I realize this exhaust is tuned differently than the stock 335 e92...more aggressive. But, this is not the performance exhaust, right? Anyone?

I was starting to believe the car couldn't really handle the turns that fast.... can't wait to see this thing on Top Gear under the control of the Stig

It is still missing the suspension changes. I don't drive down the drag strip everyday. In fact I won't. I prefer better suspension which makes autocross and track days feel better.

Top Gear won't get the iS unless they come to North America again. Last time they ended up with a cow on the roof and a whole lot of trouble after that.
And Schumacher is right, that looks to be a F10. Slower still. Bit disturbing how similar they are.

Hammond tested the E90 when it first came out (I think it was a 320d, doesn't get much more dull than that) and I disagree with the comment about it not being cool to push a demo car like this one...I'm pretty sure they gave these to journalists on a race track for a reason.
Also, in the video you can clearly see that the track was completely empty in front of him so he wasn't being held up by anyone. |

I took turns faster in my dad's 1964 Valiant driving the streets of San Francisco a long time ago. I'd love to see the Stig drive this car. As another poster said, Hammond drove the E90 320d and James, Richard and Jeremy drove the E92 M3, but I've never seen the Stig drive an E9x. |

As for the 0-60 times, the track was damp (as you can see in the video) and temps were around 50-55 degrees, so getting a good hookup was a challenge. I have no doubt a 4.7 is possible under the right conditions.

The photos in the article have been edited, but mostly the backgrounds. The angel eyes are accurately depicted in that picture.

You must not have watched Top Gear at all. They've tested many 3 series, the latest E9x as well as E46 328i and they tested a E36 318i which is a 4-cyl engine. So saying they won't test a 3 series, especially a 335is, cause it's "too dull" is just ignorance.
