If you want perspective, here's something to add posted by Jason in February 2008.
It's also something for the apologists whining about the F82 being compared to the 991S.
The E92 is compared to the 911 Turbo, the Nissan GT-R and the Audi R8.
Pretty unfair huh? Well it gets a 2nd place and overall best motor and track entertainment...
This is what BMW has spoilt us with in the past so fair or not the expectations on an M3 is high.
Personally I find this notion that 'it's happened before so it's ok" to be, well pathetic to be honest.
