Default OT:BMW M3 V8 -> USD 225000

It is only going to be 350Hp due to the noise and on road restriction.

Question: what's the point??
If I buy the M5 and M3 is will not even cost me close to that..

Rip-off or worth it?

Default I thought the CSL was going to be around $75,000. the GTR is $225,000

the CSL is supposed to cut 440 pounds off the M3, similar to what they are saying for the GTR. both are supposed to have "over 350 hp." though the V-8 will surely have more low end torque. there must be other changes that are less apparent.
