good work sir!

is it just me, or do the e30 m3's seem to have a propensity for tipping over? even in the autotest video it looked a bit like rolling through the slalom...

I think that these m3's are anything but standard.... looks like the stiff suspension makes it a bit tight..

That was'nt autotesting, just a slalom clip. Still good though. BMW's are too big for autotesting, a mini is what you need!

The wheels are compos, but six spoke not the five pictured above.

Is a straight cut box not just a dogleg box? Sounded like a sequential box in the hillclimb.
