That was pretty dope! Can't wait to see what these things can really do, and yes, the sedan wins

The coupe is clearly being overdriven.
I don't think anyone one in a sedan is surprised.

It is so strange to see them driving the Corkscrew in the uphill direction!

thanks, for sharing the video OP
Styling takes time to grow on me. Think what they changed looks worse, front air damn area, side fender scoop, new hood line across front, rear lower bumper area. Might grow on me but right now I don't like it.

I am with you on this. The front end just isn't doing it for me.



OP, thanks for sharing, good video!

Car doesn't do it for me.

And come on the best part about laguna seca is the corkscrew, why would you take it in the wrong direction.

As was the case with the E90/E92, the sedan looks better on account of the shorter and taller rear overhang.

I'm not sure what I think yet about the exhaust note. The burbling sounds cool but it's no V8. I like the styling, the M brakes, and the seats look sick. Not digging the steering wheel. But I'm sure it's going to be an epic car.

I think the M2 might be "epic-er" [sic] for the driver in us...or a tuned M235...with an LSD performance option part...and clip in harnesses.

Not sure how one straps into the new seats without a harness bar.

Anyone got the "first" for calling Schroth and asking when the quick-fit pro is coming out for the M3/4????????

Since the M235i is a coupe, I take it you are giving in and acknowledging coupes are better?

There is always hope that one day this could be true. I am an optimist!
