Respect to the M3.

OK OK...

So after I had a little fun with the 645 the other day. I had to Give BMW and a good friend/coworker of mine some props.

He just bought what could be the first 2011 M3 in North FL...

And OMG it is one impressive car...

I LOVE my THR Camaro... No doubt about it... and I don't even think (ignoring market value) that I would trade cars with him....

But HOLY CRAP! I get it... That car is nearly perfectly engineered. Granted I could have almost 2 Camaros for the price of the M3 or one extremely built Camaro... (Speedster ) ... for that amount of money.

I'm here to tell you there is nothing in that car that isn't better than good.

Now for the meat of the order.... Can it beat a Stock SS..... I'm thinking Yes... It's almost as heavy and has real similar power 400hp+. But the engineering in this car will make up for any driver mistake that the Camaro won't... If I remember correctly the tranny has 15 different settings. Throttle control adjustment, no delay in the paddle shifter, NONE. The car does whatever you think it to do. In my opinion it make the driver feel separated from the car because the car never feels unsafe or out of control. I like the seat of the pants feel in the camaro. But holy crap it's quick and handles like it reads your mind...

So anyway. As a car lover I was compeled to give it some props. And the owner is a friend of mine. I made sure to ask if he got the BMW owner's labotomy option, he said he didn't. But he seems to be drinking more starbucks lately....


PICS!
