Does the E90 M3 plow a bit in turn?

Richardzy · 05-10-2015, 09:52 PM

I've driven both the E46 M3 and E90 M3 and it seems to me the front end of the E90 sort of plows a little on tight turn whereas the E46 feels a little more balance getting the rear around. My E90 is a sedan so it may bit a bit higher off the ground so maybe that's where the feeling comes from. Does anyone have similar experience?

Maybe he understeered into this forum. With a bit of throttle he could have stayed in the E9x forum.

If you put a GTS lip on it, it will plow a lot in turns.

Drives i3 which most certainly understeers less than a Prius.

I thought I'd never see a car more ugly in my eyes than a Prius. Then I saw the i3. Now I just dream of a world where jaguars run wild.

Audis plow not M3s. Very mild understeer for a fleeting moment, yes. Plowing? No

You're wrong in this. Ever damn morning I have to take the Audi I wait for it to blow my mind, blow me up, to blow me (sure would explain why I have one) and nothing blows. Ever.

Sadly, this has been my experience with every other Audi we've ever had also. Steering does happen in the smaller rs shits as well as in my boat. You just do it while going very slowly.

Because I was bored, I shredded the tires in mine before it hit 10 000 km. Audis are cool and without any steering issues when parked. True me, or I'll take you out for a spin. You'll never be scared again after it.

Sure it does, give it enough speed and the E92 M3 will keep straight in slow corners. I had an E92 M3.
