Interesting video of 1M at the Ring...
 

probably most of you have seen it....but still, a good video for those who did not....1M following M3GTS on the ring clocking some respectable time.....

Here we go again with advevo :)

He is a racing driver.
It seems to me that he tries to prove the 1M is better than other cars (i.e. CSL, GTS).

And why not Alex, it's all good fun and good TV. They are decent lap times by all accounts

That's fair enough shimmy :thumbs:

+1.

Vid just shows a guy driving a 1m. And driving it pretty well too.

You seem to have a complex about anything that might be "better" than the CSL Alex.

I watched that vid and didnt once think that the guy was trying to say the 1m was better than a GTS or CSL. It was just a decent video.

Chill the fuck out:partyman:

That's not true.
I have an issue when something that is not better, is presented/forced/marketed as better.
I am all about facts and logic.
:smt023

Edit : and it's a fact the CSL is by far the best BMW M ever made :)

My dad who likes to commute in comfort would beg to differ. An M5 would be his prefered choice.

Its all about perspective. The GTS laps the ring 2 sec quicker than a CSL, does that make it better?

No doubt the csl is a great car, likewise the 1m and GTS. CSL is favourite car I've owned, just require different set of tools at present.

I love your rose tinted glasses though, they really suit you;)

My e39m5 was the best car I ever had :thumbs:

Exactly Shim, would'nt come close to CSL on track, but for you at the time, and looking back it was the best car. Perspective. Teach this to Alex. :thumbs:

Was very kindly took out for quick blast in 1m couple of weeks back. I was surprised how quick it was and how well it pulled. Think it could catch out csl driver not on the ball. Bit on the quiet side and while interior better as you'd expect it didn't have as much sense of occasion. With DCT, zorst & tyres would be nice package.....CSL type version........ :-)
