Black M5,

Wow man, 415 not bad at all ...also a reasonable price too. But don't u think RMS is better?

P.S: who has a blue met M5 in Boston?

Black M5 · 3rd April 2002, 07:56

Im not sure if ESS is a top company but i just wanted to point out to what is available out there at the moment for you M3 guys.

Yes RMS is a better company but the only down side to it is that they dont have anything for the M3 other than maybe a computer upgrade at the moment.

Where did you get the reasonable price from ?

It says UD for price..

You mean the Lemans blue M5 in boston right ? He is one of the guys and he called me last night asking if i knew who had a white M3 and wanted to know if it was one my cousins. I asked him why at first and he said you passed him on the bridge at maybe 120..

You gotta take it easy cousin!

I'll rather stick to my natural aspirated 410hp, latest session at Nürburgring's Nordschleife prooved it to more than satisfying.

Cheers,

I really don't know if it have that much but using a formula and calculating backwards from RWHP of 352, I get that figure.

As a comparisation my M5 has 356 RWHP.

The M3 was extremly fast at Nordschleife over Eastern, in fact I was faster than the Ringtaxi.

No but I did chase her (or maybe it was Mr Martini).

One of the laps I started before them and were expecting to be overtaken but I never saw the Ringtaxi again until I got back from a cooling down trip outside the track and the Ringtaxi had stopped in the "pit".

The next time they started a bit before me but I was soon on their tail and stayed there the rest of the lap.

At another lap I started before and drove slow uphill after Bergwerk waiting for them to show up, they did just before Karusell and I let them past and started following them to see which line it took at some places.

It is so much easier to driver fast on Nordschleife with the M3.

Common, Johann, please post at least some pics from the Ring if you don't want to write a report!
