Dumb mentality.
When E46 and E92 M3's were being compared to Porsche's, everyone is crying why BMW can't go back to that - build sportier cars. Now when something gets compared to Porsche, it shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence? Which one is it? You want a sporty car or not?
Or maybe it's just the trendy thing to say "Porsche is t3h bestest! Nothing can rival or be better than Porsche!"

Read my post again, comparing the GT3 and anything BMW makes is hilarious. |
Again, why? Why is it so absurd to mention BMW in the same sentence as Porsche or a GT3? No one says the car is or has to be better than the GT3 but has traits that can rival it. We did it with the E46 M3 and to a lesser extent, the E92 M3 as a value proposition. Why suddenly is so wrong to do it? BMW shouldn't be capable to make a limited production sports car when they focus on SUVs? |
Because the CSL is derived from a bloated family grocery getter and the GT3 is derived from motor sports. There's only so much lipstick you can put on a pig and call it a thoroughbred, or you can have an actual thoroughbred.
I'm not a BMW hater or Porsche fanboy. I've had everything from 1M, e36 m3, e90 m3, m2, f82… I just hate what BMW has done to M. They've gone soft, with lazy engines that are stuck with n SUV, they sound like a lawn mower, and have gotten so massive that handling at the track or country roads is a bit unnerving. Sure anyone can go in a straight line fast these days or do a donut, but overall the engineering money is being lorded over by accountants and the focus is margins, it feels and is a big company.
Then:
M = Motorsport
Now:
M = Money |
For real.. bmw are such idiots for making these lazy engines these days.
Like seriously only 700hp with a tune??
And what we can only hold 1200 hp with the stock bottom end??
I mean the x drive g8x is only doing 2.2 to 60.
How the mighty have fallen
