I know what the cars are capable of and though their straight line performance isnt all that great, they handle like a mo fo. Most BMWs really start to shine above 100mph. He claimed to have 300rwhp and I just laughed when he said that. I know they typically dyno @ about 210-215hp stock. You would have to do all sorts of work to get it to 300 in N/A form.

You are right about the Avus/Dove combo being the more common combo, but Im thinking it had black int. but I'm not positive.
If you lighten the car and have basic bolt ons and a tune(230ish whp) on a 60+roll it'll hang w/a stock 03-04 cobra (with a good driver)

Impressive for a n/a M3.

But your right they are ballin in the curves glad to see your a true enthusiast instead of believing that a certain countries vehicles are greater than another's...its like comparing apples to oranges to peaches....haha
