Best F80 M3 and F82 M4 videos yet - Hard/aggressive driving on the Nurburgring

Boss330 · 07-21-2013, 04:50 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Just found this video, shot on the 18th of July.

This is the most aggressive driving I've seen so far from the new M3. Sounds and looks quite aggressive. Sounds like the engine revs quite high when you hear it approaching. Drift action @ 2:47 mark.

For more M3/M4 info see the compilation thread and the homepage features.

EDIT:

New video (23rd of July) of the M4:

Good driving at the 2:48 mark

Good find and yes the engine sounds good and the revs seems quite high. The exhaust note is still loose and blarpy which I think we need to accept, I have, but it looks fast and also very controllable. Looks like they were testing what it can do in terms of lap times, they aren't exactly holding back.

GOLFFRR · 07-21-2013, 06:48 PM

awesome! thank you for posting!

TOS_335i · 07-21-2013, 06:57 PM

The more I see the new M3 being pushed, the better the car looks... Definitely getting more aggressive in testing!

Yay-Z · 07-21-2013, 09:31 PM

Wowzers! They were going for the gold with that test

pkimM3r · 07-22-2013, 02:43 AM

Ill take one in black please

CanAutM3 · 07-22-2013, 08:37 AM

Woohoo at 2:47

Looking good

NISFAN · 07-22-2013, 02:11 PM

It doesn't sound anything like an inline 6

Two bad things:

There is a lot of under steer sound

The gearing looks long like M5/6, ECO gearing.

Other than those it looks awesome. How do you apply to become a BMW test driver?

kyleb350 · 07-22-2013, 04:25 PM

Definitely testing out the DSC here.

Wouldn't say there is lot's of "under steer sound". It seems like there is tire squealing when driven hard and powersliding. It doesn't look like it understeers either.

Hard to tell if it's long geared from a video, but generally turbo cars tend to have longer gears than NA engines. A highly tuned NA engine often has a narrow powerband at very high revs, so it's important to keep the engine in it's sweet spot. A turbo engine has a broader, useable, power band. Meaning that the gearing is optimized to keep the engine in it's max torque range, lower in the rev range, and today, often from low down all the way to redline.

One of the advantages/disadvantages of turbo engines...

I don’t know, very subjectively judging from the N-ring footage of the F80, looks more nimble, planted, and easier to play with vs the E9xs I’ve seen. Wonder if there may be some active steering or different suspension setup vs predecessors.

FrozenM3nace · 07-22-2013, 05:14 PM

Those rear fender flares at 1:46 are wide as f@&$

Blindside_137 · 07-22-2013, 05:17 PM

definitely looking quite nimble! Exhaust is sounding better but I will never like those "farts" from the new M's

PTA85 · 07-22-2013, 05:20 PM

at 3:08 Not sure if it is another car but when he gets off the gas and on the brakes you can hear the blow-off valve pretty clearly. Might be imagining things lol.

wisesoul · 07-22-2013, 05:21 PM

That thing is planted in the corners! I just need a test drive and extra garage space to get it

Leonardo629 · 07-22-2013, 05:44 PM

is it me or the car has minimal body roll flying out of those corners?

aussiem3 · 07-22-2013, 05:51 PM

Well poised and minimal roll ... looks beautifully planted

but the exhaust is a total turn off and doesn't sound like an M car

m3less · 07-22-2013, 05:54 PM

I want to see M mirrors.

jhv · 07-22-2013, 05:58 PM

cornering looks flat and neutral and the sound produced is a lot better than i had anticipated, too. overall, things look very promising! can't wait for the reveal at detroit
