Anyone had a go at the new M3?

I haven't seen one on the road yet, but on paper they look quick. Once they do similar mods like they do on the 335i (downpipe and JB4) it could be a fast little bugger? Anyone been up against one yet?

M3 or m4? A buddy of mine has an m4 and he still says the e55 still feels quicker on the low end..but those turbos on the m4 give it a pretty good steady torque line.

i played around with a m4 a couple of weeks ago. he took off first and stayed a good car length ahead of me the whole time. I was in manual mode and the e63 is pretty much stock except for some exhaust mods. Maybe if i was in sport mode i wouldve done better? haha Needless to say i was pretty surprised at how quick the m4 was. I really need to do some go fast mods

one car at a time
I went at with a neighbors brand new m5 (2014)...we were pretty much even, with me ahead ~1 car to about 120...I was surprised given his car is brand new + turbos + mods + launch control

E55 AMG
I played with a new M3 this past Thursday. Guy literally just picked it up an hour before running into me. We went from a dig and a 45mph roll.

Now, the dig was more like a 5/10mph roll but i pulled about 3 cars while spinning before he apparently shut it down or missed a shift/gear/mode...all he told me was "i had it in the wrong mode" (it was an auto car)

The 45 mph roll was probably more of a real world scenario. I let him get the hit and I stayed in 2nd gear....by low/mid 3rd gear i had 3 cars and pulling, could have been more but I stopped looking behind me as I was keeping my eyes peeled ahead for possible po po action and then shut it down. For reference my car makes a mere 507whp/539wtq.
