They are badass but I'm not sure how a 3 series car is worth paying $66k for??? I understand I would probably get it for cheaper, but still. That's a head scratcher to me.

The only way an F80 M3 tuned to the same degree takes it is from a 50-60 roll. From a dead standstill no way.

The G80 is going to be insane, however the loss of the DCT, the lower revs, and the grill just ruins it for me sadly.

The M340i is going to be looked back upon in years time as one of the best BMWs of the modern era.

Hmmmm I felt f80 in the upper rpm sucked. I think 3.5 to about 6k where all the fun was. No?

Is it me or you're struggling for grip?

Good for you, my wife found M5 Comp intolerable, go figure...

I hope the new M3 comes w the B&W system.

Not on BM3, it doesn't stop pulling until 7500

BMW is overpriced.

Like eating in Manhattan

3 jumbo shrimp scampi $23 dollars

Hamburger $26 dollars

Why ?

Judging from the video, the car hooked pretty well. I don't think it needed more grip...

, but you don't seem to be maximizing the available power of the CS. Your revs are rarely above 5500RPM. That's where they need to be kept to maximize the power output of the S55 .

I'm struggling for grip. I was on street tires with the shoulders almost worn out. I replaced them the next day.

Thanks for the input! I felt like lack of power wasn't my biggest limitation with such a wide power band, but I'm no expert.

Whats the story with a stage 2 tune? Is a DP really necessary? Or is it just recommended for maximum HP gains? Any other downsides for Stg 2 and stock DP?

LOL. It annoys me when people make this comment. Comfort does not mean tolerance.

Any M car is objectively less comfortable than the non-M variant - it's a night and day difference.

Let's clarify. Why? The suspension?

It's not just app, it's a device + app.

Sure. Regardless, Any M car is just tuned differently than the base model where comfort/ride quality is sacrificed. When people say there's little to no difference in comfort, what they're really saying is I don't mind it and can tolerate it so it makes no difference to me.

Some fragile egos in here, sheesh

These things really move, might have to tune our B58 as well...

True. It makes little sense though when someone says they got a 3 series for comfort then gets aftermarket suspension.
