BMW M3 (E46) vs: BMW M1

Too much talk about it so here it is;

2001 BMW M3

24-Valve DOHC 6-in-line, aluminium block and head
Bore x Stroke 3.58 x 3.43 in (91.0 x 87.0 mm)
Displacment 198 cu in (3245cc)
Compression Ratio 11.5:1
Power SAE net 333 BHp @ 7900 rpm
Torque SAE net 261 lb-ft @ 4900 rpm
Redline 8000 rpm

6 Speed Manual

Curb Weight 3454 lbs.
Price: $49,500 USD (est)

1979 BMW M1

24-Valve DOHC 6-in-line
Displacement 211 cu in (3.5 L)
Power SAE net 266 BHp @ 6500 rpm
Torque SAE net 229 lb-ft @ 5000 rpm

ZF 5 Speed Manual transaxle

Curb Weight 3000 lbs.
Price: (1979) $53,000 USD

There ya go my vote now is still the M3 but, the M1 is lighter and not that far behind in power or torque, my book said its top speed was 162 mph and 0-60 time is 5.5 Seconds, so it really quick for even today's standards
