the verdict is buy a Porsche
BMW wins it with driving performance, they still don't like the interior it should be a class better then the 3 series.

Here is the conclusion:
Audi is the fastest but also the most expensive. Merc is more expensive than Bmw and yet doesn't deliver in the driving experience department. Bmw is the least expensive, lightest, most fuel efficient and most fun to drive. Last edited by boulderado; 10-09-2013 at 06:08 PM.. |

I think from the video that modern mass produced cars with 300hp+ are looking at the limits of grip. The BMW straight line speed and track speed was hindered by grip. I think this is why BMW M division has hinted that the next gen M5 might have AWD.

The previous M3 had a ton of grip. The Corvette and Porsche 911 both had well over 1.0 g's of grip in the latest Car and Driver comparison, and both are RWD. With proper bracing and stiffness in the chassis, a good set of tires and suspension, and a low center of gravity, you can get a much higher level of handling. I would blame it on the tires. Put a set of Super Sports on and let's see what the car can do. |
