Yeah..watched the lastest one aswell, very surprised M3 is nearly 2sec quicker than RS5 on TG track in damp condition, as you know 4 wheel drive will have advantage on wet surface.

Probably M3 is the last best car BMW made, i have heard the new F10 M5 will not use the DCT, just normal 8speed gearbox!!
Yeah the new M5 dose not sound that great as before.
Maybe the car is just too big to do any thing good.

Yes..the F10 M5 will have 580+ bhp, and the source says the DCT cant keep keep up with the tons of power so they have to use the traditional auto box instead.

if remember correctly, the rs5 is heavier than the m3. also the rs5 had quite a lot of understeer (v common w 4wd cars), its v noticable when it went round the tg track, especially next to the tail happy m3. the high rev high bhp days are over I think. tc engine is okay I guess and more suited to hk roads anyway.

Not exactly for me!
