people dont want to pay 70k out the door for a none M 3-series? Don't worry, we now offer 4 series for those who pursue sports and luxury.

Ok now, seriously speaking... during the E46 and E9x transition, we saw a huge gain in power and potential even when you compared the E46 M3 and regular N54 335. Yes, I know this all happened during the horse power war and now everyone is/has to go green. But wasn't it fun? Yes it was. The none M model were able to compete with the previous M3. For the very same reason, many 335 owners were previously E46 M3 owners. Some may call it a downgrade but many treated it as an upgrade. Fast forward to 2013, now what do we have here. A rebranded 3 series with many upgrades but perhaps lacking the most important, the engine. I loved the N54 found in my '07 E92, even though it wasn't matured until later 09 and continually to be perfected. I also liked N55 in my '11 E82. Regardlessly how great those two engines are, they should not be used in the new F3x platform. They are great engines, but also brings no excitement. I do enjoy switching between my E90 M3 and the E82 135. Will I replace my E90 M3 with another N55? Why the heck would I do that? Now BMW, there are still time. If you guys are playing the E9x 330 to E9x 335 upgrade card again, I've got my pen and check ready. A N55tu or something along the line will be great. If that doesnt happen, I will still buy the F3x M, but the other parking spot may be reserved for something else besides a BMW.
