What is really an "M" car?

M3Bimmer77 · 12-28-2015, 09:50 AM

I would like to share this interesting doc that I found.

cclinard1 · 12-28-2015, 09:58 AM

I watched that over the weekend. Pretty cool. Good find.

Still shocked by Albert Biermann going to Hyundai after seeing the visible passion on this vid. Admittedly, his last interviews with BMW didn't convey anywhere near the same feeling.

STooK · 12-28-2015, 02:25 PM

I'm about to go drive my M3 after watching this. Anyone have an M4 version? I want to see if anything changed.

This video is probably the only consistent repost on this forum that is highly welcome.

I find myself re-watching this pretty often.

I think I have a disease.

BzsBimmer · 12-28-2015, 06:34 PM

All that work in balancing the car by BMW and we go and muck it up with wheels, suspension, exhausts etc. lol

It's all about the stance tho

Move Over · 12-29-2015, 09:42 PM

My wife said "Sooo M stands for Markup?" as we watched this. Lol, pretty much.

1MOREMOD · 12-29-2015, 09:51 PM

Any car you place the emblem on

8600RPM · 12-29-2015, 09:57 PM

I think it's sad that M always talked about high revving power and knocked turbo. Now they change their tune out of neccesity. Sad

Too bad the German's, in their infinite wisdom, didn't calculate 50/50 weight balance with hookers in the trunk since the battery is back there.

Sorry, you have a lot of work ahead of you. My wife says it stands for more....more money to pay up front, more money to pay in Maintanance, more money to pay each month, and so on....I believe you, it's tough

5soko · 12-30-2015, 12:00 PM

I really love these kind of informative videos!

The definition of a M car for me is a e46 M3 CSL

This is a major flaw in their design.

This is why my weighted alignment was done with sandbags in the trunk. They did ask for an average hooker count up front, which I thought was strange at the time...
