[ Follow Ups ] [ M5 Message Board ] [ Msg. Board FAQ ]
Posted by Michiel Houtman (The Netherlands) on November 24, 2000 at 10:02:28:

In the latest German Car magazine there is a supertest done on the new E46 M3 compared to a MB CLK 55 AMG

Some specs/conditions

Speed:200 KM/H
Airtemp: 20 degrees Celcius
Tarmac temp: 16 degrees celcius
Airpressure: 976 mbar


The upforce on the rearaxle is - with rearspoiler fitted - 18 KG with speed of 200 KM/H.

Could anybody provide information on this figure when the rear spoiler is optionally left out. It must be higher but how much ??
