Randy's Take:
On handling: It is a good-old powerful front-engine, rear-drive car in the M3 tradition, and it is capable of doing slight power oversteers off the corners, which is something I really enjoy, something I really like. So I found I could balance the car on exit to do that little power oversteer. And it has a little bit of entry understeer.
On braking: The brakes stuck with me. They took a fair amount of effort, but the braking keeps the car from wanting to turn. But in general it doesn't want to -- it's not real anxious to turn.
On the engine: It's got a lot of torque. And it's funny: It's an inline-six turbo, but it kind of sounds like a V-8. Inside the car, anyway. The power's good. It's a little lazy as you get near the redline. (Power falls off) a little bit, but it's super torque-y in the middle of the corner. It pulls strong after the shift.
Overall: You can drift the car now, and it's one of the things I liked about M3s all along -- front engine, rear drive, power oversteer drifter. And this car is back. It's an improvement over the E92, big improvement over a stock E92 in my opinion.
