Hence the move to Brembo methinks...

there are different opinions on this matter. I hear both good and bad. I know a M3 CSL owner that does a lot of trackdriving and he hasnt a single complaint on the brakes. In fact he thinks the talk about bmw brakes are bad is exaggerated.
Like I said there is both positive and negative experiences.

Its not like it was cold when M3 was tested but it wasn't as hot as when the Vantage or M3 CSL were tested. In the scans it says 22 Celsius in air and 28 Celsius on the asphalt for M3 V8. For the Vantage it says 28 Celsius in air and 43 Celsius on the asphalt. This was for the Hockenheim, there is no mention of how hot it was when M3 V8 and Vantage were tested on N-ring. So we can just guess, it was either a warm or a cold day

Thanks, klier.

England are no longer the worst hooligans its the italians and polish that are the worst. In england if you are a hooligan and get caught its a lifetime ban.

And anyway alot of people in england are happy themselves we didnt qualify because 75% of the people hate the manager. Bring back sven

Anyway back to cars. The time is good, and pretty much what I expected. I wonder what the competition will do.
