" That would be insane if M develops a torque vectoring system for a car like the M3, probably puts it in contention for P like handling prowess. At this point I find it hard to imagine that I'll be driving anything else in 3-4 years.

BTW, do you run a 3 monitor setup at work with one set to MT home page? You are so quick to the draw I might suspect you work there haha
Nah, I am trying to get Bimmerpost to pay me for these threads. Got to pay the mortgage, right


Yes the M3 is just putting everyone on notice that you should probably be saving your money for this car. Totally agree in 3 to 4 years it may be our time to step up to this level of excellence. Its just sooo promising

This exchange was funny:

MT: Each M3 has always had fewer cylinders than the M5 of the same era, right?

FN: Yes [smiles].

MT: And I never heard of a seven-cylinder engine…

FN: [Laughs]
