The new BMW M3 sure is awaited by many and seems to look good from the pictures. It does 0-60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds according to Car & Driver magazine. I am not a BMW fan but the M3 is respected by many and I cannot disagree.
However members on the SLK boards have done 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds in their SLK55's. According to Car & Driver in their previous test the SLK55 did 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds and reached the 1/4 mile in 12.7
Here is the link to the test, enjoy the pics
