I know someone with a 280bhp E30 M3 -- with a normally aspirated 2.3 4-pot as well!!

do you actually like driving at all or are cars to you just a manifestation of some sort of pathological mother complex ?

Re Clarkson - great review but the sod would probably change his mind 5 mins later, he's hardly consistent.

The M5 drifting into oncoming traffic - never seen anything like it, bet the drivers goint the other way needed a change of shreddies.

I recognise that stretch of road from the background ... it's at Beckingen very close to Hartge's headquarters.

Look at the exterior shots, it ain't him driving it.

The clip is taken from this video of Clarksons http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000 ... 52?ie=UTF8
The driver in question is Kelvin Burt. Jaguars then Chief test driver Mike Cross was also in on the test.
The M Coupe was pitched against the Subaru Impreza 22B, Mitsubishi Evo 6, and the Alfa Romeo GTV. The M Coupe of course came out on top! :lol:

I know some of the EVOs had more but this is the US where even the E36 M3 only had 240bhp!
