And, "The Official G-Meter Testing Thread" should be highly pertinent.

Capture Mini DV to computer. Make a simple movie using movie editing softare and the format of your choice. If small, attach to forum message. If too large, which probably will be the case, then upload movie file to webspace and insert its URL into your forum post. Here is an example:

Nice info So Cal and very, very nice pics
So this means that the new 335i will be faster than any V8 E60.
The factory promises 5,5 sec from 0 to 62 mph (not only 60) with the new 335i coup?.

Yes, Znod, so it is.
But still, I haven't seen any data on any other V8 but the new M3.
And that's only a 4 litre 400 hp engine...
For sure there will be the M5 boost to 540 hp but that leaves the gap
for a nice 5.0 litre "regular" V8 with some...
The RS Audi's and M-B AMG's are competition the BMW M models!
PS. Did you notice this link?
