At the risk of spoiling everyone's fun, I'll give you an early xmas gift lifeline: read what they said more carefully. They said the E9X exhaust doesn't sound great, but the intake/motor do. They are like two different parts of the car dude.

The 'active sound' is intended to help the lack of intake noise on the turbo F8X (not because 6 banger, but because turbos block the intake sound)

I don't agree at all. Only in your head was what you stated a fact.

Man when you come online, you have to realize 1 thing.

People wants a TL;DR line because everyone skims and doesn't read the entire article.

Well that's because some people are so hung up on subjective things and tend to ignore all the objective things.

Glad you care about noise so much.

Ah, I don't think so. E9X Certainly doesn't have active sound and the intake sound is so much better. This is a fact. Will always be. Anyone who disagrees is just a BMW F80 fan boy.

Go F80 Go!

Ummmmmmmm OK!!!!

Thanks! Those are the CCB's. Not a perfect match to AY, but I hope they look that good in real life! car is on its way, and should be here in February. Will post pic's.

You're going to love this car and AY. Keep AY clean, and on a sunny day, or at night - this color will blow your mind...

I see that the latest C&D comparo has not been posted yet. I won't spoil it, but wow.

Ahh, I see.

I took a quick look, but I didn't see anything.

It's not real. First they blame CP (and I agree) and then they say they had to clear error codes teice and then place car 1st? Give me a break

Yeah, I don't subscribe to C&D BUT if someone scans that article to a new thread I will add the results to this topic with a link to that other thread.

myzmak · 02-08-2017, 04:48 PM

I've now added the latest C&D comparison.

To update the overall running, the chart is below.

Name: M3 comparisons - February 2017.png
Views: 1070
Size: 82.9 KB

Name: M3 comparisons - February 2017.png
Views: 1070
Size: 82.9 KB

To summarize that, with 58 comparisons under belt it is now a winner 62% of the time (same % as when I last updated in November)

Still batting .500 in the UK, but way ahead in USA (won 13 of 19) and rest of the world (won 10 of 13)

It has won 3/4 vs Alfa, 11/21 vs C63S and 4/7 vs ATS-V. The americans like the ATS-V, the British like the C63 and the only loss to the Alfa was that last comparison in C&D

Edit: oh, and since this is a new entry, it is batting 1.000 against the M2 (2 comparisons, beat it both times)

Agamemnon · 03-04-2017, 05:36 PM

Road and Track have a comparison test out now. M3 vs C63s vs Alfa. Just glanced at it at the drug store. They tested them on the track. The M3 and C63s did well. The Alfa's tires went off quickly and handling suffered. So the Germans came out on top with the C63s seen as the best to own as a daily driver. Too cheap to buy the magazine myself. I am sure some nice forum member will scan it in for us cheapos to read.
