The cars are supposed to be fast and spectacular, while still rather cheap to build and run. All DTM race cars have RWD and 4.0*L V8 engines which are air-restricted to 470*hp, no matter if similar layouts or engines are available in the road cars. Instead of the road car bodies, unrelated purpose-built chassis are used, which are closer to prototype racing. Many drivers have in fact described the handling of the cars as closer to single seater racing cars than road cars. Only the roof sections of the road cars are put on top of the roll cages, and lights and other distinctive design features are used in order to provide a resemblance to the road cars.

I passed by an exit in Germany labeled Ausfahrt when I was up there, the immature me remembered it as "Ass farts" haha

Overall decent review, the guy even talked about the lights when you flip the vanity mirrors over haha.

Doctor///M · 05-15-2014, 01:05 AM

Enjoyed this thoroughly. Fed up of all the drifting reviews without any substance.

jonasaurus · 05-15-2014, 02:49 AM

I enjoyed that review given the real world applicability, funny the part about if you like to eat alot theres enough room with the seat belt

FANBMWM · 05-15-2014, 06:27 AM

Cool, a review full of useful information that actually has some relevance to how I would interact with the car on a day to day basis. Don't get me wrong I like watching pro drivers skid around a track as much as the next guy but that almost nothing to do with what 99.9% of my use for this car would be.

Is it only me? Cabin materials look kind of cheap...

bucket328 · 05-15-2014, 01:11 PM

Best review yet as you get an actual in-depth look at the car, especially for day to day use!

5.28 the sound of it echoing off the mountain is incredible!!! I know sound comes down to personal preference but OMG I just can't get enough of the roar of the S55!!!

2kaccordocoupe · 05-15-2014, 03:53 PM

Those front cup holder look pretty useless, lots of moving around. The e92 holders grip pretty tight and adjust.
Also noticed the rear cup holders are gone, they used to be in the rear fold down arm rest which also appears to be gone along with the pass thru. Did the NA version retain it?

It was a great review to see the 'practical' daily driver aspect of the car.

I never would've expected a kris kross reference from an M3 German car review

The e92 cup holders are the worst of any production car. I've been trying to get used to it since my e60.

The ones in the new 3 series are much better and for thinner bottles or cans there are stuff u can buy for the cup holders that will keep em in place.

Love my e92m3 but 99% of us are thankful those cup holders are gone.

As for the rear seats I'm sure the fold down versions will have it.

In the standard 3 series rear cup holders are in the fold down armrest, but both the M3 and M4 have 60/40 fold down seats, which eliminated the arm rest and cup holders

LOL what? You are saying my rears don't have cup holders. I thought it would be same as my e92 335 but never bothered to check. Good to know when I have ppl back there while going through a drive thru.

Rockette · 05-16-2014, 04:45 PM

The engine sounds noticeably better in this review. The pitch change at high RPM is a bit more pronounced. Maybe the microphones they used were better?

Either way I can see an exhaust really making this car sound phenomenal.

Keep the M3, buy 2016 M3 (which is the better car by far than M4).

Also, someone call John McClane, zee germans are back!

I may be the only person at this point that still thinks the M4 looks better than the M3 but that is solely based on photos.
