I woke up extra early to beat Mani in posting this...

I suck but the M3 did not; especially over 100mph.

Now that the plaid is out, it's that or nothing🤣 I know it's more expensive but it would be sweet to be almost unbeatable on the streets in that plaid. I'm not and EV owner yet and have no immediate plans to get one. I do want to catch one on the road when I'm in my brothers GTR.

I support your theory sir.... there is no way Id ever have an EV as my only car but ... this has been an interesting car to say the least.

I took heed to all the cautionary tales about build quality and other concerns but I have been very pleased with the refreshed interior and quality along with the tech. The speed is exponentially faster than every car Ive owned and that says alot (I never super modded my GTR or Porsche Turbo S's enough to get to this level). Its a complimentary car and then I get back in my others and listen to the aural symphony.

Once someone puts out an EV with a nice looking exterior and under 140 grandThey will sell like hot cakes!!! Your plaid is very nice!!

So what does a non launch mode race look like?

GOLFFRR · 03-28-2022, 10:33 AM

thats awesome. M3x is so fast, what more do you need!
too bad it cost million dollars a gallon to top off lol

Not the best 1/4 mile run I've seen from the XDrive but different conditions will always add some degree of variability.

Five year old Tesla is still neck and neck, impressive... The G8x AWD is a beast indeed though.

Yep, essentially the same car that has been out since 2017. Very curious to see what BMW "unlocks" with the LCI though.

Not sure it's essentially the same car since 2017, especially since Tesla changes are ever ongoing and 2021 saw a lot of changes to the car.

Not really, it's like 75hp faster then when it first came out. Not sure what you're referring to?
