Loved everything about that vid, thanks for posting

J-boogey · 03-15-2012, 11:29 PM

sick video, the new M3 is fast! the tuned 1M had some trouble getting close to it when the left lane was all clear.

Agree! Looks nice and wide from the back! Very aggressive stance

1) No test driver may engage in so-called comparative test drives!
2) I doubt that the F80 has also turned down to accelerate
3) Everyone in Europe driving prototypes winter tires on it and thus is at 240 km / h connection with the funny!

taranonline · 03-16-2012, 04:39 AM

why do we call it F80?

Jason21 · 03-16-2012, 09:33 AM

Very nice!

UltimateBlogger · 03-16-2012, 09:35 AM

At 3:20 into the first vid the 1M driver is screaming "I'm giving it all I got!!!"

Now that was epic. That 1M drone...

Unlike the current 3 series (well the out-going model) the new 3 series will go under the designation F30 for the regular sedans and a special designation for the M3; the F80

Just awesome! Love that sound. Makes want to get back on the Autobahn again. I was was last on it 4yrs ago and loved every minute of maxing out the car legally.

Going back for the next M3 coupe. This time I want a month over there if possible.

hahaha, yes!

that's what's great about the autobahn. you can only overtake from the right lane.

This new M3 is going to be a great car, especially how tuneable it's going to be!
Bring it on!

when I was watching the video I thought the same exact thing haha
If that where me I deff would have been way to close

csween86 · 03-17-2012, 03:32 PM

Awesome video, makes me miss living in Deutschland and being able to drive like that on the reg. 1m sounds sick by the way! Can't wait to hear and see more of the m3!

ESC OFF · 03-17-2012, 05:51 PM

Great stuff! 2 awesome cars being driven like the were meant to be driven......can't wait to see the new M3.

Singletrack · 03-17-2012, 10:48 PM

Really cool video!

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the test car. I wonder what the BMW drivers/engineers think when this kind of thing happens...

morphius909 · 03-18-2012, 01:33 AM

Wow great video!! That 1m sounds amazing!

BMW Maniac · 03-18-2012, 12:05 PM

I didn't think they were going to make a 4-door M3 again.....

GrumpyBimmerFan · 03-19-2012, 03:14 AM

he he, maybe the BMW will say "hmm, maybe we should add more power to the M3"

I wonder how a current tuned M3 would do against 1m like that on the AB. Any 1m's in Rhein Phlatz area?

so far i haven't been passed by anyone

Uli_HH · 03-19-2012, 04:25 AM

But no one should forget, that there is an very high possibility that the test-M3 is running on 240km/h-limited winter tyres.

CarAbuser · 03-19-2012, 06:23 AM

From watching the video it seemed as if the m3 was still pulling away when the 1m was giving 100%.
