Damn, I thought the car I bought last week (auction, £175) would be the loser.  But it ain't:

https://www.volvo480wales.com/images/opening%20page/480_es_new_009.jpg

Volvo 480 ES (not the turbo edition) 0-100kph (62mph) 9,3s and tops out at 190+kph.  Electric windows/mirrors and even pop-up headlights. 

How many BMWs have pop-up headlights, eh?

BMW M5

Valvetrain 40-Valve DOHC
Cylinders Vee
Cylinder Configuration 10
Displacement 4,941 cc
Horsepower(HP) 507
Torque(LBs-FT.) 383.5 @ 6100 RPM
Redline 8250 RPM
with the new M3 man!!! Its hard to get much more than 100hp per litre, without any chargers n stuff.

M5 and M6 have the same engine. The new M3 will have a modified M5/6 engine. V8 though.

I´ve done 0-100km/h on Nürburgring Testcenter in 5.7 with my dad´s M6 coupe. As far as I know, the only BMW thats has a under 5.0 in the papers is the Z3 M-Roadster 343hp and the new Z4 M coupe
I've heard that if you ask M Sport nice enough and throw some more cash there way they can fit the new M5/M6 engine and gearbox  in to the M3... All that power running to the rear wheels, you would have to have big cahoonas for that one.

Here in germany is a company called Gpower, they modify BMW only. I´ve seen a E46 M3 with the engine of the E39 M5 V8 400hp in it. This company works together with BMW M-GmbH itself, and the marriage of car and engine is in Munich. Gpower also offers a kit for the Z4 roadster with the M5/M6 block.

My problem with BMWs is the body roll. Yeah a M5 may edge out a RS4 or RS6, but try and take a 90 degree turn at a high rate of speed, that M5 is gonna struggle (Quattro FTW!).

Also, R10 > all. Saw it at the 12 hours of Sebring this year, and that thing books! Its also super quiet compared to other ALMS cars (Diesel Power). If only RS4s and RS6s came with the A3s DSG, that would be a car to be reckoned with.

The DSG gearbox isn't all that people think it is, I have it on mine, yeah it gives a fantastic and quick shift in auto or paddle shifting. But off the line it's just far too slow to pick up. By the time you're off and running manual cars are already well ahead, It's just a good job that the speed and timing of the actual change give you chance to pull their advantage back!

There is no lag in the BMW SMG shifting. It is the same kind Ferrari's and F1 cars use.

take it from someone who lives right next door to the country that makes BMW's....  BMW sucks.... extremely bad traction, and extremely overpriced.......  they should have sticked with making airplane engines after WW2...

Is that done on the Nordschleife or the Südschleife?

And it's intersting that the Astra won it.  Never thought Opel would ever make a decent car.  Having said that, the Holden (Australian branch of the same company) Monaro is quite good.

The DSG takes about 8 milliseconds to upshift. Compare that to the SMT in the Ferrari Enzo, which takes 150 ms to upshift
Splitting milliseconds, but thats like 19 times slower.

this makes me wonder!!! In former posts it seemed like your car will burn everything, well although you´ve never said something like this, this is the only content I can see in your posts. On the other side, I´ve read somewhere above that your 330i should outperform a Honda Civic Type-R. Well, not at all, and with a steptronic in absolutley no way. Type-R´s acceleration is way better than your cars, futher Type-R is not a fatfass like your´s. Topspeed will be the domain for your car. On a racetrack, a Type-R will own you badly! (and this has nothing to do with skills)
