RESULTS OF TOP GEAR'S M3 vs. C63 vs. RS4
VIDEOS HERE! -- http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103367
Here's a brief summary of the episode that has literally just finished on BBC2: Initially, Clarkson drove the Merc, Hammond drove the M3, and May drove the RS4. As expected Clarkson was banging on about how great the Merc was. Results-wise, in the drag-race, the C63 came first, with the M3 second, and the RS4 being last. In the circuit-race, the M3 was first by a long way, the C63 was second, and the RS4 was last. In the accuracy test, the BMW slammed the Merc - the Merc was unbearably innacurate and suffered with some oversteer also. In the day to day test, the presenters commented on the following: C63 = Great engine M3 = Just sublime RS4 = Very secure OVERALL... THEY ALL AGREED THAT THE M3 WAS THE WINNER. BMW'S BLOOD IS TO MAKE SPORTY SALOONS (= SEDANS) AND THE MERC AND AUDI ARE SIMPLY JUST COPIES - ALBEIT VERY GOOD ONES. It appears that the M3 is the most balanced and multi-talented of them all. Indeed, from a fuel point of view, it would be the cheapest to run also! |

you can prob watch it on youtube once someone uploads it... but better watch it quick cos it usually gets removed within a day.

Pretty much confirmed my impressions of all 3 cars after scouring the net for months.
C'mon, allocation! |
