m3 vs
To overtake a car on a track day does not prove anything as the car in front could have been driven by a pussy!
People talk about handling who have not got a clue what makes a car handle well in the first place.
The bmw 3 series range has always had a huge design advantage in its 50:50
weight distribution which makes it so much more balanced on road or track than any porsche can hope for.
I have owned and driven many porsche's and enjoyed them a lot and to get the best from them is a good challenge.But a car that allows itself to be driven fast with ease will always win a handling test and races too.
Afew years ago bmw entered the nurburgring 24 hour race two years running wit am m3 v8 the gtr and won so convincingly witn 500 bhp and a five speed manual box and was pitted against audi porsche etc etc and many of those with a lot more power and sequential gearboxes but the bmw's just blitzed all the competion due to the driveability of the car.
