I always remember mine as being quick, that was coming from a modified r32. But it was about 4 years ago now! I really need to drive one again!!
After your c63 I think most cars will feel like turd!
It's quick enough. I'd say any car that can hit 60mph in sub 5 seconds is quick. Around 11.2s to 100mph so it pulls a bit, too.
There are quicker cars, obviously, but it's no slouch.
Exactly. The game has moved on and cars that shouldn't have a chance, now sadly do. Waiteys 335d for example is probably faster.
The M3 has never been purely about the speed, and I've always found its deceptive how fast they actually are. When you're peddling it down the road it doesn't feel greatly faster than something like a Clio, as the powerband is so linear.
It didn't feel quick, i'm not saying it isn't a quick car, that would be silly.
Back peddling! That's exactly what you said.
I do know what you mean though, as said above the speed is deceptive, and compared with certain cars they're not particularly fast but that just proves how much the market has moved on, often turbos or a monster engines (c63/ e92 M3).
The performance offered is far too much for the UK roads if we're honest, and it would probably make more sense to have something boosted for that low range torque that makes drives that little bit more effortless, but when you do want to loose the plot a little bit: engage sport mode, turn traction control off, rev to the limiter in each gear, it really is like driving a BTCC car with a numberplate.
