Forget all the bullshit about 6 gears in an M3. I used to drive a tractor with 48 gears! 2 brake pedals that meant i could turn it inside out on itself plus a locked diff that meant i could put it in LOW 1 and follow it up the field for miles in a straight line driving itself while i loaded sacks of potatoes on the trailer. If i saw an M3 coming towards me i'd drive on the white line and swerve about like a yokel on the cider. What fun!!
The tractor that I drove only had 6 forward gears. But it had a 10-foot wide front end loader mounted on it that used about 12 8-foot steel tines to scoop up hay bales in the field. To counter-balance the weight on the front, there was a 1/2 ton of wheel weights on the back wheels that mounted oversize 24"-wide tires that were mostly filled with water.As between the tractor and any approaching car on the road, BMW or otherwise, it was the car that chose to do the swerving.
