I raced a face lifted version the other night and it kept up really well, actually we were neck and neck. I raced the pre facelifted version and dropped it every time meaning the power upgrade on this new version spot on.
Is the ///M Coupe BMWs answer to the Porsche 911 Carrera?
Has anyone done an objective comparison between these two cars in regards to handling, power, comfort and not price as there is a price difference?
