What We Don't

-Pending further review
 
BMW's high-performance M3 returns for 2008 with V-8 power and a four-door model, which hasn't been available since 2000. Now in its fourth generation, the M3 serves as a more powerful version of the 3 Series, with a 414-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-8, six-speed manual transmission and aggressive styling common to BMW's M cars. Competition includes the Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG, Lexus IS-F, Audi RS 4 and Chevrolet Corvette.  Read More
