Lol, that started I belive with the Subaru Guys... AWDFTW= All Wheel Drive For The Win!....

 

Okay, it must be popular I see it on almost all "R" related apparel. That is the thing about the Swedes they are not big on ego or bragging are they. I would rather see something a little more assertive you know.

Dude, how do I upload a pic to my profile? even the small ones they say are to large.

 

AHHH....YES! the good olde R-sport. This is where it originated, so I guess that it would carry out through that. If you find, have, or use a R-sport product, keep it! Those products are getting very expensive, and harder to find each year.

R= R-sport which= Race inspired or Racing [sm=smiley2.gif]

Now a true M these days has the big V8 400ish HP, the 2000-06 Ms have 333hp, and my favorite Ms, the 90-97 have 240hp.
They all had some minor styling to seperatethe Ms from the wannabes (sp?).

 

I used Microsoft windows picture manager in the Photo folder of my laptop. Once I opened that, I resized it to 140x140. It is a custom number. That's assuming u have Vista. Whatever program u use, that's the MAX. resize allowable. Once u save that it should allow u to use it as an Avitar!...damn, that was a mouthfull,lol...

 

They have to fit inside the 145x145 or 25kbs.
You cant exceed either of the two.

EDIT: download an image viewer called FastStone Image Viewer, through cnet.com (download.com).
It is one of the better image viewers I have used, and it has great editing tools. Just keep the AR the same or the image will look distorted.

 

This should be moved to Off Topice section or General Volvo Chat section.....well that is where it is headed [sm=smiley2.gif]

 

I went here and got the PPC unit. I've read that IPD is also highly recommended.

Yes. IPD, RICA, BSR, Evolve...etc. they are all suppose to be "good" [sm=smiley2.gif]

 

Sorry I didn't mean to get off track by all means lets keep it in the realm of the R vers the M

 

Dude, its your threar. Dont worry about it do what you want. But I only suggest it be put to its proper area

 

The question was asked about programers, Evolve doesn't have them. The ECU has to be sent out.

 

OKEY DOKIE (sp?)


Anyways....Back to the M vs. R topic.

I think both cars are beautiful works of engineering. Both have similar speed capiblities, and both can handle very well.
The Ms are usually lighter, so I would only come to the conclusion that the M will out handle the R. If you could get the RsAWD system to become a fulltime AWD, then I would highly think the R could out acceleratethe M any day.

 

TIPSP thanks for the input, if there is a better place for the thread let do it. I am new to this forum so I am not sure about a lot of features.

ANYWAY, the BMW guys just bug me with their attitude and I'm German! I agree the M is a great car I would love to be able to drive both one weekend at Infineon raceway and feel the difference my self.

 

You already started the thread here, so just keep talking here.
Yeah the BMW attitude is jsut like the Merc. attitude. It is annoying.

Now This is problably my favorite M3:


It looks stock .



It is a 98 superchargedM3 sedan (my favorite), modified suspension, exhaust, intake,custom ECU tuning, BBK...etc. It was for sale a couple of years ago, and I wish I had the money to buy it [:@]. It still is the nicest and cleanest M3 I have ever seen.

Now I dont think the R could keep up with this, but if you were to do the simple bolt on mods, and ECU upgrade, You could out run it .
Like these Rs:




They both have ~385hp

 

Nice cars, I do like the v12 BMW now that is a car, Here is a pic of mine the day I got it at the dealer. She was used but I love her.

 

 

Nice! is that the dark blue or black?

 

And this is my other car.
