Count me as another convert. 2005 M3 to C55. No regrets, though the ///M was very nice. As I've mentioned to others, the only reason I shopped around is the ///M lived at the dealer's service department.

Here is part II from last night. Let me warn you guys that this video is long AND has no music so please don't fall asleep. :p We had 2 cameras this time, one in each car, but Dut accidentally recorded over some of his footage. 
Hahah j/k. For some reason I was pretty paranoid last night so we didn't take it up to the speeds we did on the first vid. Call me 
In any case if I get enough complaints I'll spice it up some with more trance.
Enjoy.

These are some really close races. I'd say go race again but this time with one passenger per car and have them hold the cameras. BTW, why don't you mod your C55? At least do cosmetics!! I can't wait til' I get my hands on a C55 in March.

There were a few races where I just lit up the tires and went nowhere. You could hear Dut laughing in the video (edited out) when I did that. 
The only mods I will be doing to my car at this point are wheels and coilovers. My wheels are supposed to be in on Thursday and coilovers shortly thereafter. I can't wait.
No more videos for me. Too much to lose and too little to gain. Dut and I pretty much proved our point of the M3 not being faster so that is probably the last video unless the race takes place on a track.
