BARELY beat the M3 in a straight line? You need to watch the video again...the C63 destroys the M3 in a straight line...they are barely at 100mph and its already multiple car lengths ahead and pulling away faster and faster.
Who are you kidding that most normal driving equates to sliding the car around on a track?!?! Last time I check there are multiple lanes no the road with multiple cars on all of them...the REAL WORLD is not about throwing a car into the apex of a turn and seeing how it responds....I have watched all of the videos and they are simply journalist having fun on a track...the car will not utilize most of this potential on the road in a safe manner.
To ignore the lack of torque on the M3 is to ignore what is fun about driving in America. What do you want to bet in real world driving a chipped out 335 will be able to outpace the new M3
