Thanks for sharing! ...now I have a video to show my homie that my E90 stands a good chance against his Maserati! lol

I remember watching that and thinking that some people on the forum will be upset, but I guess not.

The M3 is definitely overmatched, but at least have runs from a dig. From a 5 mph roll, its a huge advantage to those torque heavy cars

I didn't need this video to know that! Maserati is def great for the "push sport button to sound AWESOME" but other than that, meh, even the looks is sort of weird.

No but really, a DCT does make a difference. Would have looked less pathetic as it did pitted against those other beasts. I feel cheated watching that video as an E90 M3 owner :/ lol but great to watch tho

Very entertaining.

I wished they did some timed, non oval course laps to compare with the M3- that would've made the difference.
