| Message: | I found this comparison from "Autocar UK" on-line magazine. I looked up the data of a 2001 E46 M3 6-speed and the 2008 E92 M3. Both cars are fast...the E92 M3 of course faster. You can draw the conclusions. The numbers in brackets [ ] is the E92 M3 data. The conclusion I draw is the E92 M3 has traction problems off-the-line (slower 0-30 time); more grunt at the higher speeds (0-100 in 1.3 sec faster); mid-range power is about equal; pulls much better in the higher gears. E46 M3 [E92 M3] 0-30 2.0 sec [2.1] 0-60 4.8 sec [4.7] 0-100 11.5 sec [10.2] 0-150 no data [26.5] 30-70 4.1 sec [3.7] 0-400m 13.4@107mph [13.3@112] 0-1000m 23.7@139mph [23.5@143] 30-50 in 3rd/4th gear 3.0/4.5 sec [3.1/4.3] 40-60 in 4th/5th gear 4.1/5.4 sec [4.1/5.2] 50-70 in 5th gear 5.4 [5.0] 60-0 2.6sec [2.62] All-in-all...if you are looking for the E92 M3 to be killer fast compared to the E46 M3, you will be disappointed. The E92 M3 will however be dazzling in the 6000-8400 rpm range where most of the power lies. | ||||
