No offense but "how many HP per liter" is what ricers driving Honda's worry about. If the motor puts out 400-500 HP (or more), gets good gas mileage and performs like an ape hyped up on crack, I could care less if it took 5, 6 or 7 liters to do it.

this car is pure sex.. will command some serious respect on the roads.. get some DPE RO5 variant S with no rivites in brushed aluminum in 20" and its done! simple as that..

Ditto. It's a nice looking car and I will seriously look at it when it comes time to trade in the E90. My wife loved the M5 until she saw the gas mileage. If GM can get a 500+HP motor to get 27-28 MPG on the highway, I don't understand why BMW can't/didn't, whatever.

well that's true...that V10 (in the M6 too) has bad mileage...

um, isn't it a 6.3 liter (dunno why you guys say 6.2) . this thing will beat the isf with 50+ hp and over 100+ torque

I'm not too familiar with MB but aren't all their modern cars automatic or step and the SLR isn't that auto also?

[truong321]

oh, and on a review of the c350 on Topgear or 5th Gear they said the seats are specifically designed for your ass and some other sweet details lol

[Boostedg35]

dude if its really a low 60k car then your damn right im getting it.. ill start my amg fund now.. i love the idea of having a monster sedan with some eye appeal like this.

IMO this blows away any 3 series bmw can put out sorry

If a smaller engine can put out more power and torque than a larger engine, it means that the smaller engine is better; either engineered better, or makes use of better technology.

also keep in mind that the larger an engine is, the heavier and less balanced the car will be.

This is one of the reasons why the n54 is better than a V8 of the same output.

what am I talking about?? It's a simple concept. "If the motor puts out 400-500 HP (or more), gets good gas mileage and performs like an ape hyped up on crack, I could care less if it took 5, 6 or 7 liters to do it."

I have a 6.0 liter in motor my C6 that puts out 475+ HP, gets 30 MPG on the highway and will smoke just about anything it comes up against in a straight line or on a track. What good is "better technology" if your still staring at another car's ass end and while you're stopping to get gas I'm driving for another 150-200 miles?? Sorry, I'm not troubled by that. Hell, I wish the more "technologically advanced" motor in my 330i got that good a MPG.

This car is but 1 reason why I'm disappointed in the M3 specs. 2 more to watch out for, GT-R and the next CTS-V

Something tells me there's more to come. Lots of action in the performance cars section these days. I sure hope BMW doesn't pull an E46 M3 and think that it can just release the car and not change anything for 6-7 years.

I hope so for BMW's sake.

C63: 450+, GTR: 480+, CTS-V: 550+ (600?)

M3 420

I think they've painted themselves into a corner on this one. It's going to be hard to keep up without pissing off early owners of the new M3.

Just because they are bigger in displacement does not mean they are bigger is mass! For instance, the 5.0L V10 in an M5 weighs 529 lbs, while the 7.0L V8 in a Corvette Z06 weighs 490 lbs. The 3.0L in my 335i weighs 419 lbs, while a 6.0L LS2 weighs 440 (yes more but not by much for double the displacement!)

LOL... I thought the same thing thing as i was looking through the pics. It would be funny if MB has transformer technology and will be putting it in their cars to beat BMW.
