I have never driven an auto BMW, so the only things I know about SMG is from what I have read. But other than that, it would be a great DD.
Also I think the search is broken so forgive me if this is a repost. I searched BMW M3 and it came up with nothing in the auto section.
Fancy a 214mph RS6 Avant, anyone? Then give MTM a call. That’s what its Audi clocked at a recent speed event on the Nardo high-speed bowl in Italy.
To hit that sort of speed, the Audi tune-meisters had some boffins look at the RS6’s 5.0-litre V10, then fiddle with it until 702bhp was being sent to the wheels. No wonder it did 0-124mph (that’s 200kph in German) in 11 seconds… which is still nearly four seconds off the Veyron's time. Hmm, disappointing.
