Beat an M3 pretty good today
Ran into a 2011 M3 DCT and decided to mess around. We had a small race from a dig up to about 100mph (no traffic) and I beat him by at least 4 car lengths.
I dont know if I'm impressed with my car or disappointed with the M3.... I thought it would put up a better race even in a straight line, especially with that DCT gear box. not bashing the M3, just saying I'm surprised. I guess the M3 will really shine more on the twisties.
Lets just say I'm glad I got the C63 since I have a better interior, my car sounds better and I am quite a bit faster (in the straights at least)
Edit: My car is a stock non P31 2012 Sedan and the M3 was a 2011 DCT coupe

I know that the M5 was running a Dinan chip so the top end may not be as good. M5's are supposed to be really quick in the top end though.

C63
M3' have a great header design as well, I believe they are mid length headers. Very few people actually go with aftermarket headers on these cars.
Ive never raced an M5 but modded C63's have no problem going heads up with them.
The M5 really shines at triple digit speeds, has alot of top end power.

The E9X M3's have slight gains with a tune not a dramatic difference like the detuned M156 engines. With a tune and exhuast I would say the S65 V8 gains around +17rwhp.
