Wow. I've been (passively) looking for this page for a while—months, at least. Before I redirected BMW Motorsport in, the only link was from the BMW page itself, and was well-buried there. Hopefully this will bring some more eyes to the page. --Milkmandan 05:20, 2005 Feb 4 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 Model Year

Vrrrooooom!!! Well, BMW has moved on to producing the 2006 version of the 3 series, so, the E46 ///M3 version is basically no longer on the market. As such, I've played with the wording and location of the models under in the latter part of the article. Only the M5 and M6 are currently being produced. However, 2007 should see a new M3 take to the streets. Sirimiri 03:49, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Added a link in Previous Models

Added the M535i to the list of previous models. Rather than list it as the "E12 M535i", I'll let the link to the BMW E12 Special Models section speak for itself. Also I might go add some minor updates with information to the BMW E12 page reflecting the M535i's history as the first official BMW M car (discounting the M1 as a homogolation special).

[edit] Biturbo >> N54 or R6 ?

Can anybody tell me if the in 2007 expected 3 liter straight six bi-turbo engine will be the magnesium R6 or the alluminium N54.

[edit] Brakes?

Should it be mentioned that BMW M cars have long been known to be sporty, but lack what are widely considered to be decent brakes? Scryer_360 (talk) 00:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
