evo VII in U.S. (i think)

Hey, don't know if this was posted, but found it on the E46 Fanatics site. I followed it from a link from somewhere...forgot though.

thats about the most stuck up reply i have ever heard...

one dude says "...in the end you are driving a BMW, and he is driving a Mitsubishi...plus the ladies like the BMW's A LOT more than Mitsubishis"

thats what i expect to hear from a little rich boy with a BMW. thank god for poor people!!!

as for myself, i'm a mountain twisty man..the BMW's 50/50 weight distrubtion and power from a 330Ci is plenty enough to keep people in my area following my taillights.

330CI? OMG, that thing is so damn slow. I would get rid of that POS in the blink of an eye for an Evolution VII. I have a rule with BMWs:

If it isn't an M3 or M5, it's probably slow

I'm not interested in an overpriced 3 series or a 5 series. I can do that with Audi. It's just hilarious the way people think. If his 330CI is the fastest car where he lives, then....just wow lol

330ci does do 0-60 in 5.8 to 6.1s.... plenty fast for "most" ppl...
Of course, EVO owners are not "most" ppl..

they're not faster than the new m3's are they? i haven't read of an m coupe doing 0-60 faster than 5.0 secs but i have read m3's doing 4.7 secs.

depends on the year. 99-00 m coupes are faster then the E36 95-00 M3. They have the same engine S52 (except the 95).

01-02 M coupes have the same engine as the E46 M3 but slightly less hp. 315hp versus 330hp.

given that the M coupe is 3131lbs and the M3 is 3400+lbs. the M coupe is at least as fast as the M3.

but BMW doesn't want the M coupe (now discontinued) model to take the glory so they don't advertise the Mcoupe as being the faster M model.

yes but, he said he would want an EVO

heres my point of view on the EVO hope you don't mind!
as for myself, i'm a mountain twisty man..the BMW's 50/50 weight distrubtion and power from a 330Ci is plenty enough to keep people in my area following my taillights.
But..!
the idea of YAW control, Four Wheel Drive, Brembo Brakes, Sparco Seats, *turbo*.....makes me drool..
this may sound stupid to a lot of you but i would die for the sound of BOV..
as for the ladies fact..I'm already in a stable long term relationship..

feel free to comment!!!!!!! I hope someone would take my mind off of the EVOs..
