They sucked! Can't believe a motor blew up. Fairly disappointed in their first outing. Let's hope they improve the program quickly.
They will be ok. First season will be one long test session.

Disapointed, I thought the m3 was developed from race engines. They did better years ago when they first started racing the v8 m3s. That's when they were kicking the porsches butts. Then porsche started crying saying it was not a production made car.
