How about this for an answer: I lost a race in the new 414-hp, V-8 M3 last week to a diesel. I pulled up to a red light next to my photographer's six-cylinder, automatic-transmission 530d station wagon. When the light turned green, I dumped the clutch from 2000 rpm and floored it. And the automatic diesel station wagon dusted my M3 off the line. I didn't catch up until 60 mph.

Excuse me, but....



Whatever, sure. A 530d A Touring is faster than the new M3.

Sure, son.

No, not yet, we hope to see them in 2008 or at the latest in 2009.
