10tacle studios (GTR2) has developed a pretty nice game about the new M3. It's available at the BMW website, completely free.

It's highly recommended to use a wheel. Enjoy.

P.S. Caution: you may feel the irresistible need for buying a new M3 :D

M3 E92 rules!!! 8)

its uber hard to drift, but once you start getting used to shifting to 2nd and whipping it around, you feel like a DK. only problem is the same long load times that i get in GTR2....

yeah in fact its a GTR2 mod, but they made it like a game apart ;)

it's very realistic, some BMW engineers helped out in that part.

Hmm, a must check I suppose.

EDIT: Hey, nice download speed (from bmw.com). Didn't take long to get(~830kB/s, about 7 mins for the whole 345MB file). Opinions later on.

First impressions:

Looks and feels very nice. Obviosly limited as a game, but an excellent showcase for BMW. Physics seem realistic, though I haven't really pushed the limits yet.

I got 2:22 with TC on lvl 1 and no other assists, except ABS. i like it, someone should create a nfsunlimited server or so .. so we could compete.

I'd like to see videos of you guys getting such good lap times. Not that I don't believe you, I just want to say how you do it.

The Hot Lap save .VCR file isn't very big (122 kB) so I could attach it even here if you'd like ?

Umm... sure, I guess. I'd have no idea what to do with it, though. I assume there's a folder you need to put it in?
