YOU MAY HAVE SEEN OUR long-term M3 had a seat at the table for this year’s Speed Week. And it may sound odd, but I was thrilled to see my colleagues spank it around track while I sat in the pits – giggling and filming while others destroyed the rear tyres of a car I ultimately had to drive home. Overall, people came back impressed – blown away by how brutally effective it is at getting from one place to another very quickly but also concerned at how hefty it was. There was a remark that was consistently vomited out of a few people’s mouths, though. “Feels different to previous M cars, doesn’t it?”.
