  | [scans] M3 V8 Sportauto supertest          more cylinders,more power, more passion, but also some more weight Nurburgring Nordschleife, 20.8 kms 8:05 --- 152.907 km/h -- BMW M3, 420 PS/1608 kg some understeering but easily turning in, perfect suspension Hockenheim, short track: 1:14.3 - again some understeering but also some oversteering when the ESP is disabled, lot of power in the rear, easily turning in, the limit is high but small with the hardest damper settings 0-200-0 km/h in 20.5 secs. even though it weighs 1.6 tons it beats the predecessor M3 CSL by 0.9 secs., good ttraction due to the limites slip differetial, perfect gearbox and perfect brakes max. lateral acceleration: 1.25g thanks to the optional 19" Michelin Pilot Cup Sport tyres specs: 420 PS at 8,300 rpm (red line at 8,400 rpm) 400 Nm at 3,900 rpm Michelin Pilot Cup sport tyres, 245/35 ZR 19 and 265/35 ZR 19 in front/rear MSRP: 66,650 EUR weight: 1608 kg power-to-weight: 261 bhp/ton 0-100 km/h 4.8 secs. 0-160 km/h 10.2 secs. 0-200 km/h 15.7 secs. Vmax: limited to 280 km/h 18m slalom: 69.2 km/h 36m slalom: 138 km/h 110m evasion test: 146 km/h again a perfect handling due to the Michelin Pilot Cup Sports tyres and perfect suspension, lot of grip and high but small limit wet handling: 1:32.4 there is no big difference between the serial 1" Michelin Polit Cup 2 and the optional 19" Pilot Cup Sport tyres, again some understeering no abrupt oversteering, it feels safe and eays to control the powerful V8 engine is perfect also for the every day driver, a perfect companion. In combination with the sporty suspension, the M3 is a real bargain also for the sporty driver. The high weight results form all the luxury equipment but even though, the M3 is a real highflyer
