Fortune: 2008 M3

Dmitriy@AUTOcouture · 05-22-2008, 02:12 PM

Gotta love how close women sit to the steering wheel. Looks like she belongs in a Chrysler Town & Country.

irks me every time they call CF the carbon fibre reinforced plastic that BMW uses for the roof.anyway, one more thumbs up for the bimmer.

The proper driving position seems unnaturally close to the wheel (learned that from the BMW driving school). Once you get used to it, it really works well.... Butt.....

You're right. Looks like my mother in the car. Rammed under the steering wheel.

BMW F22 · 05-22-2008, 02:26 PM

She doesnt seem that enthusiastic. IMO a review should be longer with more driving time. She took about 2 minutes describing the M3 and about 10 seconds of clip driving it- that didnt show off much for the car.

bonsai · 05-22-2008, 02:31 PM

She sucks. I couldn't watch the whole thing because I cringed at how uncomfortable she seemed with anything automotive.

Maybe she's just not good in front of the camera....

TiAg335i · 05-22-2008, 02:35 PM

I feel asleep during this shit. How can you possibly make an M3 seem boring? She apparently managed to do it.

dhan · 05-22-2008, 02:38 PM

that was painful to watch. she sounds like shes trying to read us a book and improv-ing as she goes along.

Many people, usually men, sit too far. Check out how close racers sit. You should be able to have your wrist atop the steering wheel with your arm bent at the elbow to ensure full control.

That's true for "proper" performance driving technique. Doesn't look "cool" though.

It won't matter how bad she crashes - the Airbag will kill her long before the impact!

+1, she was horrible. I don't want to say that women shouldn't review cars, because there are some that know what they are talking about, but SHE shouldn't review cars because she seems very bad at it, be it because she has no clue what she's talking about, or just because she adds too much drama like she's acting.

toughluck · 05-22-2008, 03:41 PM

I want my two minutes back.

Horrible video.

noro · 05-22-2008, 03:44 PM

I just posted this review on the E30 m3 board... imagine the reactions there.

That was terrible. Remove this thread.

OMG, horrid enthusiasm, lines seem decidedly memorized and drives the car around the supermarket corner to conclude this is a beast. Absolutely terrible advertising!!!

lol seriously.

Davo2003 · 05-26-2008, 04:45 PM

Someone used up a favor to get her that job. Connection connections connections, thats what its all about.

phoenixbmwlife · 05-26-2008, 04:54 PM

Damn you weren't kidding she really is way up there lol.

Gosh I cant help but laugh and shake my head every time someone talks about the new M3 as being lighter, and emphasizes all the light weight stuff they used i.e., carbon fiber roof, lighter engine etc. Yet its still heavier than an E46 lol

Oh well I still love it.
