M235i on Ga 400 in Alpharetta

Ran into an M235I today. Nice looking car in person. Had a little fun on GA 400, I was surprised how quick it was. It seemed like we were dead even (I was in my M3). I wonder if he had any mods.

Has anyone run against an M3 yet?

Checkout this video from our One Lap of America M235i at Memphis Dragway last week.

Admittedly the driver of the M3 was a little slow in his reaction time, but nevertheless the M235i acquitted itself quite well.

Very nice! I am surprised but I guess it's a good thing.

This race does not make any sense. Plus we don't know what the mods are for either car or if they are both stock. Don't know if m3 had DCT or manual

The M3 had manual transmission and a Dinan tune, not sure if it was stage 1 or 2.

On the performance front the M235i the mechanical limited slip diff, and on the appearance side, the following BMW M Performance Parts were installed; front splitter, black grilles, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, steering wheel with race display, and pedals.

And now you know.

A guy in my neighborhood has an M3, but I've never seen him on the road to make a "scientific" comparison about speed.
