumors were true :shakehead:

I was hoping for something to outshine it's ugly exterior :dunno:

420hp, 295lb-ft torque :jack:

We'll see how "fast" it is still.

Linear powerband. Good or bad depending on preference.

420hp isn't bad, lightweight, 85% of its torque available after 2000rpm, 8300rpm redline, isn't bad.

but 295lb-ft of torque!?!?!?! WTF?!?!

I'm sure it'll still outhandle and have better gearing than its competitors, but the torque is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too low. a stock 335i has more torque! the powerband is great, but still under 300lb-ft?!?!

I may have to reconsider this one...

As I've been saying all along, the 335 would be the best deal out there from BMW right now.

That said, the C63 should still blow its doors off.

Yes exactly. A 335i with a $1500 chip, 360lb-ft torque.

It's sad because everything else on the M3 performance wise is great. I'm sure that high revving V8 is gonna sound awesome to...but 295 torque, bleh

I bet it will turn really well and you can shift it's gears.

What a novel idea.
