You have to read between the lines. They never say the cars are comparably equipped.

I've seen enough E46 M3s on scales to know what they really weigh. It's a lot more than 20lbs heavier.

Still, it's a GT. It's not meant to go to the track (the brakes won't survive more than a couple laps anyway), it's meant to cruise public roads. And for that, it'll be a brilliant car.

I agree, almost everyone on the m3forum has a brembo BBK. Its just something they have to upgrade.

M3s don't get fancy brakes like we do, and the uneven force on the brake pads from the single-piston caliper doesn't really work so well for hard track use.

There are many great automobiles out there. We often speak of them, alone or in comparo mode.

No issue here.
