The M3 will win in the looks department though and maybe will end up being faster if they come out with a supercharger or turbo kit for it.
The Mercedes 63 engine already has turbos being developed for it so BMW vendors better step it up.
The 335i is already faster than the E90 M3 with a simple ECU flash, and I doubt it would be THAT much slower around the track then an M3.
We shall see, the numbers will tell all once both are out!

So very wrong on the merc being faster on the track statement. The merc has a nuke of an engine, very much agreed, but the car doesnt handle very well. The bmw is a masterpiece as far as handling goes. Check this following video from this sundays top gear episode (

If i had to choose between those 3, id go for the M3, eventhough it lost ground on the looks department compared to Audi's soon to come A5 / S5. The audi looks amazing, but then again, it lacks in performance with around 100hp less (note: i am NOT talking about the RS4 here)
