Hey guys,

I was just curious to know who would win the E46 M3 Convertible or my E60 545 in a race?

I have beaten an M3 E46 before, but it could just be that I'm a good driver

So down to you guys, what do u think?

It would be a very close race, and I think the 545i's 0-60 is just .1 seconds faster on average.
The M3 will probably pull infront of the 545i at launch since it's lighter, but I think the 545i would win (biased )

I wonder if the results will be biased, seeing as though I posted it on an E60 forum. lol!

Oh well.......

Well if you were riding solo and the m3 had a passenger, and if the driver of the m3 doesnt have much experience...Then 545i FTW!

Well, this thread has surprised me. I would have thought the E46 M3 with more BHP and less weight would win it by a comfortable margin. I'm not saying I think y'all are wrong, what do I know. Then again, if the M3 only had manual gearbox available then it has no chance with such an impediment. No way of keeping up with the slick E60 auto/smg shifts unless you really hated your E46 and wanted to bring the gearbox to the scrapyard.
