clumsyalex · 05-19-2011, 01:09 AM

not surprised by the results, but still a good watch nonetheless

Nice find! E46 takes off a little bit faster, probably due to launch control if it was a SMG II, but when the torque comes in, the 1M kicks his ass

I was expecting a quicker launch from the 1M... The e46 should not have as much torque off the line, right?

The 1M driver blew the launch and bogged. A stock 135i would even beat a e46M3 a 1M should kill it!!

+1...I know from personal experience. Also, there is a video that shows this same race from the e46, and you can see the poor launch performed by the 1M driver.

It is a challenging piece, a triple-X-rated driver's machine for semi-professionals. Its handling balance provides an open invitation to indulge in latent oversteer, and provides an opportunity to separate the men from the boys. It is an absolute hoot on the track and an addictive plaything on your favorite twisty back road. "
