I try not to be an Audi fan, but if the RS4 avant came here I'm all over it.

I wouldn't say that. You'll notice that Streets of Willow times are all over the map. It's a tight course with a very rough surface.

I love the E30, but it really should have been tracked tested against the M235i rather than the 340i.

why? He was doing a 3-series comparison.

SunnyD · 12-25-2015, 02:14 PM

I had a e30 318i with the 4 cylinder motor and it was still one of the most fun cars I've ever owned. I may have to pick up a 325 in the future...

Look at my pseudo/username...

It's not for nothing that i choose to have it.

Great vid

Because the new 340 is more like the old 5er. The 2 series is the new "3er".

But it's still the 3er. To compare how it's grown.

So you would do an old m5 video comparison to the M3? Doesn't make sense. I understand the point though.
