Better than Top Gear's awful segment in my view. Was that 63 030 equipped? If so, that's disappointing.

Fun video, but the M3 definitely looked great on the track.

Top gear does concentrate more on the entertainment aspect but their review was still more comprehensive. 5th Gear didn't talk about or compare interiors,suspension, options, adjustable settings, everyday usability ect. At least Top Gear's review covered the basics, 5th Gear fell far short.

thanks for the heads up!
both 5th gear & TopGear had fun reviews.

I do prefer to be more C63 oriented though

I agree that the Fifth Gear review (I watched it yesterday) was damn near worthless. I think we all knew that the M3 would win on the track.

I also would have enjoyed their subjective opinions about how fun the cars are to drive on real roads. Some comments about handling, road feel, etc on some twisty backroads would have been interesting.

Nice review, but like others have mentioned, the Top Gear was a bit more comprehensive
