If the M760Li at 4900lbs can make the 0-60 run in the low 3's as I expect, the F90 at 7-800lbs lighter should at least match the Merc and certainly handle better.

I know it's a BMW blog but it's ironic how here the M's automatically handle better than the AMG's but in real world reviews and professional driver's opinions the cars are neck and neck. I've seen multiple reviews where the C63 was faster than the M3 and the E63s was quicker than the M5 around a track and vice versa. Amg also has the gts and upcoming gt-r which are from countless reviews supurb and handle marvelously. Bmw has nothing to compete. Same thing can be said for AMG in F1 where they are the current team to beat. I LOVE BMW but this isn't the 90's and other manufacturers have caught up. It's not a "given" for BMW to be the best handling vehicle anymore.  |
Yeah I agree, this is not the old days, can't just assume BMW always wins in the handling category. Even the American car companies have stepped up. GM's CTS-V and Z06 are both spectacular on the track. Z06 on Sachsenring is only slightly off 918's time and much quicker than the likes of 911 TTS and 458 Speciale.
