M3s are fun little zoom cars...

Just saw an episode of Top Gear (one of my favorite shows) the other night and it featured Jeremy testing the M6 (European version,most likely).As he's driving he's ticking off all the (many) things he didn't like about the car until he says something like "I guess I'll press this button that says 'M'"...and I guess the thing was transformed into a beast.From that moment on I thought he was gonna reach that point of ultimate romantic excitement (family website,don't you know)!

Yup that is what is neat about modern automotive control systems, it can give cars “multiple personalities” to fit the mood and/or conditions.

My 750 has a simple “sports mode” that firms up the suspension and changes the shift pattern.
