E46 M3 no doubt is the all time classic.
On the other hand, these new cars have their own appeals~

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ghlight=Z4+n55 Back on topic: If the Z4 continues to be available with the N54 engine, easily tunable up to 390hp, and continues to be lighter than both the M235i convertible, M2 convertible and M4 convertible, then why do we need to wait and upgrade to 4 seats? The Z4 is available (also second-hand) today. Just saying haha... |

Further, the E89 35is is only 89 pounds lighter than the E88 135is, so there's a good chance that the F23 will be lighter than the E89. |

The N54 is the earlier more expensive and better tuner motor. This is why enthusiasts everywhere praise it. While many mills are underrated the N54 is prob the most so in recent history. I expect the M4 mill to be pure pleasure as well and underrated as well.

Question for Jason
Jason based on what we are seeing with the m235i coupe (if indeed we get the limited slip), do you see this move as BMW's way of saying we will NOT get an M2?

Of course if you want a coupe for its structural rigidity etc, don't get a convertible/Z4. Quote:
Remember that the new 4-series convertible is only up to 44 lbs / 20 kg lighter than E93 3 Series. The M4 is 176lbs / 80 kilograms lighter than the previous M3, and the upcoming M235i and M2 convertibles aren't likely to push this significantly further. Anyway, it is BMWs own fault that the N54 is so easily tunable and still available, albeit within a niche market segment. |

The N55 engine uses a single twin scroll turbocharger and the S55 engine uses twin mono scroll turbochargers (same as N54), but we don't know the size of the turbos.

From a brochure I got when ordering the car from the dealer in 2005:
And I've measured my car down to 4.2 per vbox. Car and driver got 4.6 out of their bone stock 6mt coupe test car. |

I am not very familiar with US specs cars' performance data in older BMW models; so it was the 6mt which was 0-60 at 4.8 secs then. Thanks for correcting.
