^^ I agree. I downloaded it last week. I agree with Linds: it is hard to play it with the keyboard and mouse (plus it is kinda hard to do it at work without getting noticed).

ok, i just played it a little bit and it kicks ass.

of course it cant really capture the essence of driving that actual bimmer, but as far as video games go, i like it.

lemme play it some more to get a better feel for it.

You are underestimating the video game demographic. People in their 30s grew up with video games. Also, this will be a great marketing strategy even if it does not result in sales of E92 M3's. A free quality video game will induce in people a good concept of BMW. Also, this may entice many to explore th marque by buying used BMWs or other, non-M3 BMWs. This game will do a lot more to push the BMW name than it will to push the M3 name.

ok, so far, i still love this game.

i have never seen car models that look so good. in all other games, the car modeling makes good looking cars look like crap.

and it has online play. i say we all get on there sometime and race each other. if they only had an E30 on there

i tried it with a game pad and it is somewhat better, but its still hard. its so damn realistic and i have to say it looks almost as good as GT4.
