Mad it's faster? Heck no. I'm embarrassed and surprised it's not faster than it is. Like I said, the diesel Audi was dominating LeMans. Didn't make me want a diesel "performance" car either.

I WANTED to want the new M3/M4.
Like I said... maybe you should drive it (like I did ) first before judging. You might be surprised and it seems short sighted to me.
