Video of the Week: Behold, The One True M3
Post by Kasey Kagawa
The BMW M3 is one of the most ideal cars on the market. Attractive, practical, and quick as hell, it allows those of us of the speed freak persuasion who work in an office to own a car that allows us to feed our desires for quick driving and still own a car that the your boss thinks is management material.
Of course, there’s nothing remotely corporate about the M3s in this week’s video, aside from the sponsor ads plastered on the side. This M3 was driven by Patrick Snijers in FIA Group A on the Manx International rally event on the Isle of Mann, and as mentioned in the video, is absolutely flying through the Manx countryside. Enjoy the beautiful vistas and the sound of a 2.4L F1-derived BMW straight-four screaming as Snyers rockets over the rough and narrow backcountry roads.
(Edit: Corrected Patrick Snijers’ name, thanks ICEFARMER!)
Patrick Snijers,the driver of the Bastos-M3 in this video,is one of the best rallydrivers here in Belguim.He was several times Belgian champion,and also European champion.
The M3 was the perfect car for him.
An other Belgian driver Marc Duez competed in the world championchip.
