so wait... the stock motor produces 230 horses.... Then they put TWO turbos in.. and all they get out of them is another 70 horses??? thats kind of confusing... Why so small?
I think its a sweet car, and hell yeah I would take one with twin turbo, but there must be a big reaon why they didnt crank out more power... The way it looks, the whole twin turbo thing is probably just a gimick to attract sales.

Throttle response...and to turn over the run-flat tires.  This isn't a Mini, the 3-series has enough room for a spare in the trunk.

I thought about that too, but I'm sure the turbo's probably aren't producing too much boost stock and can probably be tuned to produce more, or you could probably just get 2 aftermarket ones with more boost that will probably bolt right up.

Also don't forget that the current M3 is around 333 hp.

yeah but the new m3 will have the 400hp V8.
I wonder how much the TT 3 series will cost?

For a BMW buyer - probably reasonable
For everyone else - probably expensive

the redesign is MUCH better than whats out now. lines flow better. headlights flow better. now if they can redesign the 5 6 and 7 with these new lines bmw would be back in business, not that i can afford any of them.
