I did the M3 DCT performance drive yesterday

[BLACK MACHINE]

:thumbs: Awesome, I know just what you on about.

It's a great feeling , isn't it- Handles like ago cart and fantastic brakes too.
Now, what makes this so different from your 335 cos since I joined the Forum there has been lots of talk about how the 335 ( with software of course) would kill the M3 in a straight line and I've tried to describe what you've just done on your post.

I'm pleased for you... It's an experience all M lovers must try

Thanks Jerez
335 - M3 worlds apart...M3 wins everytime for me and I have a 335.
The handling and brakes are just so much better and more accurate.
The power is more controlled but so much more enjoyable as the car gets stronger and stays strong all the way to 9000rpm.
They are just 2 very different cars but both enjoyable. I don't think I would have been so confident in the 335 on the track as I was in the M3. :thumbs:

Think I am gonna look into this!! Thanks man!! Glad you enjoyed yourself! I am finding that the M3 is a completely different car here in CT compared to how it was in JHB, like chalk and cheese, so I get what you're saying about it!

I know it has been posted to death, but for anyone who hasn't experienced the difference in an //M car between Gauteng altitude and sea level.. Boy, oh boy. That is a virginism you should deflower as soon as possible! Life up here in an M-car is an anti-climax. :thumbdo:

It has been posted to death,but one more won't kill anybody! What I've found is that the car is just so much more responsive here, there is no lag on the accelerator. I haven't driven in Power mode once since I've been here,because I don't have to.
And you're right,life in Jozi in an M car IS an anti-climax. Still lekker, but not what it should be. That being said, I'll stay take an M car any day in Jozi, it's still the absolute pinnacle of what BMW make.
