The old model beat a Porsche but the new model losses to a Porsche, new model is therefore inferior.
Lol yes exactly.

Review from South Africa.

http://www.bdlive.co.za/life/motorin...-a-double-dose

Of note:
Quote:
There are also those who are concerned the engine noise will be too muted. I was not a fan of the raspy note of the last generation, but the new one has a throaty roar that, while not the same as a V8, melds well with the nature of the beast. It creates a bit of a drone in the rear, particularly in the coupe which could get annoying if you feel a need to drive from one end of the country to the other.

The diehards will be happy to see that there is still a six-speed manual box available. It is a good box too, with a new over rev similar to the SynchroRev system Nissan introduced on the 370Z. It provides a slight increase to the revs when you push in the clutch to ensure optimum power delivery between gear changes. However, the seven-speed dual clutch will be the preferred choice when it arrives in SA in July.

...who, unlike the South Africans, don't like the noise:

But the noise the M3’s engine makes is not that pleasant even if it’s brutally loud. Unfortunately, you won’t have much of a choice if you’re after a high-performance saloon because the Lexus IS-F and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG — with their fantastic-sounding non-turbo V8s — are not made any more or are running out very quickly in run-down mode, respectively.

I just heard that myzmak has been carted off by a group of Rama's junta. Something about their ears burning, IDK. Will he escape? Will we be seeing him here again anytime soon? :rofl:

You'll have to start a movement to seek my freedom.

Since red-shirts have already been taken, maybe go with green?

Every time I see those masks, I just think of the Zach Galifianakis Between two Ferns interview with Natalie Portman...

Yeah, the Guy Fawkes masks are used in the Thai protests, but they were also used in the movie V for Vendetta (and are generally favoured by trouble-makers everywhere, see, for instance, the Anonymous group of hackers, etc).

That movie starred Natalie Portman.

When Natalie appeared on Behind Two Ferns, Zach asks her (at the end of the interview): "You shaved your head for V for Vendetta, did you also shave your V for ....." (fill it in folks). She looks stunned says "ummmm....pass." I die of laughter.

It really is the best of the BTF episodes.

(and, yeah, sorry if my thought process/pop-culture references tend to jump here there and everywhere all the time....)

That's why we need masks! How do you ever expect us to rescue you successfully?

Yeah, clearly by the recent ones they are ALL in on it, but in those early ones, it was hard to tell and hers is the hardest of all.

Either she is in on it and does a great job of playing horrified, or she wasnt and was genuinely horrified, but either way it kills me every time.

My guess is she was in on it (who brings a dog on set otherwise?)

From another BMW site:

http://www.bimmerfest.com/news/77699...-track-review/


Executive summary: EPS is great, the manual is great, V8 sound was better but that's about it.

"It is the most direct and communicative steering to date, besting my E46 M3 hydraulic rack with ease. BMW M set out to prove that EPS could be done right and they have and then some."

"The 6 speed manual is the best I've driven from BMW."
