Default BMW figures out how to drive up M3 sales... fudge the test drive

Actually, this is pretty cool coming from a computer gamer. I'd love to have this in my garage and have it run software from different race tracks.

But I would never trust it over a real test drive.. I'm not sure if thats what BMW is going for or not.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-ZX8uq6myU">BMW M3 simulator</a></li></ul>

I'm surprised you don't see RS4's and 911's getting lapped constantly

What power! All of that speed with the car's parking brake on, or at least its handle is up.

Default they had to do *something* in anticipation of all the young punks who will want a test drive.

if they offered that in lieu of a test drive, I'd laugh in their faces.

Default no kidding!

you know, Bob, we common sense purveyors constantly get bombarded anytime we open our mouthes here. it's the same with this full press marketing thing now with BMW's new M3.

if you went to a BMW forum and correctly pointed out the shortcomings of a thing such as this, you would be jumped immediately. would you like to go first, or want me too? what's that namby pamby BMW forum site again?...

Default doesn't matter if the hand brake is up in a hologram

right, BMW. don't drive the car, you will be disappointed. try this virtual crap instead.

we want to get you current BMW M3 owners here at our dealers. then we can flip the switch and easily further brainwash you into a new M3, just, well, because.

and not to worry, you're not likely to come up against an RS4 out there that can kick your azz, any 'real' road, any conditions, any time.
