[Vids] C63 vs. Modded E92 M3 DCT
A friend and I had a chance to do a few friendly mexico test runs to see how his stock C63 stacks up against a modded E92 M3 DCT, before he does an ECU Tune/Flash. After he gets his car flashed we will run again to see his gains, I have little doubt the outcome will be much different then.
I'm a bigtime M guy, but I gotta say I really like the C63, especially after running Josh's Stage 3 Evosport C63 not too long ago. Enjoy the vid!

That M3 DCT is FAST! I didn't think they are fast enough stock at least to hang with my stock E55. Hey do you know any stock DCT that would run my stock E55 just for comparison lol.
I was thinking about leasing a M3 in the spring time but I figured it's not worth all the money for 414hp 295tq. 335i with just Jb3 alone is alot cheaper and just as fast.

The M3 has an adjustable suspension. In the reviews I've seen the firmest settings did not actually result in the best track times or slalom times.

so you think the pp might be a little too stiff to hold the road like the M. i could see that being the case. i do feel like it is a little too stiff around tight corners and feel like the tires might lose their grip

I have ran a few 6MT M3's and even with more power, I still get them. I've ran one other DCT and it was close. With the 335I's I've noticed a similiar difference between the 6MT and the AT, the AT's are faster when the mods are the same, and even if the 6MT has the advantage mods wise, the AT can take it.

M3 to a regular c63 Is like a c63 vs e55 Alot of body roll. Now a m3 to a c63 with pp is beter due to the body roll not being there no more but the fat is still on the shell so there is nothing u can do abiut that.

.Thanks man, stock for stock you will take a DCT E92 M3 in your E55. As far as how I've done, I've been pleasantly surprised, but I believe the DCT tranny is the difference, there is virtually zero momentum loss during shifts.

When he was stock I raced him when I had a failing IC pump and my car was not running at full potential. The results were very sloppy with both of us exchanging wins and loses. My car was not as strong because I had a very hard time pulling on him when he was stock. I did before and after comparisons with the new pump against him and a heavily modded 335i on this forum and I perform alot better now.
I raced him now with my new IC pump and his tune and he gets me by 1 car length once we hit higher speeds. I usually jump out half a car in front almost everytime and he gains on me to about 1 car length.
I raced his friend with a stock C63 the same day I raced his tuned C63 and I was easily pulling on the stock C63 even when the 63 got a head start.
