^ohh my bad...but still.. you all get my point..
what if the C350 and C63 had same torque..
well i would have an avatar like just me.. but reversed..i tell you that..

What if the E63 had way less torque than the previous model it replaced? now that would have sucked big time... would you change your avatar for that too?

^what if it sets a gr8 time ..better than both the RS4 and C63.. but they still complain..it does not have feed back..
and maybe even say that the others are more fun to drive..
( i know it cant happen.. )

You are honestly worried about this??? If anything, driver feedback and 'fun to drive' will be better than C63. The C63 however might be faster, but I doubt it'll be able to beat an M3 on the Ring. I doubt that very much

< 8.10 sounds very good.

Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

a little.. the reviews say that the steering feel is not up to par..
so yes im worried..
why not listen to them.. they have driven it..
and stop just assuming that beacuse its a bimmer it cant lack feedback..??

about my question.. ?? lets say that happend ( even though its near impossible in your mind) would you be happy with that??.. only if killed the rest around the ring??

C63 is using same tires as RS4, meaning semi-R-tires so dont be so sure Klier.

One interesting that Steved pointed out. I realize that it's 1 vs many reviews but still:
There was nothing wrong with the steering. I drove my M3 CSL this morning and felt that the E92 M3 had better steering feel.

None of the damp reviews have made any comment thus far about the types of road we were driving on - it was glassy smooth. It takes two elements to provide feel through the steering, tyre and road surface and yet these comments fail to even show consideration of these factors. We identified a slight numbness upon initial turn-in (as I mentioned in my earliest posts) but this varied depending on the road surface, so we did not consider it an indication of poor steering. On roads higher up the hills it felt fine.

I drove there in an Audi RS4 which steered very nicely on the roads down to Marbella, but around the twisty bends of our test route it felt shite (the M3 felt much better). I also read in one of the reviews a comment about the TC light flashing on the M3, and how this reflected on its lack of traction. Ha! We ran both RS4 and M3 up and down the hills at least a dozen times, driving v quickly, and it was the M3 that gained more traction and pulled distance out of tighter corners.

Also keep in mind that almost no one mentined the condition of the roads on the test. It's almost sad that these journalists only had a limited test, say that the car is good, but different from the last M3 and now everyone is jumping on the bandwagon that the M3 is dead. No measuring equipment and most of them no direct comparison to the competitors. I feel sorry for my fellow engineers at M.

I don't care what Autobild or AMS conclusions are. All I care about is Sportauto since they rate the sportiest package highest. If they rate the new M3 over the competition, my whining days are over

Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

ohh so you will go after the over all score that SA gives..
and not only the laptime?

Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

^^^ Wow, heaven The M3 is really in mass production now. There's no stopping anymore, the M3 is coming.

Edit; there are people in Holland who already have their M3. I have seen proof in pictures sevaral times

Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

The color white on luxury cars is bigger than ever. I love it. White was UNHEARD of in the first few years of the M3 E46's life
