R&T article with the M340i behind an M2

Just read the following Road and Track article that described journalists in the M340i following an M2 around the track in Portugal:

https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...ve-track-test/

One of of the journalists said he had a moment that scared him; I forgot how he worded it. Basically, following the M2 into a corner, the M340i scared him. Plus, the M2 Competition had a manual and the M340i had all wheel drive.

Yes, old news and very unlikely scenario on the street. However, that's what I love about my M3 - effortless performance driving.

M340i is going to be awesome but no match for a real M car!

I live in the Midwest, so my autos stay on... a lot of vermin crossing at night.

Hopefully something a little hacking can fix?????

Laser lights?

I'm new to bmw; can I add laser lights
Or will it void the warranty if it's not oem?

M cars should be standard with laser lights!

I would imagine the next M3/M4 will come with laser as an option.

I do love this line:

"with more than half of M2 buyers opting for a six-speed, even the biggest Grinch in Munich won’t steal that manual. "
