Are you thinking about the i8? The i3 is about half the price of an m3.

Looks like this is all about traction...and the M3 had none until 2nd gear. Has nothing to do with torque. I'd probably lose to an i3 too if it were wet outside.
How did the magazines get 0-60 in 3.9 seconds with the stock M3? Because it has no torque?

Isnt the i3 1300 pounds and its made of carbon fiber...its going to be fast from 0-45
All the m3 owners is going to claim "oh no traction on the m3...."

Shape of the torque curve, gearing, and actual performance figures don't mean anything. When we get an M3/M4 with a higher stated peak torque, all the magazine racers will finally be happy. |

The e9X M3's were absolute failures in the mind of BMW which is why the new M3/M4 will get the n55 (335) motor.

Shouldn't the M3 have above avg traction thanks to launch control?
This video is a good example of technological advancements. Don't be surprised if the F8x replacement is hybrid/turbo like the next generation GTR

M3 looks and sounds a hundred times better than the i3. Sorry, I wouldn't pay $15K...forget paying $45K for what looks like a refrigerator on wheels.
