I reckon that old stiggy would prefer the old M3 as there would be no 'mother' to interfere with drive and traction out of the bendy stuff.

I have witnessed two BM 'mothers' in action and, if hadnt witnessed it myself, would not have believed the massive difference it makes driving out of a bend.

That said, i would have thought that the chassis tech and suspension geometry would be much better on a spanking new car than a 10yr old M3.

Still as JJ says, we will see at the end of the month on the ring (as i overtake my mate in his brand new 335 twin turbo in my 10yr old M3.....i hope!!)
