What would you guys rather own, a BMW M3, or the upcoming 335d turbodiesel with 425 lb./ft. of torque, and chip-tuning capability for a whole lot more?

Yeah. I don't think it would take much to get the 335d to 325 hp and 500 lb./ft. That would be one fun ride, there!

i'll take that diesel any day and leave that M3 in a thick cloud of black smoke! just think of the possibility of a lightwieht diesel vehicle with an engine that will probably have the potential to make decent power and high reving on top of that!

Yeah the 335d is probably going to run $50k+. At the very least, mid-to-high 40s. ![]()

Modding BMWs is SERIOUS business. Luxury and performance car builders like BMW charge you boatloads of money for their cars, and then they charge you even more for broken things in their cars. What sucks even more is that many of the parts in BMWs are intricate and expensive to fabricate, so if anything goes wrong the likelihood of a DIY fix is pretty low, so you're pretty much forced to pay stealerships a fortune just to fix a tiny problem.
If I had the money...I'd probably stay with the M3. At least I can pay 70k and safely have a factory warranty to back me up. Spending 50k and maybe another 10-20k for a modified 335d would make an awesome car, but I'd live in fear every moment I'm driving it because I know any problems will cost another fortune to repair. And it's not like BMWs are the toughest cars built on the planet too, heh.
