      Giulia QV would be realistically the only competition for the M3 these days, and I’m thinking that’s only for the greater breadth of suspension settings allowing for a softer daily setting, as well as the styling/relative rarity of the car. I think it’s more of a traditional sports sedan vs a track monster.

    I have the manual and honestly even in sport everything the car is still a very comfortable ride. I was surprised as well cause you step on the gas it is a race car. Steering is super light with little feed back but honestly the grip is so good you barely have to use brakes when on the road . You exit the corner thinking I could of went faster. Maybe the steering is so good ….. it feels bad . Not sure but I know what your saying. Something seems off. I keep m1 in comfort everything and then m2 sport everything . Hitting that switch changes the exhaust sound. Just blends during m1 and then in m2 becomes an absolute animal as you wave goodbye . Great video !

    Another fantastic comprehensive video, covering the points that matter to enthusiasts. I don't track mine at all but echo your praise of the chassis design, even in spirited daily drives. Far too many journalists focus on its drag racing capabilities. Question for your track laps - did you run them in Comfort, Sport or Sport+ ?

    • @dwnshft

      Ran the hot laps in track mode with the minimized center screen, graduating tac cluster style, and tire temps

      @@dwnshft Sorry, I should have clarified - I was referring to the chassis/suspension settings. I've noticed this car definitely has very distinct differences between the three configurable suspension stiffness modes. Just wondering if the hardest chassis mode makes a difference on lapping.
