A LOOK AT THE 2008 BMW M3: “The 335i could have been a supercar a decade ago, but the new M3 puts it in the shade. We’ve made this point before, but it’s an amazing commentary on the automotive world in which we live that a BMW M3 could pack a V-8 that generates upwards of 400 horsepower and still be considered a little underpowered. I have a hunch that in a decade when we’re all driving gas misers, we’ll think back to this era with reverence and awe.”
