Chris Harris M3 at the Ring

[waremark]

Have enjoyed vid of Autocar's Chris Harris in his own new M3 on a streaming wet Nurburgring. What do you guys think? (13 min vid)

Well, I reckon that will partially arrest the £10k a week depreciation that some are forecasting! FWIW other than feeling it's a bit high I actually think the seat is pretty good.

But do you think it was slippery though?

Hi All. Not sure if I'm allowed on here with a humble 130i but here goes !

Loved the video. I have got a lot of respect for CH and the M3 but it did seem a bit odd that the in car shots had hardly a whiff of opposite lock but the exterior shots were very sideways ? Why not do the showboating when the camera was in the car ? (And having said that I would confess to having nowhere near enough skill or bottle to do this myself !)

Dramitic effect?

When the camera swaps to outside, you can still hear his comentry in the car.

Even though it is a repost, it's still a very good vid and probably one of Harris' best.

Not sure - will have to watch vid again and see if he mentions it................................!

I'd love to see the same video but him in a press car, I wonder if he'd leave the traction control turned on then! Great video as it gets across his genuine fear of binning his own car, and he manages to talk most of the way through.
