No, No, No ,No!

The M2 was in perfect running order, suspension already dialed in for that specific track, in fact, they were manufactured specifically for this test. It was running race gas with a tune and upgraded turbos on slicks.

The M4? Running 87 octane with bent wheels and bald kuhmo winter tires. Oh yeah, I heard BOTH front springs were very worn.

It looked like a clown show with all the drifting. I couldn't make it to the actual race. Typically I stop watching when they start focusing on drifting.

Napoleon wasn't short. Fun fact. He was actually above average height in his day. It was written to tarnish his name.

Don't ask me how this stuck with me. I'm 6'4" and could use some Napoleon blood.

Typical Motor Trend ass clownery at work. Once Carlos left for greener pastures, their vids turned into circus sideshows.

You might want to study BMW history.


The " small man" in the lineup has been the one that gets the most attention in the M3. Beginning with the E30 M3 , The E28 M5 and E24 M6 were also great cars but BMW made its name on small sports cars from the 2002 turbo and the M3.

Now that the M4 has come out and been replaced by a smaller more fun car in the M2 .. Things are simply going back to the way that they were after BMW mixed things up by *dragging* the M3 name onto a full size car.

The M3/M4 are now what the M5 and M6 used to be ( a great sedan and a great GT) and the M2 is the small car that everyone raves about...

You know you want the " small man " M2 anyway ..
