Fantastic engine sound and too much body roll are what characterizes this video.

The AMG should eat this car. It's also not a competitor. Then again any Legit M car will have its way with the AMG. On a side note. Does anyone know much about a ED?

Couldn't get sound to play on my iPhone, but I did find myself angling my phone each time he went around the corner. And that's not a tight turning track either. I hope they tighten up the suspension. I don't want to drop another 2k into suspension for a car that is supposed to be a driver's car, not a grocery getter.

Of course it's lacking in negative camber... what production car isnt? Unfortunately the lawyers set the alignment specs. I agree with everybody tho, this car is awesome. I want 1, or 2 as the case is

Gosh Bimmerpost is full of whiners. Take a look at the E46 M3 around the Top Gear test track:
I bet if all of you watched that you would complain about the body roll. Compared to my 135i stock, the M235i looks very planted. Stop complaining. |

Hope the engine sound isn't piped in like on the M5. A bit of negative camber isn't a big deal to dial in. Some beefier sway bars and lowering springs will likely need to be added to satisfy most on this forum. Overall looks very promising. I just hope the brakes can really hold up to the punishment of a day at the track. The 135s brakes aren't up to snuff even though they look nice. They can take a few laps but plenty of complaints on the forums here about trying to keep them solid at the track.
