Very difficult to compare to any scoob really. Very different proposition. But I do like normally aspirated cars now, having jumped between the 2 a fair bit of late. Instant power and pickup as soon as you touch the peddle and just keeps going all the way to 8K.
But I would say the M3 would be all over a 340bhp newgae but would be a very close match against a 340bhp classic. The Grip and agility on the M3 is incredible considering its weight. The M3 just feels very planted and offers a complete package, and just feels like it can take allot of punishment and you don't feel scared that something might go pop when pushing on hard. Once scoobs have been fettled with they can be superb, but as a bit of kit straight out the box I have to say BMW really got it right.
The 3.0 Z4 is no slouch and is quick and nimble, but the the M3 is a proper hooligans car when you want it to be.
