I didn't realise that the M5 had a lower drag coefficient than the M3 though - slippery b*gger eh?

These stats are interesting cause at first their seems to be very little in it - then you realise that they are both ELECTRONICALLY LIMTED to 155 and that acceleration above 60 in the M5 might be VERY different to the M3.

Of course its obvious that over 60mph im sure it should be slightly faster but they are both very close in speed. Obviously one weighs more than the other but im just making my argument that the E90 M3 should be faster than E60 M5 based on these stats.

If BMW can 'magic' the performance they can out of an e60 on the M5, then the e90 M3 should be a little rocket.

Anyway...i see in you sig you have soem toyo tires. How would you evaluate them from performance point of view...

I love my toyos but the ones you listed look like those were meant for the fastest car in the world or something. They look great
My favorite tire though is Michelin Pilot Sports. I think they are by far the best. Toyo is extremly soft and performs very good when hot but by the end of the year I believe I will have to change them out
