F80 M3 Crashes at the Nurburgring. Provides Peek at Production Seats

MTROUBLE93 · 09-25-2013, 09:26 PM

Yeah that car is pretty much done, they should just give it to me

Hops128i · 09-25-2013, 09:48 PM

Like the F80! and that safety car wagon is cool too.

Marioalex24 · 09-25-2013, 10:36 PM

Damn that suck. That's the last thing I wanted to see, a crashed M car. But shows how hard their driving it to the limit.

it's a good thing for sure - always testing

you can create the first "my salvaged F80" thread.

S*it happens sometimes

Crap, I hate crashes, crashes on pictures, tv, video, race tracks any crash. I hope the driver is A ok.

Love the look of those seats and hopefully not a Euro only option. New M cars are too expensive to track for me so no helmet worries here.

Green///Hell · 09-26-2013, 01:34 AM

Maybe since they are always testing and the base model is ready to go into production....

Could it be they are early testing possible options for the Comp Package

Would explain having bits like the seats and inner things we can't see like suspension and power changes

This car is so far off now my dreams are getting the best of me

TTG · 09-26-2013, 01:54 AM

It clearly is (was) a US spec car since I has the orange reflectors......

However, I just cant keep my eyes off the F82 that came to rescue...... Now that is one sexy car

av689 · 09-26-2013, 02:19 AM

I wish they were selling it..or parting out

Neuvo-Vaders!

I miss my vaders, best seat for me evar. (Ignoring their damned weight of course)

Rupes · 09-26-2013, 03:59 AM

The electric steering probably didn't provide enough feedback to let him know he was about to crash.

I wonder if future performance cars will offer a hydraulic steering option for an up charge (lol) for those who would rather feel their car than achieve a slightly better MPG rating.

No more Schroth Quick Fit

Lolz.

Let's get some hydraulic vs EPS threads going!

BRAISKI · 09-26-2013, 07:46 AM

That was part of a test! How much can the driver push the car before it broke away. I'm always afraid to push the car during ED.

WolfeS2K · 09-26-2013, 09:01 AM

It will buff out

i001947 · 09-26-2013, 09:12 AM

Perhaps the new M3 isn't ready for production yet

Mavus · 09-26-2013, 10:03 AM

maybe functional testing is complete and they sacrificed one test unit to gather high speed impact data
