E92 M3 & M5
How can two cars be so similar in pace yet have such different specs?
After driving the E92 a while back I really thought it was quicker but it seems not. Just proves the E39 really does decieve you of how fast you are accelerating.
We were dead level up to 140,not a mm of difference from 30mph-We kept up in the good old 'twisties' aswell.Good fun and also nice to know the current stuff is no faster.

The BMW M3 deceives you ALOT with its comfort compared to the BMW M3 E92. Its very suprising actually. On th ether hand the M3 has much better roadfeel and the M5 has better comfort.

I have never driven the new M3 but i'm sure it's a blast! I would definately take the new M3 because its slightly nimble, more fun on the track and more modern.
