Curiously, the E90 M3 seemed to me to least interesting in the canyons and best in the city or at the track. In the city, the E90 could really calm down and coddle. On the track, the S65 engine does its best work and the E90 chassis comes alive and communicates.
I wrote a blog piece on the two cars here.
In my eyes, the E46 is the quintessential M3. The E90, on the other hand, shines because it has the best M3 engine. |
Really good blog. I read this article and particularly liked your review of the performance school 💪
