BMW has added another sporty car to its India lineup

BMW has added another sporty car to its India lineup. But it is two-door coupe with 420 bhp available for the right foot to play around with. Ladies and gentlemen, BMW have launched the M3 coupe, and although it isn't cheap (Rs 74 lakh!), it surely is fast. The 4.0-litre V8 propels the car to 100 kph in 4.8 seconds and a restricted top-speed of 250 kph. De-restrict it (which BMW can do for a fee)and it can do northwards of 280 kph. BMW hopes to sell a couple of these in 2008, not enough to disturb Tata and the One lakh car, but enough to make Audi and Mercedes sit-up and get their sportier RS and AMG variants.
