F80 M3 gets beat by Merc E63 AMG Bi-Turbo

Looks like bus lengths in the end.

I'm far from a M3/M4 proponent - quite the opposite actually (just not my style) - but is this a fair comparison? Of course a race is a race, and as an auto afficianado I'll watch any juxtaposition of cars. But objectively speaking, I was impressed the F80 was within bus lengths

My equations from a branding/positioning perspective

CLA45 AMG - M235i
C63 AMG- M3/M4
E63 AMG - M5
CLS 63 AMG - M6 Gran Coupe
CL63/S63 AMG Coupe - M6

Totally unfair comparison! The passenger in the F80 looked heavier and the driver had a full bladder...

Why does the Benz sound like it has such slow upshifts?

MCT tranny? In the second part of the video, you can see the F80 gain a little ground based solely on the speed of the upshift.

Objects in your mirror (and camera) are closer than they appear. I did hear that Benz was the lower hp version (not the new 577hp) but whatever a win is a win.
