" The new m3/4 I supposed to be down to e46 weight and in the videos I've seen it sounds really raspy similar to the s54. From what I gather it seems like it's going to be an e46 with torque "

FYI he is using a GT3582R turbo which should be capable of 600hp. He could probably step to a GT4088R or something similar to get in the 700+ range. "

This is in the $1000-$2000 category as well, and I think most people would be interested in this as its a modification with few tradeoffs, especially the LSD.
I like this ideas! "

In fact Eleventeen went smaller then most of the single turbo setup which may help the lag in comparison to a turbo pushing 700-900. Oh and he built it himself which again makes a world of difference to me and some since it gives us DIY's a glimmer of hope in achieving similar results.

Don't get me wrong this is cool though

Thats a lot of power. And thats a mess of mixing different measurements lol. Then instead of nibbles and bits we can get into pony power. "

Sticky created the thread F33 4-Series 435i cabrio/convertible rendered and looking good.
" The 4-Series overall is a nice design if more evolutionary than revolutionary. With the recent official reveal of the F32 4-Series coupe it follows that naturally the F33 Convertible model will follow. This rendering is well done and the car definitely looks good with the top dropped. The artist got the rear correct along with the wheels, exhaust, diffuser, basically everything. It would be nice to see the car from a front angle as well but overall well done.

Expect the F33 to start production 4 months after the F32 according to the leaked production chart. Additionally, do not expect it to have any 'xi' all wheel drive variants at least not this year.
