Put it on the newer cup2 and it will be lower again, the fast times the FWD hatches have being setting was on cup 2's. Which is a very sticky tyre for dry/wet use on track.

yes, but that argument can be used on competing machinery.

Worse thing of all is the M3/M4 has lost its roots. High revving power plant. They should have just produced a branch off vehicle like Porkie does and the brilliant AMG's.

I mean even a decent hot hatch will keep it humble is telling you they have lost their edge big time.

The time only means so much, but if Porsche can still build a screaming NA GT3 engine, why can't BMW.

In the E46 era, the M3 was hands down the KING. E90/92 Era, AMG was coming fast and furious, now the AMG's seem to have clobbered it where it matters and even the dull Audi's are surpassing it. Those RS models aren't half bad nowadays. I guess owning lambo helps them abit.

Yea its new and pretty, but its lost its USP. Not only that, it didn't innovate and capitalize on its market lead. Shame on Bimmer and ///M division.
