These comparos are hilarious the GT-R is going to kill pretty much anything.

Id like to see a more evenly matched comparo with say an aventador or even 458Italia,

Mclaren mp4c these cars are more evenly matched against the gtr even if they cost 3x as much

M5,M3,c63,rs5 don't even come close when comparing performance.

Always love Chris Harris reviews

I was surprised to read the c63 and TT RS are pretty close to the R35 in the 80-120 comparison, but behind

in pretty much everything else.

links dont work

Yeah Buddy!

[battery]

I'd take the M5 over the GTR anyday!

[domino_z]

v8 engine sounds through the speakers because they cant make the engine/exhaust sound like its supposed to = the M legacy is well and truely over

.....and people ask me why i refuse to accept low ball offers on my parked up E46 M3 individual convert

I'm not sure why the original links have stopped? Anyone know why this happens?

[OzStriker]

Oh, how can you have a convertible M car yet think the legacy is over because of some artificial sound enhancement?

Everyone was complaining when the I6 went away, everyone will complain when the S65 V8 goes away too but so far it seems BMW M are on track.

The styling on the new M6 is fantastic.

X5/6M is another matter of course!

Great video and sensible conclusion! I'm a huge Harris fan, probably my favorite of his would be his 458 v Gt3RS vid...Beautifully done.

the S54 sounds better topless

M cars are all about the engine.... the chassis are no different to the base model

Have you driven a GTR?

The S54 was my favourite sounding of all M engines...the raspiness in the upper RPM range, thanks to ITBs, gave it a race ready sound that all inline sixes should have. Wouldn't consider the M legacy to be over though...just the times they are a changin'.

ive got the 100 cell CSL cats on my S54

rasp is off the hizzy

the americans never got it, and put exhausts on to make there's sound like a V6 mustang

SMG or manual? I have good memories of being thrown around in my seat by the harshest SMG setting, which felt like it was going to snap the tailshaft, accompanied by said rasp.

[domino_z]

mine's a mid 2005 smg so one of the last built - paint and interior are from the individual program

yeh the smg is harsh in the fastest settings, with stability off you get a 6th even faster tail shaft snapping setting - and because of that ive never dared to use the LC (in my own car ). If you leave it in the 3rd or 4th setting and just ease of the accelerator mid-shift it is very smooth. Also shift quality is dependant on maintenance. I have friends who buy wholesale'd cheap M3's with 100K+ km on original clutch and they are dogs to drive. I replaced my clutch at 40K kms and it feels as good as new.

the coupe's have a bad issue with cracking subframes - violent smg shifts wouldn't help

the shifts do feel slow after getting used to the dual clutch in the gtr/sls, but then jumping in the ferrari, maser, etc i do prefer the softer smg over the neck snapping f1 shifts

with work vs-xx

and now that ive put the oem 19s back on to keep it looking oem

Good clean example

I'll always be partial to the black coupes...can't be choosy though, it's difficult to find any E46 that hasn't been thrashed out.
