Drove my friend's M3 SMG
test drove my friend's 03 M3 conv. SMG.......Not as fast as thought it would be, the SMG shifts pretty rough,
After my friends drove my C32, he came back and told me
"damn, that thing is FAST, now i admit C32 is faster" cuz before we always fight about whether C32 or M3 is faster.....

I actually felt like the M3 SMG felt quicker than my C32, but it could have been because I was using the car in a closed environment in S6 mode (DSC off), with the sport button depressed.

also drove my friend's new M3 SMG coupe. It does felt quicker off the line. other than that the C32 has more torque to pull around.
verdict: SMG is fun, i'll take the M3 to go with my C32 if i have $$. one for weekend and the other one for daily driving.

If you already have a C32 and would have enough money for a weekend car, the M3 is bad choice. Go for something undriveable Mon - Fri. Think Lotus 340R.

SMG faster than C32? what? Ive raced the SMG coupe and beat it. Its not faster than the C32. It might have felt faster but the torque on the C32 really murders off the line.

from what i noticed, ppl in the bmw forum now are facing the truth that c32 is quicker than m3 but then they say m3 has better handling
this is OT but do you guys think a 330 vs a g35 which one will win...?
