comments?

and, what's next for you?

i am not a big fan of BMW brand or the looks of their cars, so i am not likely to go for this.

at the same time, i really like a3's styling (its subtle handsomeness, its stealth powers, its awesome utility), so i can totally see myself getting a new a3 in a couple of years.

but, to dream a little bit, i would like:

a3-like styling (possibly slightly bigger? maybe a _small_ crossover?), DSG-like transmission, all-wheel drive, powerful (200+ hp) diesel engine (or some other engine that's both efficient and powerful). um... sq3??

what's your next vehicle??<ul><li><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/BMW-3-Series/225812/">the article in autocar.co.uk</a></li></ul>

the new M3 is gonna pump out - they must have come up with a "DSG" that can handle it.........that much power would thrash our DSG's

the Bugatti Veyron? That's a seven speed DSG unit as well and it's putting out over 1000HP

VAG's DSG is made by Borg-Warner. BMW's is Getrag.

the DSG in the veyron is ultra expensive.. no way they're using that exact one in the M3.
