I've been looking into an E46 M3 next year, I had a play with one a few weeks ago round some back roads, personally a bit dissapointed in the M3 didn't seem to pull as well as the escort, either overtaking or on the straights. On paper the figure suggest they should be very similar to a stage 3 cos, but on the road I though the escort was a bit quicker...
Unless the M3 driver was being a girl ??
Excellent car though !!!
