[Review]: 2011 BMW M3 vs 2020 UFO

I finally got to test drive a UFO and I would like to give you my thoughts on the two.

Interior: This one goes to the UFO. So much space it was crazy! It was literally the size of a house! I really liked it! The M3 felt cramped compared to the UFO!

Exterior: M3 gets this!. The UFO had a lot of lights. Lights blazing everywhere actually. I didn't like the little bubble at the top where the antenna was(could of used a Shark Antenna) but it looked out of place. The M3 looks timeless, I think. The car flows so well it's uncanny. The way the bumpers and lights wrap around the car, is amazing. The quality on the UFO may of been a tad better but it was a 2020 model year, so that may of had something to do with it.

Performance: The M3's S66 really shines here. Not having to have the afterburners heat up is a real advantage. The S65 takes off real strong but once the UFO has the afterburners on, the M3 doesn't stand a chance. The UFO has a lot of torque and a lot of HP. I think they were aiming for a Veyron when they made this thing. The M3's balance gets it off the line cleanly while the UFO just spins franticly. For a DD, I choose the UFO, for a track tool, M3.

Nothing beats the M3. It's gods gift to man and I think that it's simply the best car in the world. It does everything right and has absolutely no flaws. In this comparo, it even beat a inanimate vehicle from the future. Those Aliens gatta get back to the drawing board because the M3 is still king and always will be.


Thanks for reading.

The main problem with the UFO is the probing. Other than that, I'd take one.

Cool review.

Some people never come back from those reviews, you know; but generally they live in trailer parks.

Thrust lag is huge. They need to work on that.

Just needs an extra flux capacitor to combat that issue.

It's a very expensive option! Could go aftermarket...Hmm, time to get a Dinan Tuned badge...

Gotta pay to play! Dinan badge wouldn't cut it. Would cost you twice as much for half the power.

Typical BMW fanboy review
UFO can travel between galaxies
Can your wimpy ass M3 do that?
Didn't think so!

Nice review. Thanks!

Getting support for UFOs around here is a total beotch, and there are no dilithium crystal stations anywhere near me. Otherwise, I'd ditch my ///M in a heartbeat.

one thing in favor of the UFO is that you only get anally probed once.

with the M3 you get probed every time you fill up...

While UFOs seem to offer decent performance lets not get hasty here. Whats the resale value like? How much are the insurance premiums? How much will the plutonium used to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity needed by the flux capacitor going to run you? Outside of the costs lets face it, plutonium stations are few and far apart and its quite a bit of hassle harnessing electricity from lightning bolts as we all have seen in our younger days when we couldn't afford plutonium.

While the above is true, we would have to know whether it was using the V1 system as you specify or the V2 setup with the Mr Fusion. This would greatly impact both operating costs and purchase decisions.

Thats a good point tech and an important consideration. The V2 Mr Fusion equipped UFO would make a much better daily driver.

I think it was from the previous generation. Wasn't all that effective really. I was only getting 10,000 black holes/year.
