135/M3 Favorites at C/D's lightning lap 2008

Sounds like they loved the 1er despite the sloppy shifter; the ride-handling tradeoff will of course be noticable on the track. They've always been lovers of the M3, but the C63 stayed right behind it by the look of the lap times! I think the M needs a bit more power to put the C63 in its place

Nevertheless, the M3 is an exemplary blend of track-day performance and everyday drivability. Like previous M3s, it delivers the kind of car-and-driver dynamic interface we normally associate with pure sports cars. But unlike its hard-edged predecessors, it’s as compliant and civilized as other 3-series Bimmers when comfort, rather than absolute urgency, is the priority. Is the steering a little light for some tastes? Maybe. But when the transmission is operating properly, it’s hard to find any fault with this super sports coupe.

Nevertheless, the Evo was quick enough to shade the BMW 135i, albeit by less than a half-second. There were a couple of logbook comments about the Bimmer’s rubbery shift action and excessive up-and-down motion in the suspension, the trade-off for the 135i’s excellent ride quality.
