M3 Saloon on Top gear tonight

dazzapb · 11-30-2008, 06:03 AM

Sorry if it was common knowledge.

Looking forward to tonights show - M3 v's Lexus IS-F, which according to many sources is the closest match to the M3, as it blows, RS4,C63 etc away.

As Clarkson hailed the M3 as a masterpiece, I look forward to the battle.

(PS I think the Lexus will lose because of the appalling fake exhausts! or the M3 as its a 'cocks' car

actually I want one badly

The C63 is now the hardcore one out of that lot, the M3 is the softy compared to the Merc and the IS-F doesn't get a look in.

These are all BMW M owners who are reviewing these three cars, E92 and CSL.

I was reffering to track performance

no doubt the c63 is a animal

PS nice Video! Wondered where Chris the guy from autocar went!

gIzzE · 11-30-2008, 06:30 AM

Should add, depends whether they are on the road or track to be fair.

gIzzE · 11-30-2008, 06:30 AM

You beat me to it.

dazzapb · 11-30-2008, 06:35 AM

hehe, I seen a c63 in Brentford merc the other week, at list! (cheeky) Stunning car and to be honest I would have one in a heartbeat

gIzzE · 11-30-2008, 06:37 AM

Me too, I think when I no longer need the space of the E Class estate I will swap the E320 and the M3 for a C63 Estate.
Will have to buy a cheap 1 series or something, even a 116i, just so I still have a BMW of some sort, it wouldn't feel right not having one after all these years.

dazzapb · 11-30-2008, 06:54 AM

hehe I know what you mean, I already feel like a traitor considering trading in the 335i

so I can get a deposit for a house. There must be another way

Excuse to the misses is that the car is only worth a quid now

beemerbird · 11-30-2008, 12:30 PM

What else could there be to do on dark cold winter nights at the moment apart from being on here having informed debates .........

Will be interesting to see, I have really warmed to the new M3 and am not a Lexus fan at all.

Come on BMW
