Wow, check this out. BMW is taking the M3 to a whole different level, it is set to put two more doors on its 2008 model (optional of course). Its adding a whole lot more practicality to the car while retaining all its sportiness. Its for the peeps who don't quite want the hugeness of the M5 nor the smallness of the M3 coupe, its right in the middle.
Full review and more pictures here.

The 2009 Nissan GT-R, Summer 2008
The 2009 Nissan GT-R ($80,000; summer 2008) has the standard aggressive styling, along with a Godzilla-like 3.8L twin-turbo V6, which produces 473 horsepower and 434 ft-lbs. of torque. The GT-R and its GR6 dual-clutch six-speed, will also offer 0 to 60 time of 3.5 seconds, a quarter mile time of 11.7 seconds, and a top speed of 192 mph. Import muscle at its finest. The GT-R will be serious competition for the Porsche 911 Turbo, which it has been routinely seen testing alongside.

Fifth Gear: 2008 BMW M3
"The M3's V8 powerplant has two more cylinders than its predecessor, delivering 420 hp from 4.0 litters and maximum torque of 295 lb-ft at 3,900 rpm. In keeping with BMW's high-revving "M" tradition, maximum engine speed is 8,300 rpm. The engine is the lightest V8 in the world, weighing less than the previous M3's inline-six."
The M3 will target the Lexus IS-F, Audi RS5, and Mercedes CLK63 AMG.
A convertible version is set to come out late 2008, but who cares about that.

Road Test: Ferrari F430 Scuderia
"The new car can count on an extremely low weight-to-power ratio of just 2.45 kg per hp thanks to a low dry weight of just 1250 kg - 100 kg less than the F430 - and to the naturally-aspirated 4308cc V8's 510 hp at 8500 rpm"

"Just when it seems that Porsche might have lost its soul building SUVs and planning the forthcoming Panamera four-door, the company announces a car like the new 530-horsepower 2008 Porsche 911 GT2 and vividly reasserts its claim to being the best builder of sports cars in the known universe"

Fifth Gear: BMW Z4M
The new Z4M is pretty much just the old Z4 but with the M3 engine under the hood. That means 333hp + Miata sized car = very fast. I prefer the M Coupe though.. What do you think?

Fifth Gear: BMW M3 vs. M3 CSL
If you thought the M3 couldn't get any better.. well, it can. I'd take either one of these beauties. But the CSL was limited to just 500 units... rein rown. Cup holders would be nice too.

BMW 1 Series
The poor mans BMW, is now... a BMW. Starting at under $30,000 US, BMW has finally released the 1 series. You can't get any lower then that. If by now you haven't gotten the point, we think it's a little silly to be ruining what was once such a great brand. This being said, the stats are quite impressive. The 135i gets the engine that was once in the 335, producing an outstanding 300 horses. For $5000 cheaper and 70 hp less, the 128i will leave you wishing you got the 335. I think BMW's prestige level just fell a few thousand points, but I'm sure the sales will increase. Now everyone and their mailman can own a 'BMW'.
Buy yours here... if you really want to.
Fifth Gear: Audi R8 vs. Porsche Carrera 4S
