Read the rest of the posts; regardless the M2C was not the faster car here.

What can we draw from this video?
Two drivers are driving their respective cars during tourist rides on the Nürburgring. One car is white and one is orange. One is a BMW and the other a Porsche. Both probably had a good time and enjoyed themselves. Driver of Porsche does not go as fast as the car is capable of in some sections (not traffic related). What can't be drawn from this video? How hard BMW driver is pushing in the sections the Porsche driver eases of. Conclusion: Inconclusive due to lack of useable data... 😉 But put same driver in both cars with a max attack lap and the GT3 RS would be quicker. |

That means, in fast corners you would have 2 extra really fat guys in the trunk. If there isn’t any front aero to balance the rear wing, I don’t see how it is actually helpful. I guess that is why the M Performance wing is mostly cosmetic.

The weight distribution on the M2C is front bias so naturally the font sticks better than the rear if running square and one would go for a rear wing first to balance that out. The flip side of that is because of that front bias weight usually the front tyres will overheat first and lead to understeer. A front lip is missing on the car so yes there is still room for more speed from more aero without looking like an all out time attack car. Last edited by Karmic Man; 05-26-2020 at 03:05 AM.. |

It's what I'm always saying - some light modding to M cars, and the latest and greatest GT3's & GT3 RS's are perfectly within reach, and it's drivers skills that tilt the balance in favor of one or the other being faster at the track. And no, that doesn't mean the BMW needs to have a pro driver vs a complete rookie in the GT3 either! But please, do keep comparing ring times and thinking a GT3 should be able to crush an M 'because the spec sheet says so', it makes it so much fun Quote:
And it doesn't seem like others are the ones lost in dark places, perhaps you can be enlightened by reading the M2C owner's comments? Quote:

In general people have to stop their fantasies about car X or car Y and learn to drive whatever they have now. Their cars are not holding them back, it is their driving skills. People feel like they need a 991 GT3 RS to crack 2:10 at the Glen... it's so sad. Their regular M3 with suspension and brakes already accomplishes that. The same thought processes that make a regular M3 owner bow down to the 'unbeatable' GT3 RS is what makes them not push at the track. "oh no my car is too heavy" "oh no I don't have mod X" "oh no my car is not a purpose built sports car" These same drivers one day will scrape together enough dough to buy a 991 GT3 RS and will continue to be pathetically slow.

I can’t see an M2 tuned beating me in a regular GT3 or GT3rs. Just won’t happen and I’m not a good driver neither. 🤣😂🤣 🔥 🔥 |

Just looking at the still pic of your video post makes me really appreciate where BMW was not too long ago design-wise. The front fender flare and overall design are awesome!!! Makes you instantly recognize the vehicle as a BMW . . . for all the right reasons. Not to mention, it is not the size of tank. Just a stunning piece of machinery. I have not watched the video as of yet - I will though - but I have no doubt that baby is a racer. ///AVM |
