CarMag 2008 M3 Review - Page 3

It appears they have done the same thing as they did with the Z4 M. When they tested that car in Topgear, clarckson drove it on the road, just like any other car and thought it was soft. Hammond drove it on a track like his pants were on fire and thought it was damn hard core. However, it still was the same car. Sounds damn great to me, bigger potential customers without losing the hardcore fans.

We need EVO and/or Sport auto.

How can the steering be inferior to the M5's ?!

It's not inferior, he just thinks it's too light, which is a personal thing. He wants it to be more muscular. But hey what do we get from this video: great for on the road and I'm confident it will be even better on the track.

__________

I must admit a 4 star rating is below par for an M3. The E46 M3 got a 5 star rating at every review I have ever read. So a 4 star review on the first ever review is not what we exspected.

SO it is dissapointing I must admit to read this. I still think it will be an amazing car, however compared to the exciting & hugely entertaining E46 M3 I think I will now buy an E46 for at least £20,000 less! Based on buying a late 2005 M3 e46 for £30,000 against the £50,000 plus about £5K for extras! Seems like I am buying quite a bargain!

I'm open minded though, & hopefull it's not gone to soft.

Must admit though the E46 M3 was a very, very hard act to follow. It's still head above the rest based on FUN factor alone in my opinion, & that includes 911's, I have had 2 including a Turbo, also driven the New M5, yes very fast, but I hate the auto gearbox, the 335i was more fun & entertaining in my opinion & have to say the E46 M3 is more FUN, practicle, & great to look at, than all the others.

Can't we merge this thread with the other Car magazine countdown thread? Conversation on this new M3 is all over the place.
