Re: AW E92 M3: Dutch Test Video
Ok, small transcript:
The guy calling the car's telephone was asking for a ride in the new M3, but he was too late; they were already on the Autobahn in Germany....
He says at 273 km/h the rev limiter kicks in, and then the car falls back to 270 km/h, and then you go to 273 again....
'The car is revving to 8400 rpm!!!! Craaazzyy!!! Faaaasst!'
'I expected the car to be sork of 'weak' in a high gear, but that is not really the case. When driving 80 km/h in 6th gear, it is easy to pull very smoothly away'
'BUT, when you start to rev the car a little more, you notice how much the engine really likes that'
'in-cre-di-ble'
Some technical stuff we all can say in our dreams already (hp, Nm, power buttons, etc)
Rev-matching works more smoothly when the Power button is turned ON
The difference in settings is pretty noticeable. On 'hard' setting, they agreed the car's pretty rough
ESP settings: on, off and M dynamic mode. M dynamic mode let's you, he says, take the car for a little drift before ESP taks over. Much fun!
'Something personal from me: I think this latest M3 is just
in looks'
In the last part he is talking what he would have to do to be able to buy one of these cars.....
D) it honestly looked like they were standing still!! Before I forget, the camera man did the damn thing! He could teach some of the best a thing or two about how to maximize the shot!
