What do you like most about M Cars?

[Showtime]

it's true, a boosted up 335 will eat M3s on straights cos the 335's max torque delivery comes in very early.

For me, E30 M3 is my dream machine, maybe a Cecotto or EVO II version. ///M3 CSL is also right up there.

 

ok so we are talking modded 335 vs stock m3... if this is the case, of course.

was trying to look for an old video clip of a german bmw tester (can't rem his name) driving an M5 on the nurburgring circuit. it was quite an awesome video, even on youtube i could feel his speed (he chiet many cars, including porches along the way). can't find it, but anyway, here's another old M5 short movie starring madonna and M5.... enjoy

can e9x 335 turbo car stand the heat for non stop to KL (4-5 hours) with average speed between 160kmph-180kmph ?

Can.

 

Average speed 180-200kmh also no problem.

Should not be a problem...remember there is the intercooler and oil cooler that will work effectively in non-track situation...160-180km/h is not really pushing the car hard...so should be able to sustain further at this speed...

 

Should be able to, but highly not recommended. Rest at least every 2 hours is recommended, for both car (NA or turbo) & driver, even in temperate climate.

 

Doing 4 hours straight in the afternoon heat at tropical climate at over 160km/h is crazy, & begging for engine overheat in my opinion. I am sure there are people that does it, but I wouldn't be caught in one.

better to change to a good aftermarket intercooler if often driving at high speed for long time...it does make a vast difference...

if driving in sg for 4hrs, no chance to overheat...

Heh, I also love the whole "Wolf in Sheep's clothing" effect. There is no need to annouce all the ability you have, just let people find it for themselves...

 

And I dun give two hoots about looks - the only view I care about is the one from the drivers seat. But why attract attention when you don't need to?

M = Macho car. Btw i like M3

[Turbonetics]

i like M cars for their high revving engines.

German interpretation of muscle cars in a regular body style (which is of course stiffened up and all that). Those Germans think nothing of lupping in V8s or V10s, ain't that muscle car tradition? :p

 

But all in a regular body style, sleeper car i like.
