My daily driver is E46 328i and E30 325 weekends. 328i is more responsive with Signature Motoring performance (CAI) intake kit. Installed it myself in under half hour. HP increase on the E46 is about 13.5HP for a cost of $170 or around $17 per HP gain. Best 1st performance mod to do. Other application data:

E30 series: 6.0-13.4hp gain

E36 series: 5.5-12hp gain

E46 series: 6.0-13.9hp gain

E92 series: 8.5+ hp gain

Z3/Z4 (all): 5.5-13.9hp gain

A M3 to beat a 355 has gotta have some mod done to it for that extra power

[vertine11]

Every vid of m3 vs 355 is different even when stating they're stock. 355 is quicker if driven properly

[meowchow17]

Andy993, i've got the limiter removed and have gotten it to 180

[tonalityfruit]

@meowchow17 Nearly 20 years newer and still 3pmh slower lol

[deputydude]

Do they not sell good quality cameras in kuwait?

[Beetuber]

you are dreaming if you think an M3 can go 198mph. Nowhere close.

[bimmerM3003]

ive gotten mine to 170

[Jailbrokendotnet]

M3 top speed is 198 mph

[jmifl]

and in km/h?

[Jailbrokendotnet]

300 Basicly

[Darkstar8602]

i know the berlinetta is slower the a e46 bmw m3. ferrari berlinetta is 0-60 in 4.9 sec

m3 is 0-60 4.7

[porscheowns16]

yea but a 190 mph tiop speed for the ferrari is alot better trhen the m3 right?

[KMT15]

M3 is 4.8, 355 is 4.7

Drivers race

[playasven]

355 is 4.3

[phodalimonada]

it doesn't mean it is slower..

not at all..

i'm not saying it is faster. I'm not even comparing both cars. but you can't say a car is slower than another one just because it takes 0.2 secs longer to reach 60 than the other one. maybe it has a higher max. speed, or it is faster from 60- 100, or it is faster on curves or whatever. Just don't come here write things based on only one data you found at a site or magazine.

[holmdogrm1]

that m3 wasn't stock, or the 355 wasn't pinned because I traded my 02 E46 for a 95 F355 and the F355 is noticeably faster from 60mph on with similar 0-60 sprints for both cars.

[andy993]

I think the 355 was caught off guard. Prob started in the wrong gear by the looks of it. You're right. I test drove an F355 and it was definitely faster than my 996 Carrera 2. Had to rev the engine alot more to get power though. Different powerband for sure.

[bleckndecker]

Yeah but your Carrera 2 is slower in a striaght line then a E46 M3.

[andy993]

Uh... 996 slower than E46? Says who? First off, E46 M3 1/4 mile performance is 13.2 sec, exactly the same as a stock 996 Mk I. Secondly, what do u know about my car? It's not a stock Carrera 2. Thirdly, top speed on an E46 M3 is Governed at 155. Carrera 2 is NOT governed and will do roughly 177 mph. So on a highway pull, u might keep up till 155 but after that ur done son. ;-)

[bleckndecker]

I should have said 0-60 faster. I know 1/4 is the same, yes i dont know anything about your car, how would I? Im talking stock, and top speed comparison is just a waste of time. Not insulting anybody or anybodys car's here. Just stating the facts. According to C&D 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 0-60 is 5.0 and 2002 M3 is 4.7. Not much of a difference.

[andy993]

Ok that's cool. But ya, my original point was from my experience I've driven E46 M3's before and they have similar performance to my 996 Carrera 2(obviously). But the F355 feels MUCH faster than both cars. Maybe the number's 0 to 60 don't show but the 1/4 mile time does (12.8 to the 1/4 on an F355). Just drive one and you'll see what I mean.

[mikegsr94]

I'll take your Carrera anyday, HP Freaks Turbo and tuned... you never had a chance boy ;-D

[andy993]

Take my Carrera with what? A toy Evo? Good luck man.

[mikegsr94]

apparently you don't know what a HPF turbo is... and no not in a toy but in my 2003 e46 m3 son. smg by the way

[andy993]

Post it and show me... Vids don't lie. Ppl do.

[tonalityfruit]

@mikegsr94 Don't be a tool man. I own an M3 and love it, but the E46s are far from stunning. Drive what you love and keep it at that. Besides, unless you're driving an 850i, you're just playing at driving a supercar. I'd trade in my M3 for a 348/355 any day of the week. No one turns their head for a beamer. Not to mention an E36 would tear you a new one anyway lol.

[mikegsr94]

@tonalityfruit Who said anything about turning heads? Speaking of tools your not the sharpest tool in the shed are you.

[tonalityfruit]

@mikegsr94 Whatever man. Keep running your mouth and enjoy yourself. Nobody cares lol.

[porscheowns16]

looks like ferrar was catching up until it had to slow down

[10blood]

crappy camera, probably from a phone

[e92m3fan]

wth is wrong with the front left wheels on the 355,it looks so fucked up.

[docmatt]

Its something to do with the camcorder lense filming the wheel through the curvature of the M3 window. Agreed its looks weird, lol !
