Yes - this was one of the early E92 M3s that Sport Auto tested in their famous Supertest.
But ChrisKs comment was very important!
With the arrival of the competition package and the DCT completely new dimensions in terms of dynamics/speed for the E92 M3 came up.
In the latest comparison with the Audi RS5 the M3 with DCT + competition package did the same laptime with
normal tyres on the Hockenheimring as the 2007 M3 in the Supertest with
semi slick tyres. Insiders know what this means -> that would translate to a speedgain of more than one second at Hockenheimring if the 2010 M3 DCT/Competition had been also equippped with semislicks.
So if Horst Saurma (Supertest driver of SportAuto) would redo the Nordschleife tracktest with an 2010 DCT M3 with comp package it would for sure run in
under 8 minutes.
And this would leave a not so small gap to the 1M
