I think its a step down from the E46... not sure, yes each component, (fender, bumper etc) all look invidually nice, but together.. just doesnt have the oommph. Well atleast the E46 M3s will go down a bit in price, maybe might see more second hands, always liked one as an everyday performance car.

However, they are made from the 5.4L V8 from the Mustang Cobra R. This engine is part of the Modular V8 family and when it was developed into a 3 valve from a 2 valve it was called the triton. The engine is a truck/car engine Ford America seems to throw it into a number of its vehicles, including its F-Series trucks which include the F-150. Ford Australia gets the mustang block and a few other "good" components from the US, combines it with a few locally designed and made parts and puts it all together. So yes its not 100% American but its foundations are. The M3 foundations are from F1. Like Tom said there is a huge difference in budgets. If Ford US let FPV and Prodrive make their own V8s I'm sure it would be a lot better. They currently have to work with what they get.

Bavarian perhaps, but I think the part where its said he doesnt get why a BMW can get more power has fueled abit of the debate. Of course they are going to, one is a poor mans performance car (ie 'bang for your buck') produced on a budget while the other has endless reserves to draw in from and using the latest technology! FPV and to a lesser extent HSV do a good job for what they are (hey even TRD who are even more limited really), dont get me wrong, but Im not suprised why they get all that power out of a smaller engine just like Im not suprised how the Lexus IS-F and LF-A do similar things with less displacement.
