Where the F8X is really going to shine even more is on the track. Looking forward to some Ring times.

Yes, I know that's what's he's saying. And I agree, it's "measuring hairs". But he also implies that the E46 isn't as fast as the videos show, or BMW numbers indicate, because simulations show that it isn't...
But my point is that the E46 has a 23,5 sec (CSL) and 24,2 sec (std M3) time from 0-1000m. The E9x has a best 0-1000m time of 23,3 sec.
That means a 0,9 sec improvement over the E46.
The F8x has a 21,9 sec (22,2 sec MT6) 0-1000m time. Which means a 1,1-1,4 sec improvement over the E9x.
Yes, it's measuring hairs. But so far it seems the difference between the F8x and E9x will be larger than it was between the E9x and E46 on that distance... But so far it doesn't seem that the E46 BMW times are to be believed...
