Driven both?
Caporegime
I find my e36 328i Automatic to be far more pf a "drivers car" than an RX8 tbh.
And the e46 & later models are considerably more so again.
Yes, driven both....
My £0.02.
You think? ...I take it you don't agree that it is considerably more handsome than the E60 then ?

Hehe, well ...I always look back when I get out of my E39, I think the E39 Sport with Style 37's just looks so damn good. I just wish the car had less ...niggles. I can't imagine me doing that with an E60 M Sport, even though they don't look half bad, I don't think they are as handsome as the E39 ...I do think the F10 is moving back towards whatever it was I liked so much about the E39 though, I'm not sure what it is exactly ...something about the lines of the car and the proportions, but the F10 has it about right I think.

Which cars would these be then?

They didn't make a saloon e46 M3.
He's probably talking about cars like the E60 M5, which do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.

go on then
Put your money where your mouth is. Cash bet of say £10 that the next M5 does not do 0-60 in under 4.0 seconds ie 3.anything. This figure being the offically released "book figure" by BMW themselves. You on ?
Also, The fact that mclaren was so scared to release a 0-60 time for its MP4-12c incase of unfavourable comparisons with the 911 Turbo says i'm not as wrong as you think i am
I was more referring to the frankly ridiculous comment that an RWD saloon car has 'no weight over the back wheels'. Surely you must know that one of the major selling points BMW hammer home is that they have perfect 50/50 weight distribution?
This means... there is the same amount of weight over the back wheels as there is the front wheels!

gosh fox
out of all your humpteen thousand posts, has not one of them contained any slight exaggerations to make a point ?

There is a slight exageration and then there is posting complete rubbish. Your post was unfortunately the latter not the former.
Typically, RWD cars launch quite well - better than FWD but not as well as 4WD. Think about what happens to the weight balance of a car under hard acceleration.

Thats my point.
I was comparing it with 4WD cars like the 911 turbo.
I never mentioned FWD cars at all. Granted, RWD is not nearly as bad at launching as FWD cars are.

I so did not get that point from this:
Either way, I don't agree with you. The difference is negligible at best as larger cars have more power to compensate.
