Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stefan Rosier" data-source="post: 53124" data-attributes="member: 192">Thank you for your erudite justification on how and why your m3 bores you. Have you been waiting assiduously all evening for my response so that you can showcase your renown wit?Who I am is not relevant. Whts relevant here is that – to cut it simply – you do not seem to know how to drive and most importantly ENJOY an m3. Its akin to saying, after you’ve been paired with a certain ms. A. Rai for a week, that “ she bores me ‘cos she taller than me.” Or with mdm. C. Zeta-Jones for a few weeks, that “she bores me ‘cos she’s such high maintenance.” Or with ms. J. Aniston, that “she bores me ‘cos I’ll rather brad.”  Sacrilege, I say.  A public forum such as this allows you, wee laddie, to be educated, and at no expense whatsoever except to damage that whispering beast behind your left ear called pride and hurt its twin behind your right ear called ego. But lest be assured that we all here are sympathetic to your foibles and shortcomings as much as you are sympathetic mechanically.Launch ControlHave you not an ounce of mechanical curiosity? On how all that ‘electrical mumbo-jumbo’ holds the revs at exactly 4k with the throttle held at the floor and launch awaiting release by just and only your hand? Even ferrari’s famed f1 gearbox does not do this. This is definitely a big deal in the automotive world and of course, its… (wait for it)… INTERESTING. And if you can only really release once a month, you’ll log at least 27 months before needing a new clutch.Its not so much the time that boy racers covet but the sheer technological ability that bmw has so graciously allowed us to humbly experience, outside of sir frank’s domain.Understeer and Wet NoodlesWatcha on, boy? Watcha talking abt?? The e46 m3 has an ultimately adjustable chassis!! From my experience, its oversteer on demand but then do you know how to ask that of it? Do you even know what to ask of the car? Perhaps you’ve been providing the answers before even attempting to ask? Seek and you shall find, boy. It answers with gradual understeer if you overcook it (its actually for your own safety when it washes gradually wide). Do you even know what great steering feel is? If the m3 steers by wet noodles, then a 330i would steer by wet dough. Again, watcha on, BOY?Have you ever experienced it on a track? There’s an altogether an entire driving dimension out there for us mere mortals but then sadly, as an enlightened being, you’ll be bored ‘cos its uninteresting.  I humbly apologise for not having the priveledge to experience a Noble’s great ride and handling. It is not a point of reference that I can relate too. Again my sincere apologies. Does your m3 ride harshly? Mine seems acceptable.DSC and sportIt took me some time (coming from a ravaglia special) but I’ve accepted the fact that bmw needs the m3 to now cater to the masses and by default dumb down to the differing levels (or lack of) of driving skills of its new found buyers. YOU are exactly their target market. DSC aside, now that you’ve discovered sport, don’t you wish that sport ON should have been the default upon ignition and not as it currently is?Throttle mashingAre you even in the right gear and at the right rpms when you compare mashing the throttle between sport and non-sport? I’m sorry but I really dare not to presume anything at all of you now after your petulant response via the ambidextrous use of the English language. My apologies if I’ve offended you.</blockquote>
