People I know who own the new M3's average around 15MPG, of course this is not motorway MPG, but usual too and from work, odd country road blast, maybe bit of dual carriage way.
In the M3 CSL I was averaging 16-18MPG, the new V8 M3 does drink more. Stick it on the motorway in top gear and the new M3 is not bad, should see close to 30MPG return from cruising around 80mph.

it's a 'proper' V8, sd opposed to the limited. i imagine. V8 in the beemer. their inline 6s sound great when revving though....
ok i admit it... i have a soft spot for the 'stang.

Yes the Mustang sounds better at idle and moderate acceleration, but WOT and the M3 sounds better, fantastic intake noise from the M3 which the Mustang does not have.
I can't explain the ferrari, i can only imagine that it is because there are not many about and those that do have them don't crash them.
Evo 10 - Try a JDM import...

I see roughly 1 mustang per 6 months. M3's however....
BMW 335i
To insure a Mustang you need to call A-Plan or MCE, they specialise in such cars.
For example:-
Mustang with mods declared with 577BHP was £550 per year.
M3 CSL was £680 per year.
EVO X is £850 per year.
Insurance companies hate Japanese cars, oddly the most powerful car the Mustang was the cheapest to insure and those above prices are all with A-Plan who I use for my car as they always price match online companies and give excellent service.

Think he is mixing a ferrari 355 with a bmw 335i
It's easy done, I get it all the time.
Both said I was under 25, so they wouldn't touch me with a barge poll
this is normal with specialists
The insurers who advertise on the VXR forums (chris knott) wont touch you on a VXR unless you're over 25. Even when i moved to the volvo, they were still the cheapest for me this year.
