[@gabspopo2300]

Thank you very much for the lap Misha ! As usual, great driving. It's pretty surprising to feel your driving from the passenger seat as on video you seem to be sawing at the wheel quite a lot and in reality the car feels very balanced and your inputs are very subtle. As a long term viewer it meant alot to me that we could do this lap and I'm quite surprised at to how well the video comes up. Really impressed by it ! Many thanks to Adrian for the great work as well !! Otherwise, I hope to come back next year with some issues solved. New suspension springs, AP brakes all around, half cage and harnesses, a few details and most importantly a good set-up by Karl. And a re-tune as the vanos was leaky and the car was missing 50nm or so. It would be interesting to do a comparison lap if you want ! I hope you have a merry Christmas and wish you a happy new year !

[@mgcharoudin]

Thank you again so much for this lap! Sounds like a serious weapon in progress! I'd love to do a comparison lap! See you next year!

That sound, and pick-up from any rev, its really flexible, always power. One of the nicest engines ever and an E36 feels nimble, good frontend grip. Its just got it all. Im an Alfa Romeo guy, but man, these were the type of cars Alfa should have been building. Maybe a 155 in racetrim was succesful. But no matter how I love the Busso V6, the M 6inline sounds just as good and is wayyyy more powerful.

@@bimmer.joo34 it's maybe more accurate to say "inspired" by the CSL airbox, as the S54 one won't fit directly onto the S50. A bit pedantic, yes, but enough to make it harder to find one that fits 😆 The S54 can sound nice with the right exhaust (and yes, the airbox makes a big difference). The US-market S54 is what I think gave it a bad rep, as the asymmetric mid-pipe made it raspier than the RoW spec.
