VIDEO: Top Gear reviews M3 vs. C63 AMG vs. RS4 !! (3 parts)

devo · 12-24-2007, 08:24 AM

Thank you so much for posting the vid. I almost didn't believe what I heard, when Clarkson called the M a "Masterpiece".

Aside from the obvious, that this is a BMW forum, I can't help thinking that the M is, by far, the best looking car in that trio.

Did anyone notice how fat that steering wheel looked? It's okay with me, but it did look hefty.

termigni · 12-24-2007, 09:43 AM

I am a strong believer that the M3 (of any era) is the best that BMW has to offer, and it is what BMW stands for in the purest form, including those M5/M6.

Same thing goes to MB with their S class, not the C.

gbb357 · 12-24-2007, 09:43 AM

Wow! Simply amazing, the RS4 looked old, the C63 looked out of control and the M3 dominated.

mhutchins14 · 12-24-2007, 09:51 AM

Simply amazing!!!! Thanks for posting. I feel like going out and buying a bag of apples to have fun with!!!! Wait a minute....oh yeah....we don't even have a price yet.

Cock - o - meter

I love it.

DirtBag335 · 12-24-2007, 10:19 AM

Amazing video, this should help silence all the haters.

stressdoc · 12-24-2007, 10:57 AM

What a great way to enjoy one's AM coffee and a piece of holiday stollen. Thanks for posting. My guess is the result would be similar with a 335, C350, A5/S5, G35/7, Lexus 350 comparo.

carnuts3 · 12-24-2007, 11:05 AM

Wow! I think that this video confirms what everyone here has been thinking about the winner. All I can say is W-H-A-T A C-A-R. Looks like it will be well worth the money!

REP1KRR · 12-24-2007, 12:00 PM

Everyone needs to spend a day and let the Torrent download. Full screen (with great clarity) on a 17" laptop is truly amazing!! YouTube just simply doesn't do it justice.

I too was frustrated by Torrents - until I downloaded FoxTorrent Add-on for Firefox (Tools>Add-ons>Get Extensions>Search for "FoxTorrent")

Install, then click here...

oldaccount · 12-24-2007, 01:00 PM

the song that comes in at the 25 second mark in the first video...what movie is that from?

For some reason im thinking either Harsh Times, or Babel, but I dont think either of those is right.

anyways thanks jason! this saved me from going crazy tonight trying to watch it

Where are the rar links? Can someone technilogically inclined upload this in 3 or 4 pieces to Rapid Share or some other file sharing service? At 1/2 dial up speed I need to click download and wait for the whole file. No chance for You Tube or streaming vid of any kind to work here...

I felt like a proud parent (even tho I don't have one) seeing their child win the championship! We all have so much invested in this car it is unbelievable.
