IIRC the time for the E46 M3 CSL is on Micheliin Sport Cup tires. the full on R tire.. not Michelin supersports which are a street tire. Quote:
Agree with you @bradleyland about the fact that weight has not been a major concern at BMW M - interesting to see Chevy get in the game more. For starters, Chevy trimmed a lot of fat. In fact, the V6 model is 294 pounds lighter than last year’s car, the V8 223 pounds less and the new turbo four 390 pounds lighter than the last V6. General Motors did this using aluminum where possible, and the car sits on the Cadillac ATS’ rear-drive chassis, making the Chevy’s body-in-white 20 percent lighter than when it sat on the old Zeta platform. No part was left unchecked: The wheels are a half-inch wider but 6 ounces lighter, and extra threads were trimmed off long bolts.

I've come to the conclusion that Long Beach Blue > Yas Marina Blue ....it's more closer to my all time favorite Laguna Seca Blue

But it will not be faster, that's for sure. Worse track car than the F8x. Much worse than the Mustang 350. The main reason for its existence is to provide an entry into the M world at a lower price point. It will provide the full on M experience, of that I have no doubt. And I do hope it will bring more of the younger generations into our world. I hope many of you guys will take delivery in Munich, because this will be a blast to drive around in the mountains in Europe.

But at least you'll have a nice comfy pad for your knee on the trans tunnel for those mega left handers!

I don't know if this will bring more of the younger generation. but it will get a lot of new buyers into the BMW fold and it will also allow some old time fogeys holding onto older models to re-buy in. Case in point is a guy like myself that jumped from E30 to 1M... and many people will probably jump from their 18-20 year old E36 M3s or slightly younger E46 M3s to be able to buy their firs M Car BRAND NEW. If BMW North America REALLY wanted to throw the younger generations here a bone they would have a 1 series hatchback on the lots here to compete with cars like the Wrx, Focus, Golf R. Audi , Hyundai Veloster, etc.. The X1 and X2 aren't enough Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 10-16-2015 at 04:54 PM.. |

This thread is LOOOONG so.... Anyone know if the head restraints are adjustable? I don't drive a 2 series and aren't sure if these seats are the same or not, but it would be great if they were. Better for track/helmet use vs DD.

Yes it was.
Edit: actually I'm not sure. I just know I saw it already but not necessarily here.
