Really surprised how well the E92 M3 is holding up in these comparos. Also, in the 3-4 tests that were done head-to-head with the RS5 (same driver, same day) E9x M3 was faster in each case. There’s this one vid that Bruce A. was referencing, but both guys were clearly not pro drivers and wasn’t timed. Also, think that for the differential, chassis improvements, 100 lb weight advantage, MUCH better stock brakes (forget CCB) and 50+ bhp advantage that the F8x beat the E92 by .5+ secs on short track and should have blasted the N-ring time by hitting the mid 7:40s with a low 7 weight/power ratio (vs 8.6 for E9x). Would be great to see a head to head, as I think the E9x is making up time in the corners, but obviously losing on power (not only the 50 bhp peak deficiency, but 50-80+ bhp over the powerband in comparing the vehicles power curves).
