BMW has announced a new “Competition Package” for their M series of performance cars, M3 and M Sport. The new package includes carbon fiber rear spoiler and front apron flaps, lowered suspension by 10mm and 19×9-inch wheels. Furthermore, BMW announced that new M models will come with an Auto Start Stop feature.
Sometimes, all you really want to see is a good old fashioned race. Two cars going full bore in a desperate attempt to show the other one who’s boss. And when you pit a BMW M3 E46 against a BMW M3 E92, the end result will surprise you.
It would seem, on the surface, like these are two closely matched vehicles, but by the time the race ends, one clear winner will be established.
Oh, and don’t leave after the race–stick around, because the rest of the video will show a parade of cars, including several BMWs.
The whole of the video is fairly interesting if a bit misleading–you’ll likely be as surprised as I was by the shortness of the race, and by the length of the filler material attached afterward, because that’s really all that car parade bit at the end was–filler.
But you can catch it right here, as the race is exciting enough on its own.
