Z4 si = 255hp ---> Z4 M = 330hp .... 29% increase

335i = 300hp --->
M3 = 388hp .... 29% increase
M3 = 400hp .... 33% increase
M3 = 417hp .... 39% increase
M3 = 444hp .... 48% increase

My point is simply this, the gap between the highest non-M version of each model & M version really isn't too far off. 29-39% increase in hp numbers. Even at 420 for the upcoming M3, that would place it at the highest % spread of any power increase over its respective sister non-M car.

Just for $hits.
good point.... now im dnt think 444 is gonna happen... unless bmw goes insane..

p.s. i call $60500 for the MSRP Basic (i hope its cheaper )
