M3 v M4 VBOX Comparison

My F80 feel like it would suck the doors off my E90 when both are running in their powerband. It's such a big difference in the feel of of outright power. The E90 M3 felt fast between 6k and 8.5k rpm but the F80 between 4k and 6.5k rpm is on a different level of feeling fast.

Torque. It's a helluva drug.

Nope, not really the torque, the power. The TQ comes on much earlier and is nice of course but it's the sheer power in the meat of the power band I'm talking about here.

Congratulations to all that are fortunate enough to own one.

What's up Arnie...are you going to NoFlyZone on the 15th? I didn't know you also had an M3. I'm bringing my ESS 650 M3 and my Turbo S.

This was my M4 - with an Akrapovic full EVO - no downpipes. Just the exhaust. No performanced based upgrades - enigne is stock bar the Exhaust. I'm the car 0800 on the right in the image above.

For reference it recently dyno'd at 444.8BHP and, I forgot exactly, I think 368BHP at the wheels.

re; launch control. It's absuard. I'll never use it again!

Well I have a Vbox Performance Box and I upload my data to vboxtools.com which does provide trap speeds and 1 foot rollout. I don't know if you can do this with the phone based tool or not. If so, then it would be a good idea to post the graph, they look like this. Here is an example.
