I likes, twin turbo BMW, and I think stock it is really boosting low, so this car may have a lot of aftermarket potential. M3 owners showuld be scared of this car, 335is may be tapping that *** with basic bolt ons. Still love the EVO, but this car is on my top 5 list for under $50,000.

Sweet. I've been waiting for the two door version of the new body style. The fact that it is available with a twin turbo in-line 6 is icing on the cake. It looks good too.

I drove a 330 sedan and thought it was great but, needed more power and it just takes so much work to get big power increases from NA motors. I love the M3 but, it is just a little out of reach new. This might be the answer for me or the wife.

I'm still waiting to see what happens with the X and the GTR. Too bad the GTR will probably fall into the same category as the M3, just a little out of reach new.

Love the idea, love BMW for taking a shot at a larger displacement turbo car (as opposed to the 318ti's most recently), but can't stand the looks of BMW's line anymore. Those cars will be beasts with a little love from the aftermarket.

I'm thinking the stock turbos would be tiny, kinda like the Audi A4's and S4's. Good for torque, quick spool and low rpm power. Therefore hard to extract huge HP from them.

I like it alot! Do you think that insurance would be more on this New BMW compared to a new EVO? It might be worth it if BMW gives that free maintenance deal.

It is just cool that someone will be making an in-line turbo 6 again though. There hasn't been anything available like that since the skyline and the supra were killed off.

I heard the M3 will be a NA V8, no forced induction though.

Cool car. I have a feeling these things will go for about 50K from the dealership though.

Nice car...they talk about the 2008 M3 in the article:

The 2008 M3 is expected to have a 400-hp naturally aspirated V-8 and cost $10,000 more. ($52k total)

Which should be pretty sick.
