I didn't buy my M4 to be a EV beating topfuel dragster, but it's still nice to see the specs. I'm reminded why I bought the BMW each time I laugh when cornering and accelerating out of a sweeping bend. Also thinking if a much lighter car, even when not abused with LC, will feel faster on hard acceleration and have added perk of "funner" cornering. (that last sentence typed by Captain Obvious)
Guess these questions are all small parts of why we're drawn to the cars we own or spend too much time reading about/dreaming about.

I too found this to be a little disappointing. I have an M3 xDrive on order, but the order is taking so long that I keep rethinking it. I can't believe that there's only a tenth between this car's 5-60 and the M2C 6MT...and I've happily relearned my stick shift driving to feel pretty comfortable launching it...though I try not to for the sake of the clutch. I know the car is infinitely faster at speed, but I'm just wondering if I'll be bored too quickly. |
The best way to not get bored is to not doing boring things with it. Take it to the track! |
Speaking of taking it to the track. Nürburgring track times.
