SPEC MIRAGE!

Some could be real M3s, but in the video above they have different (much slimmer) wheels and seem to pitch and roll much more than a regular M3.

I will still mourn the closing of the “Normal Plant”...due to it being the birthplace of every DSM in North America.

wonder if they’re all just kitted up 320i

So someone wanna tell me at which point Tom got into the M3, then ducked down into the footwell, found the fusebox, removed the airbag fuse, and then did all this? Cause in real life, one small crash would cause the bags to deploy.

But as the stunt coordinator says, with these new BMWs – M3s, specifically – you’ve got to turn off all the electronannies to make movie magic.

Nothing about hanging off of the world’s tallest building impressed you?

I’m still a little surprised they let him do all this with all the insurance concerns and whatnot - shows how much influence he has, I guess.

I understand they had to put smaller 3-series wheels and tires on it for it to survive the abuse without blowing the tires and damaging expensive wheels so easily, but it looks so wrong.

Man, it sure would be nice if you could buy direct from the factory at that factory pricing, rather than having to negotiate a higher price from a middle man who really ends up doing nothing for you other than trying to sell you rust proofing and paint protection packages.

To be honest, I rather have Stalinists than another religious state.

I just feel that the human race should be more evolved by now. This isn’t even about resources. It’s about religion, and sub-religions, and religious factions of sub-religions. Nobody is totally right, nobody is completely wrong, so let’s get everyone’s shit together and progress as a common race. Time is our most…

you spend an awful lot of time waving your credentials around.

The article said power provides the “shove” you feel. That is incorrect. Acceleration is proportional to torque.

Nothing in the article is factually wrong, it’s just ignoring gear ratios. If I know my power, mass, and my velocity I can calculate my acceleration without any other knowledge. If I only know torque, I will need to know gear ratios to calculate meaningful values.

It has no enemy. What can Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, etc. field that could compete with it or require it?

What the f*ck? That is a bizarrely unrealistic situation. When has that ever happened, ever? Distracted driving happens while driving, not while waiting for the green light.

Bench racing! Its not the actual performance that counts its the “my dad can beat up your dad” interwebz arguments.

Let’s stop defining “race car” as strictly “circuit race cars,” and accept that race cars can be built for any number of purposes, whether the road ahead is perfectly straight and smooth or not a road at all.
