The new BMW F80 M3 got a sparkling review from one of the most exigent men in the biz last night, Mr. Jeremy Clarkson. In the latest episode of Top Gear, the famous presenter took on both the 3-liter biturbo machine and the i8 and came out with a rather interesting conclusion. We’ll let you find out what he picked.
However, he isn’t the only one that can get smoke coming out from under the rear fenders with a BMW M3. You might not have heard of Deon Joubert but he’s a skilled driver that works with South African Car magazine and takes all the latest performance models for a spin. His usual playground is the Aldo Scribante race circuit and this time he has a special guest.
She’s also a celebrity in South Africa and she managed to win the title of Miss Port Elizabeth last year. Nicola Grobbelaar was courageous enough to hop into the sedan with Deon behind the wheel.
Needless to say that the 3-liter biturbo 6-cylinder engine under the bonnet and its 431 HP accompanied by 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque are enough to get anyone scared, let alone a damsel such as Nicola.
Therefore, you can imagine what happened the moment the beast was set loose on the track with a skilled driver behind the wheel, right? Well, you won’t be disappointed, I can vouch for that.
The thing is, she seems rather happy and enjoys the show, even saying that this is better than having a boyfriend at one point. Well, we won’t argue there...
