Boring? Are you serious?



Does that look boring?

Around a track? I'm betting it will be.

I read somewhere that the C63 motor is about the same weight as the 4 liter M. Doesn't make any sense. Has anyone heard anything about this?

Any RWD car can oversteer, I meant the tactile feedback.

Whatever man. Nowhere have I seen any of the reviews say the car was boring.

Go troll somewhere else. Your act is getting old. You're doing the same thing at m3forum.com. Grow up.

My rwd car won't oversteer in anything other than the wet or lift-off. To say any rwd car can power oversteer on demand is a little simplistic.

Unlikely, but not impossible. I haven't heard anything about it.

So one only can participate in the discussion if he thinks that the M3 is the best thing since sliced bread? Last time I checked this IS a place to debate the new M3.

Yeah that should be part of the forum rules! Great idea! Maybe one of the admins can add that part to the rules...

Okay, you're right. But it seems to me that you have a problem with so many of today's cars. Maybe you could tell which "actual" car you like and what points about that car you're fearing the M3 couldn't meet... That would be a better base for the debate that you desire than "OMG, the car gone soft "...

Best regards, south

I like the Renault Sports. The Clio 197 Cup Pack and Megane R26. Both are cheap, ca. 24K and 30K in Europe (probably would have been 18 and 24 in US) the first has a 100hp/liter 4cylinder, buckets. Is light-ish, Brembos etc. Great fun even at very sane speeds. The Megane is basically track ready out of the box. Did I mention they were built in a special factory in Dieppe and were cheap?
Porsches are good cars to emulate. Especially for steering feel.

Renault even organizes track days for owners.

What the heck are you doing here?

The M3 is nothing like a Clio or Megane. Is there a Clio or Megane forum that could benefit from your insight and knowledge? You might be more appreciated there.

You're not debating anything. You're trolling and acting like a child.
