New Internet Sensation

So let me get this straight...they advertise the M3/4 as being the best on the road and on the TRACK,we all remember the M4 AD on that aircraft carrier going around a makeshift track.
"Here is the keys to your M sir,this is a monster track car but you should never take it to a track,for we shall void your MP."
What a load of bull from BMW if thats the case.

Whats the point in selling a car like this then if you cant back it up

 

[Quick///M]

its sucks to buy a car and not run it on a track for which it was solely built for

 

[CocoPops]

All manufacturers do it, including Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, Lamborghini etc..

Whackhead should get hold of the owner:rollsmile:

On a serious note, don't local car magazines get a car from BMW SA for testing? What happens to the motorplan of the test vehicle?

Why Internet sensation, these pics got thousands of hits on Instagram and facebook. Big up to the owner for displaying plates at Talton. Why cant we enjoy the car? But on a serious note, what time did he do?

Those are test mules that are kept by the manufacturer, if they are ever resold they will be quality checked and M-plan initiated on the vehicle.

My wife had an RCZ and the dealer actually encouraged us to track it.... Was pretty darn fast aswell!

Ferrari won't void your plan for going on track.

Back on topic.....
That's uncle Mo from Motronix standing there, I'm pretty sure I remember him talking about this car a few months back.

Nice M3...

I know of a Ferrari that was totalled on a Ferrari track day at Kyalami and insurance didn't even cover it.:smashScreen:

 

[Nick]

Also some guys have a ton of money and don't really care about MP and warranties.

 

[ChrisBrand]

Motronix have built some nice BMW's and have featured in a few (AFAIK) motor customizing magazines.

Insurance is different, 2 options, take the day cover(around R1000) for track use or... tow it outside the track then phone insurance:bin:

Ferrari has a techie on the track for track days to assist if you run into any snags

i think this car ran a 12.5s 1/4mile

 

[Killa_16v]

i think this car ran a 12.5s 1/4mile

12.5 is strong! But isn't the M supposed to be in the high 11's?
