Vid: E46 M3 vs Euro-Spec STi in Israel
The movie is about 4.7 megs

Well, seeing some of your replies, I wasn't surprised that the STi got owned. For 45000+ compared to 30k, the M3 better win. I mean the M3 has more hp (333 vs 265), more torque (260+ vs 250+), better aerodynamics and better bandwidth. Now if it was a j-spec sti, maybe that'd be more interesting (torque 260+ vs 280+).

3x an STi at is closer to $90-100K, or 2x an actual E46 M3

c'mon guys, dont start that money argument again. sure it cost more for an m3, but that isnt in contest, which one is faster is. the m3 because it was faster, not because it cost more. both are uber schweet tho.

The M3 motors don't blow...
there is a very specific time period between 10-01 and 12-01 where there is a problem with the motors and they DO have a tendancy to explode.
Outside of this problem window, the cars have been very reliable...
BMW has also been very quick to replace any and all motors that have given out due manu. problems.
Dont' go spreading retard rumors about things you have no idea about.

Rumours?? How you figure? I guess autoweek is spreading rumours too:

you should write them and tell them to stop spreading "retard rumors."
Honestly, after owning, driving and maintaining many different BMWs, i can safely assure you, i know a just a little about what im talking about.
