A new M3 owner was telling me that the 135 felt "sportier" then his M3 because of it's lightness. Unfortunately, it only looks light since it's smaller than the 3 series, and probably felt sportier since the M3 is such a hog (3700+ lbs!). The 135 is actually 3300+ lbs, which is embarrassi...

That strategy only works if you want to qualify in the top 3.

No it's not too late (deadline is start of qualifying - 5am PST Saturday). Also just edit your original post instead as that shows the timestamp of your changes.

BOLD pick Ramy (for 3rd)....that qualifies as "bonus" cookie potential if it comes through in 3rd.

1. Felipe Massa - Ferrari
2. Robert Kubica - BMW
3. Kimi Raikkonen - Ferrari

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b2LSGtwcNE See Aaron, that qualifies as a "spoiler", so an FYI to you...I did watch the race when it recorded last night so I know all about BIMMERWORLD and the extinction of the team at Watkins Glen. Poor James Clay. Nice work on ChaseCam catching everythi...

So let's see....market tanks again today (Dow Jones down 1.08%) and "DUBYA" wants to go drilling in more "holes" for "black gold"!!!

You can add electronics to that because BMWs (German cars in general) suck crap in that dept.

That's what the M3 comes with. The new one (E92 chassis) right? Yep, the V-8. Which 0-60 magazine puts up against the RS4, IS F and C63. M3 still champ. Really? Even with that weight? Guess a V-8 with 414HP makes a difference. As for $50 spark plugs, it'd better win with that price tag! Have only s...

So what will you get? Daily-driver or for Solo?

No. A gay man where "ghey" Ferrari red socks, thinking it's going to make him PAX 1st overall at every Cal Club regional auto-x event

Well considering in 2001 when BMW came in and demolished the field then those pansy whiners in those VWs (er...I mean Porsches) bitched and moaned, BMW said "See ya!" And if you look at SCCA Touring challenge it's the "Mazda and Acura" spec car show. Make the rules a bit fairer....

Would it be productive to discuss that here Note the title of this forum John........ Public Rules Discussion . It is very "productive". Now whether or not it makes into the "rules" that's another story. You know how it goes...politics an all. Every club's different, etc...etc.....

AW C'MON BOB!!!!!!!!!! You just SPOILED it for me!! Damn you

Come on Gio, get somewhere to host the picture and then post it so that we don't have to go scrolling through you picture :D http://images.paultan.org/images/BMW_M3_Race_1.jpg The scrolling is meant to show the DEPTH and MASSIVE power of the M3 :) So how's living in "The 2nd" city? :)

Just because Mazda's slogan "That there are more Mazdas racing than any other brand" STILL doesn't make it a "race car". Here's a REAL RACE CAR I dunno... Is a "race car" that has never run a race, a "race" car? I think you gotta wait till '09 to make that cl...

Well...after that AWESOME 1-2 punch of grocery-getters in Canada, let's make it a repeat. How about it Bill? Will Ferrari crash in the pit lane again?

Get your picks in people. Qualifying starts at 5am PST.
