M3 Call-Out!

[BK63AMG]

good times man!

Brought the car in yesterday to go under the knife and get that ticking sound fixed and have the blower/gauges installed, shortly after a very unfortunate incident took place last night and we lost a dear friend and co-owner of AutoCoture Motoring named CJ (he owned an ess vt2-650 e90 m3). Extremely sad news for all his friends and family - he was a sweetheart, and extremely knowledgeable when it came to the S65 M3. Rest in peace CJ, you will be missed by many.

What a tragedy. Sorry to hear...

i heard about that, truely a sad day for us all, and more so for his family.
I tried to contact Sal, if not much I can do, but if he needs anything, im here

yeah, I dont think he has his phone on him at this time

Really a sad event. I went to highschool with the owner of Auto and have met Sal a handful of times. Never met CJ. Keep it safe guys.

Manual can stay in third almost all the way through the back half past the 1/8. The DCT needs another shift and won't accelerate in 4th as fast as the manual accelerates in 3rd.

Sure but 3/10?! In only 12 mph....that is a lot of time to make up in not much space.

It's two separate runs/tests (1/4 and 0-100) - read their testing methods for 1/4 mile - it's not the same as 0-100...

I think all they are saying here is using the best 0-100 they got with both cars, the DCT (using best #s) was .4 seconds ahead. The best 1/4 mile they got with both cars - same thing, but less difference.

I could be missing something - not sure.

Cheers.

ah got it...that makes a little more sense

The manual can't make up the shift time as much as it can get more trap. The DCT buys you ET more than anything.
