  • Holy Crap! That looks bloody quick!!! Heard the gong at 0:09, what was that telling you? Do you have to wait for the transmission to cool before you can do it again? And will it let you do it while the engine is cold? We have a 330d at the moment and that is a quick car. But that M3 is biblically fast!

  • its a speed warning when u exceed selected speed,, it does not allow you to do more than 1 launch together, u have to wait but I never calculated the time. I never tried it when the engine is cold its not recommened by pure logic.

  • Yes, manual I agree is probably more fun and satisfying but I know for a fact that you don't have more control over the car. Yes in a regular auto you don't have much control but with a DSG type transmission it changes gear exactly when you push the gear level or tap the paddles and it stays in that gear until you wish to change. Because this is so much easier and quicker than a stick shift, you actually have more control over the car.

  • @HeavyStunk1942 i timed 5.2 with Sony Vegas slow motion dosnt lie

  • @Nebla86 its 4,6 s

  • 0-100 = 5.3 seconds

  • The coolest launch ever. Even better than the space shuttle.

  • Notice how he is going sideways and full throttle. Good that the car has great balance, otherwise say hello to the bend.

  • M3 Take Off :P :D

  • @SomeRandomer123 He most likely put the speed chime at 100km/h so he knew how fast he accelerated

  • @SomeRandomer123 who cares of that limit lol, if i would have money on e90 m3 i would defenetly supercharge that with ecc and make it 600 hp

  • how do u set when it will launch? and how does it make a difference?

  • @tristantao Exactly, and even F1 racers use automated clutches now. It's just that much faster and predictable.

    And manuals are more fun but if we wanted something to have "that" kind of fun in, we definitely wouldn't choose a $70,000 car.
