Can anyone here hang with a 2K2 M3?
My cousin was coming over to pick up some stuff from my house. He tells me that on the way to my house a 2k2 Maxima tried to race him (my cousin has a 2k2 M3). He says he could hear the engine hitting the higher rpm's so he knows the max is trying. Anyway, he lets the Max catch up then guns it; did this about the three times. Basically the Max doesn't even stand a chance. Funny thing is that the Max is still at it all this time. My cousin was like, what's the point? The worst part is my cousin said that the Maxima still had dealer plates. I'm like WTF? Doesn't this guy break in his car?

E46 M3s are no doubt awesome cars, but you have to expect that kind of trouble when pumping out that many hp/liter NA no matter what car, especially when it's a BMW.-Cyrus

They are fast. I think my C5 can beat one but my Maxima can't even dream of it. They are ~low 13 quarter cars stock when they are not in the shop.

Of all the people who bash M3's, I wonder why that is. That's like when girls hate another girl for being beautiful and getting all the guys. Makes no sense.

Your going to need a 100 shot of Nitrous or some major boost to beat an E46 M3. My friend ran a 13.3 at his first time at the track. A few guys on this board are capable of beating one in a straight line. No Maxima on this board will hang with one at a road course.

Your C5 is fast, but it would get smoked badly by a Z06 or Cobra. Unless you have head/cams your C5 isnt anything special.

Looks like the fastest Maxima around is still in the hands of someone who can handle it!-Cyrus

I highly doubt it was a M5. It was most likely a 540i 6spd like you said.

Even if you drove as fast as an M3, while his car is hugging the road the max would be beyond its limits, and that's not a good thing.

Now that's what I'm talking about. To fully appreciate automobiles, you must note the strong points and weaknesses:
M3 goodies:
- Crazy speed
- Crazy torque
- Handles like on rails
- Sleek styling
- Sport button (oh so fine)
- Stiff chasis
- TCS,Anti-lock, etc (all the computer stuff)
- Fun to drive (this is what you buy this car for)
M3 baddies:
- Gets SUV MPG
- $55K? please
- Maintenance costs $$$
- Don't miss that "Castrol" oil sucka
- Only 2 doors (Well it's a sports car)
- mfailure.com (not a good sign considering the ratio of peeps that actually drive M3's to problems posted.)
- Engine so powerful yet seems fragile.
I'm sure everyone here can note the good things and bad things about the Maxima. But I tell you one thing: I've had my car for 8 years now (95 SE) If I had a choice to go back in time and buy a car, I would buy the same car. No doubt that I love the Maxima engine. That is why the 3.5L version is in more than 50% of cars Nissan sells including the 350Z and Infiniti V6 cars.
