Sounds quite reasonable. It sure would be great to have an estimate, even a crude one, of how much faster...

It is near impossible to determine what impact, if any, the resurfacing had anyway other than anecdotal stuff. Unless you drove a car prior to and then the exact same car, same driver, after how can anyone tell? I wonder if anyone has actually timed the same car before and after? This discussion is like a merry-go-round... it never ends

As I recall...
When the E46 M3 broke in late 2000 - I got one of the first ones in Canada - it was quicker than the current 996 Carrera S. Oh how the times have changed.

No, I did not put any words in Andy's mouth. It was a lunchtime chat by Andy (plus another BMW works driver) about a whole load of stuff. Audience of about 60 people, MC with a microphone. I said nothing, but had a little inward chuckle at the timing of his statement. No, instead all your sarcastic sniping, why don't you just see the logic of my statement - the only meaningful comparison is - same driver/same day. And end of the old line, versus start of the new line. Don't obfuscate with the M3GTS stuff either, as it is irrelevant in the context of series production cars. Likewise the crap about the next improved version of F8x M3. Best of the old series production v best of the new series production. Simple. |

The M3 GTS only served as an example on how much effort it took for the E92 platform to go 4s faster than the F82 (and the GTS was tested in 2010 on a track that is closer to the 2014 "tarmac spec" than the E92 M3 supertest from 2007 ). |

I think we should start a campaign to write SportAuto to do this comparo, would be great for magazine sales and would be a very informative comparison, no matter what the ultimate outcome.

So it's much about the tyres, we knew that already. And logically the tarmac/asphalt composition as well as we found out.
What about the driver Edit I see that's what we re discussing already. Let it be then Afaik it was Christian in the M4(?) and it was Horst back then in the E92 M3. Fwiw Cheers Robin |

Interesting that SA has the P 911s faster in 36m slalom; in Auto Motor und Sport (June 2014) the M4 faster (151.7 vs. 147.8 kph) in their slalom dodge test.

Two different cars and drivers yes. AMS used a black (?) 6MT and Sportauto a ymb 7DKG.
BTW topictitle says Hockenheim Short 1:12.18. Too much credit for the M4. It's 1:12.8 They also stated: A E92 M3 6MT did 1608kgs back then, that's only just 15kgs difference with the M4 6MT. Cheers Robin Last edited by Robin_NL; 06-21-2014 at 01:21 AM.. |

Wow, how the heck did this M4 do so poorly on the ring? Official lap time of 7:52!
The 2013 Shelby GT500 which is insane in straight line managed to do it in 7:39. Maybe this isnt the place for this, for years I owned BMW and modified them through Hartge and ran them often on the Ring, I moved back to the USA this year and was checking up on the new M's and was just suprised. I think they look very nice although the exhaust sound doesnt not sound throaty like a M should.

7:52 is terrible, don't know why BMW even bothers.

Really? You do understand that just because someone finds flaws in the car doesn't mean they shouldn't get it. If that was the case, we would all be walking. All the OP said was he thought it would do better on the "Ring". Some cars do great on the "Ring" and some not quiet as great. I thought the Stingray forum was bad for people automatically jumping on someone that finds a flaw in the car, let's not let this forum go in the same direction.

For a car that was supposed to match the GTS in performance and that the B3 Alpina GT had a faster time with lower bhp, would have thought that ~470 bhp should have cracked the 7:4x mark. 7:52 is nonetheless a great time for a sedan.
