To be fair it's a very well looked after one that i drove, also around town that SMG box is a joke and very harsh gear changes. As you said you can drive it like a bellend and it's very forgiving but i still couldn't get my head around the amount of understeer.

Touching on performance again on the line without using launch they just aren't very quick. They come in to their own from about 80 onwards i found. Very comfortable and refined but i was left feeling disappointed.

An E92 would make mince meat of an E46 though.

Not really to be honest.
There isn't THAT much in it.
A e92 is 250hp per tonne
E46 215hp per tonne
Not enough to make mince meat but certainly faster.

Can see why I thought e93s are meh though.
219hp per tonne
NO wonder my bros one feels faster when you take into account the weight and the refinement/size

+200kg on the Coupe!

Try a Superbike, then you'll soon realise they make ANY car out there seem a bit lame and slow to accelerate. Yes LOL

Laugh my ass off

Stan is right, BUT its a different kind of thrill experiencing quick acceleration in a car though. One which I often prefer oddly enough.

Am, and forever will be a car man. Big grin

See now, interestingly I've always been a car man until 3-4 years ago. Now, I'm thoroughly a bike man and find no interest or excitement in cars whatsoever. I never thought that would be the case as I've ALWAYS been die-hard into cars, but I guess interests change. Yes

We wasn't talking about circuits or B roads, we were talking about acceleration alone. Yes

I'd take a proper bike any day over a motorbike.
It's worth it when the girls holler 'Check out those glutes!', 'Those quads are dreamy' and 'I think I have a rash'.
