Wtf endurance is 13 mins lul. Still crap. The BMW could go for about an hour until the tank is empty, then refuel for 30secs and go for another hour.
M3 Looks Great.
Other than that grill.
This is a tyre test, not a car test. Put both cars on the same set of track tyres
I don’t particularly like BMWs but I’ll take one over that can of soup any day of the week!
I couldn’t care less about EVs even if the Tesla did a <5min lap of the Nordshleife while having the ride quality of a Rolls Royce.
