The new 2011 BMW M3 is very different from any other car BMW has made. Sure, there are a few things carried over from the 3 Series coupe, such as the trunk lid, the doors, and the lights, but otherwise this is a whole new car. The roof of the car is made of carbon fiber, and if you take a close look you can see the distinctive look. This helps to reduce the weight of the car and it also lowers the center of gravity a bit as well. More than likely the carbon fiber roof is going to become a signature idea of the M Series cars. The whole design of the car is made to look like the car is a performance based car, and once you take a look at the car, you'll never mistake it for anything else.
To keep things fair, the cars can be driven in two different styles. Inexperienced drivers will opt for electronic stability control and other assisted driving implements on, while pros will turn all those off and do things manually. So the news source had two different drivers attempt lap times at the track - the unprofessional automotive writer and a racing champ, Randy Pobst.
