Jesus didn’t know the x3m were that fast! I’d like one for a daily/dog carrying how do you find it?
If you're dog is good with teeth chattering suspension, it will be fine!

Overall I love it but I waiting for the M3 Touring. It's a decent substitute but don't expect SUV levels of comfort - it's more M3 Comp ride. It's better now with MP4S's though. The ride quality is only really shown up in poor surfaces and more from the booming suspension.

The performance however is epic and many run a simple stage 1 that takes the car to an easily accessible 630-650bhp.

Interior is lovely and it's great to drive - very flat in the corners and the xDrive is very RWD biased. Same 4WD system as the M5, brakes from the M760Li and obviously the new S58 engine from the upcoming G80 M3 and G82 M4.

I live on road that forms quite a large circle, there doesn't seem to much of interest anywhere along it though.

I'd guess my Caterham is the fastest accelerating and the Insignia VXR down the road probably fastest top speed. Apart from that there was an RS4 until recently but nothing else quick by any means.

Yes and probably within a twenty mile radius, could be more but I’m being cautious.

There's a 991 Targa, a DBS and an i8 (might be quicker than that), so probably 3rd.

My slk sounds best though!!

Only been at my new place for 2 weeks so no idea what other cars are in my small area, but if anyone has something quicker than my C7 Corvette Z06 (or even the Evo for that matter) I’m looking forward to seeing it.

I think so - the only things that come close are an Audi SQ8 TDi thing, and a Tesla Model 3.

The Tesla might be quicker to 60, but the Alfa won't stop til 190mph apparently.

Mine definitely sounds better smile

Yes, I can't fathom P-P's reason for posting, bit of a dumb viewpoint on a car forum too! Trying to be edgy I guess.

I was trying to work it out, my reclusive neighbour over the lane has some lovely cars which I was mentally ticking off (80s 911, DB4 Vantage, M135i), but I don't think any are _quite_ as quick as my Focus RS 350.

Then I suddenly remembered his Cayenne Turbo.

And his mate down the road with a Ferrari (430?).

My cars have owned my, obviously, cul-de-sac, since I moved here 12 yrs ago.
A V8, then a flat 6 and now a straight 6 have ruled the roost with little competition although one old boy kept a perfect 80s Astra 1.2.
Luckily a monstrous-sounding Mustang lives just further round the village.

Probably got the fastest and slowest in my mundane street. 330i and air-cooled VW T25.

There is an R8 round the corner, but I try to ignore that.....

Several Tesla model S around here which are probably the quickest unless someone has something tasty hidden in a garage.
In the work carpark its probably the Roush Mustang, but a colleague has a Stingray on order. My skoda doesn't get a look in

I believe so. With my 25 year old Ferrari F355.

Although around the corner, on a different road is a F430 Scuderia.

There are only about 50 houses in my "Dead End Street" and there is only 1 other petrolhead!

My BMW Z4M Coupe might be, but it all depends what sort of tune the V8 in his GT40 kit-car has!

I've only seen it once a few years ago when he was fettling it for his annual trip to Le Mans, which is how I know it has a V8. The rest of the time it seems to live in the garage.

But I know he is still there as he has the same 2005 V8 Mustang daily on the drive. Which is more powerful than my 2005 BMW 330i but possibly no quicker.

I'd settle for a draw. laugh

I’m afraid not. My SLK350 is no match against a Diablo and Huracan

Given my road is a few miles long I'd hazard a guess at no - I'd also hazard a guess that I have the noisiest though hehe
