Well, I guess their marketing is working since you indeed are sick of seeing it everywhere :chuckle: . Anyway, did you check the dyno video? Certainly didn't blow up there ... There is an old saying where I come from in that, "If you're not breaking stuff, you're not pushing the limit." Comical of course, but obviously they know what they're doing. " ... the naysayers were proved well and truly wrong with the E36 setting a personal best of 7.1 @ 197mph. The old version of this E46 holds a PB of 7.2 @ 196mph." And, if they DO blow it up on a live run, they'll have lived it, and will learn from it. Overall, this is really an impressive build and they already have the history to back it, "Like the two BMWs before it, this M3 will spend the rest of its first year completing a national tour of car shows. Next year however, it will do what it's been built for: to race down the 1320." Show and GO baby!! I do love it! :biggrin:
