We ordered a 2001 Laguna Seca Blue M3 two-door equipped with the Cold Weather ($700) and Luxury ($3100) packages, as well as adjustable-width seats ($500), xenon headlights ($500), a CD player ($200), and a Harman/Kardon sound system ($675). Would this engine, which produces 102.6 horsepower per liter, survive everyday use? Your humble servants on Hogback Road resolved to find out. This most exotic version of BMW's in-line six displaced 3246cc and revved to 8000 rpm, developing a peak of 333 horsepower-enough to slice a second from the old M3's 0-to-60 and quarter-mile times. Then came the next-generation M3 in early 2001 with its hot-blooded Euro motor.
