Thanks for the pics!

But, wouldn't it be scary to drive through such a crowd? Can see many a hands caressing, on those in the pics itself :(

Thank you guys for this visual treat against the wet, glistening background.

OT

But whatever happened to the ubiquitous Kerala "mundu"? In all the pictures, I could see only one person "upholding it." Has there been a sartorial revolution lately?

Couple of years back i often spotted this very M3 in my locality i.e. in Mulund ( Mumbai )

If i am not wrong this NFS MW inspired wacky mod & paint job is done by Mkraft (Mulund, Mumbai)

Also saw the review of this ' Supercharged ' M3 in the latest ACI edition, for me the highlight was the M/T. Im sure driving this car would be no less than an event

But disappointing were the numbers pointed out i.e. 0-100 in 7 secs I know 0-100 is not the only thing but hey , this baby is a supercharged M3 , right ?

What do you think guys ? IMO the car has a potential of under 5 secs easily.

Supercharged is for the amount charged for the modification job and not the aspiration of the engine . Kidding ofcourse.

On a serious not, even I was disappointed seeing the figures. I was expecting a 4.2-ish ~ 4.8 secs to 60mph.

This one can be beaten by a pete-ed VRS. Anyone having an idea of why the machine has been limited to thow out the low figures ?

Yes the STOCK E46 M3 was capable of getting to the TON in 4.8ish secs

Also the engine has done only 70,000 kms , is there a performance dip possible ? if yes then too after supercharging it should have achieved the back to factory quoted sub 5 secs to the TON

Wet roads...curve and a heavy right foot! The best news is that the car will be revived, re-fixed and will be back on the road.

Not exactly. Then it would've went sideways or tail-first (oversteer) into the tree. This happened cos an RR Vogue in front was blocking the view and the driver didn't realize a corner coming until it was too late, the RR took the corner and the M went straight into it.

The rear tire actually was near bald and was blamed for causing the crash, but this is what I think happened being an eyewitness.

I have to assume that the parade was travelling pretty quick?! If it was just cruising speed, maybe he could have taken evasive action?

Here is a video I shot of the F430 in the rain!

Supercar convoy at cruising speeds through the ghats, yeah right!

Our RR Sport TDV8 was in 200ish (on the freeway) most of the time, so you can guess. Moreover, it was too early in the morning and we had permission from the authorities.
