I need another drivers car, Lately Ive been having a blast in a lightly modded 1 series tii that bspec bob won for me... but I'm hesitant to dump more money into it because there aren't any aero upgrades available... I love the absence of idrive or whatever the hell that eyesore is in the middle of the m3s dash... do the z4 and regular 135 have that as well?

I've been praying to the GT gods that an e30 m3 will make it into the game someday. no luck yet :)

How do the other beamers compare in fun factor and lap times?
 
M3 GT-R =D

Really like it... either that car or the old "batmobile" BMW... I forgot the proper name for it =/
 
I think the Z4 is pretty awesome. And the M5.
 
As others have said the M3 GTR road car is a beast, I also really like the Z4 M Coupe.
 
E90 M3 is my favourite,it feels so nimble and dynamic for a 1600kg GT car.If you're really concentrating on the drive you won't be focusing on the screen anyway.You'd be concentrating on clipping that apex just right.;)

The 135i also has a nav screen on the dash and that looks more like an afterthought but the screen is smaller.It's got plenty of silky smooth torque and very balanced handling,but not quite as involving or frenetic as the M3.

The Z4M has the most spartan interior and seems very simple and driver centric.It also feels the most raw and edgy but suffers from understeer relative to the other car's.The steering is also a double edged sword as it's heavier but feels abit lazier.For understeer though it's nothing you can't get around with a good jab of throttle.(if you run on comfort soft's like me)

As for speed the 135i and the Z4M should be around the same with the more sophisticated M3 being quickest.
 
Concept 1 series BMW is a real blast but fully tuned with all mods but adjust the LSD to prevent the back end coming out, great car
 
M5. Stage 1 Lightness, a bit more power courtesy of a racing filter, chip, and Intake. Boom. Home made M5 CSL. Kick the back out, punch it. Fun stuff.

Currently ive taken a liking to the 120d. Yeah, its standard, and a 1 series.. but i like the extra torque.

Over all? M3 GTR.

I'm gonna have to try the z4m, sometimes I find that the understeering rwd cars are better at holding those high speed 4 wheel slides that I tend to do alot on the ring.
 
If you don't mind a standard car, it has to be the M3 GTR, but a fully tuned 135 comes close - you can win the Nurburgring 4h with it, in any case.
 
M3 GTR, the only flaw is the pricetag!

Yes, also the cost of engine and chassis rebuilds are ridiculous on the M3gtr (road car) :grumpy:

If you've got enough credits, this and the CSL are well worth it. Superb cars, both of them.

You don't even have to tune them much to enjoy them, if anything, stock, slightly or mildly modified ones (on sports tyres) are awesome 👍

Extremely underated cars - those who know, know, those who don't - miss out.
 
M3 GTR and CSL versions.

The GTR is superb, a pure bred racer for the road. It's brilliant, although it lacks an essential BMW-esque characteristic: A M-built straight six.

Get the CSL. 👍
 
The M3 wins it for me, without a shadow of a doubt. One of my very first cars over 50k and I've loved it ever since.
 
I find the 320i Touring car or a fully tuned 2002tii to be a blast...especially around the 'ring and the M3 GTR is done really well also.👍
