If the X3M is anything to go off; a 10.6 1/4 with a tune and intake, the xdrive M3 is going to be an absolute beast! How well BMW have tuned the xdrive to feel as good around corners remains to be seen, but I'm hopeful they'll nail it.

Haven’t posted on here in forever, but the metallic scream of my deceased E46 M3 will live in my heart for eternity. I’ve never enjoyed driving another car as much, that car was something special.

Yes. It's a bit like choosing your favourite Bond. My son likes Daniel Craig. My wife likes Roger Moore. I think going by your choice you like Pierce Brosnan?

Ha, I got my start with Connery and he is still my favorite

although Pierce and Goldeneye has had a large impact on my childhood as well.

Would be happy to own all of them at once...one for each day of the week

It got better in every iteration. The best is the last one.

I respect the G8X for what it is but it really highlights how beautiful the previous generations truly are. The F8X is just drop dead gorgeous.
