I had an awesome day with taking my car around Zwartkops yesterday, had help on some of the corners from Etienne one of the instructors as i have always raced at Kyalam. Really enjoyed the track and was getting most of the corners right only two of them were still catching me out. I ended with a 1min14, not bad for my first time around i think. The M is a monster i had it on MDM mode for a while and on the last corner coming onto the main straight i was getting it sideways on a few occasions then decided to put back the ass controlling dsc function. Only thing is it restricts you alot when getting on power and your dsc picks up any loss of traction and engages and you hit the dash board from loss of power.

Otherwise the cars brakes, suspension and engine did not once play up in the sense of brake fade or engine over heating or anything. This car thrives on the track and especially when you hammer it, it still is no where near being tested to the point where it is going to break loose or let go. Well i suppose the C65AMG would bear testament to this as i have gauged my car on road and track now against the awesome merc and with my van der linde exhaust or "carbon black edition M3":clap: i see why the M3 is still boss!!!:cursin:

pretty much my exact experience when I took my e46 m3 on the track for the first time :thumbsup:

the DSC power kill is pretty irritating, but it just makes you want to drive even smoother :)

Hey thanx guys, funny enough all i heard that day is how nice the M sounded. Funny thing is i also want to hear it and got plenty offers to demonstrate the sound but unfortunately track insurance is expensive and specific on who drives!
You see thats why i need my stickers.....:clap:
