Any body see Tiff Needel putting the M3 Convertible through it's paces, Light Blue M3, he gave it 10 out of 10 as the top gears verdict, then proceeded to do a half donut and smoked it good, nice one Tiff.

Towards the end of the M3 video right when Tiff first takes it on the track, they play a song for about 3 seconds, do you know what its called or who its by? Thanks in advance.

RockNRoll: I know which part you are talking about but unfortunately I dont know what it is.

If anyone knows the title/artist please post it. Thanks

Hi guys,

has anyone uploaded this show or know where I can find it?

I'm also wondering about the quote a few posts up:"Plenty of rubber left, I few more laps I think" - this is EXACTLY the same he said in the M3 Coupe review.

Has Needell made this into a E46M3 slogan?? Hmmm....

You can find the 2001 E46 M3 coupe review here, along with a bunch of other interesting car movies. =]

And no Tiff isnt saying this in all his M3 reviews "Plenty of rubber left, a few more laps I think." I think you got confused that we were talking about a the E46 M3 Covertible review that doesnt even exist. I was refering to the M3 Coupe review for Tiff's quote.

Also, if anyone knows that song I was refering to please post reply. Thank you.

I just had my top speed limiter removed and am waiting for tonight to go out and test it to see what it can do... does anyone know what the car is capable of stock w/out the limiter?
Thanks

Guys,

There seems to be some confusion about the reviews Tiff Needell did on the E46 M3. Both the coupe and the convertible are reviewed. The coupe a while ago, that's the movie linked above. The convertible review was on BBC's Top Gear 2 weeks ago (the one Andy G meant). Has anyone taped it? The E46 Convertible comes out the verdict with 10 out of 10, and Tiff likes it better than the Porsche Carrera Cabriolet!
