Because a "M" is a limited production vehicle, a dealer typically as a waiting list and people more than willing to pay a premium over the MSRP. Actually, the new 335 coupe with the turbo gives you 300 HP already and many believe it's faster than the 06 M3.
Yes, the 335i is actually as fast or faster in a straight line than the 2001-2006 M3 coupe. However, the M3 is a much harder, much more tuned, and high strung machine than the 335i coupe is. The suspension is harder, the engine is more responsive, the steering is more direct...
If you test drive both, you'll feel the difference immediately.

SOrry, I didnt make myself clear. WHen Nitrous is installed propperly you can leave the switch on as long as you want. Nitrous gets dangerous to the engine when it leans out. See nitrous is Nitrous oxide. ITs the oxide part that actualy gives you the power. The nitrous just makes a great carrier for it. When an engine runs lean bad things happen. You got off easy if it was just valves. The solution to this is a WOT switch. EVERY nitrous install should have one. This makes the nitrous only flow when the car is at wide open throttle. Allowing for more fuel to prevent a lean condition. Anyone that doesnt install one has no place installing a nitrous kit to begin with. What level squeeze were you running on that car?
I agree if they didnt install a WOT switch i would run far far away from them.
Heres mine nothing too special

Its a big money pit so I stopped doing things to it lately but it started as an automatic but Ive converted it into a manual trans. Main things Ive done is
Auto to manual conversion
JWT tuned ecu
NX wet nitrous (currently not usable due to my JWT advanced timing program)
Lightweight flywheel
Variable intake manifold from the middle east
Custom 13" big brake kit (300zx calipers and mustang cobra rotors)
I'll just give you a link to my cardomain much easier :)

I meant the difference between an M3 and a regular 3-series BMW. I'm not going to bother going to test drive either one until I want a new car. Otherwise it would be too tempting. Just curious if the M is worth looking at because it sure costs a lot more than a regular 3-series.
Yeah an e46 m3 is my dreamcar, and will be my next car, no doubt. There really isn't a huge difference if you're jumping from a fully loaded 3 series to an m3. My stepdad got a new fully loaded 330ci with M package (suspension, rims, and a few others things, not sure)...but basically the price came up to about 48k out the door, which is about 10k cheaper than a new M. Basically, with the M, you're paying for the powerplant, and that's about it. Granted, there is nothing more fun than near 50/50 weight distribution with over 300 under the hood, if you're not a tracker or live in a heavily congested area, the 230 or so horses the regular 3's came with is nothing to scoff at. But also realize with M's, you're paying more, but you also get quite a bit better resale value due to the heritage and demand.
Here's my dd when I'm back home on the left coast...nothing yet under the hood, but hopefully soon-to-be Greddy TT'd when the funds permit.
