Is it me, or did neither car seem like it was moving very fast? At least compared to other airstrip videos I've seen.

It did "appear" to be slow. But, relative velocity is what matters, and you can hear the car grabbing up to 4th gear.
Impressive, although I would never methanol inject a daily driver.

I have a couple.


As far as E92's I only got to run the fastest one out there a couple times. It was a 6MT AA Stage 3 S/C E92. I have some footage of me racing him on Map 2 with 91/e85 mix alone and then again with my 200+lb buddy in the car with me but with me running Map 7 with 109. I am also 6MT. On map 2 he took me by about a length and a half and on Map 7 he took me by about a length. Without my friend in the car, I think it would have been a driver's race.

For reference, Terry said he was trapping 155.xxx consistently. I was trapping 156.3 max on Map 2 and 157.xx on Map 7 and by myself. I was just told by AW BMW that he was trapping 158.xx so it's pretty close. Ill upload the videos soon. AW BMW was at the event as well and happened to see both runs.

I keep hearing that, but not a single person IRL has anything bad to say about mine, or even mine when it was stock with the valves open.

It's no S65 sound, but its also not a bad sound either.

i am sure most people are going to hear a loud sporty sound and say thats cool.

but for people who are bigger car enthusiasts, and have been/heard many different cars. There judgement might be different. IMO its badass when you hear a full exhaust V8 M3, that can match the sound of modern muscle cars.

I will say this though. I am looking into ordering a new car this winter. I have been stopping by my local dealership to test drive a M3. IMO I have never heard a BMW I6 that i thought sound really good, although i have heard some 335i at car meets. Never thought they sounded bad. I just prefer a screaming V8 or V10 sound. And maybe a GT3....

I can see that. Give me S85 sound in my car and I would be ecstatic.

I don't know what happened to the spacing on the title slides, but oh well.

Enjoy in HD!

I was at the finishing cones at this event and saw most of the races. The new Ms did real well at the event. Jc's car did really good considering its a 6mt, the car was moving. As far as the exhaust sounds, we all know these new Ms are no s65s but hearing them out in this type of environment they did sound way better than what the videos show, specially the ones with after market exhausts.

LOL I figured you would post something regarding sound.

I've never heard anyone say my car sounds like a Honda. Go out and test drive one, if you think it sounds like a Honda then head over to the Honda dealer and drive a Honda.. Lol you're way off man.

The new platform is a TT inline 6 and for what it is it sounds wonderful. Let's appreciate a bit more how much better the new cars are than the old.

I used to think the same, how could I give up the sound of my catless and Akra exhaust? Went out to test drove one and as soon as I felt that torque I quickly felt in love with it, haven't taken one out on the track but I can't wait to order mine and take it out. The exhaust sounds pretty good actually. Car is a little beast, better in many ways, stiffer, lighter, faster, better MPG...list goes on.

I'll admit it, I was like you in denial, give it time, you'll give in sooner or later.

You will not be disappointed. I ordered mine right after the test drive
