Not too long ago we wrote that British auto journalist Chris Harris wasn’t completely ok with the way things were going with his Drive project. Namely, he wasn’t convinced that asking people to pay extra for full length videos was the way to go. In consequence, he decided to start yet another project on his own.
Apparently his new endeavor is called ‘Chris Harris on Cars’ and it’s now live on Youtube, featuring videos of him testing all sorts of cars. Amongst them we found one in which he takes on the brand new F80 M3 and he goes about it in his usual style: sideways.
Ok, admittedly, he isn’t drifting during the entire 10 minute video, but if you’re going to watch it, you’d better be prepared for a lot of on-screen smoke and slow motion shots.
Getting back to the matter at hand here, Chris goes on to call the latest M car ‘brilliant’, ‘superb’ and other fancy words the Islanders use. On top of that, his claims that the ‘motor’ is 'a masterpiece', got us all excited to see him drift some more.
Unlike him, we tested the two-door coupe, the M4 and found it and its engine as good as Harris claims they are. However, we never got the chance to see how the four-door sedan alternative does on or off the track.
Since the two have exactly the same wheelbase and underpinnings, we imagine they aren’t all that different on asphalt. The edge goes to the M3 thanks to its added practicality and better looks in our opinion. But that’s just us and Chris here. How about you? What do you prefer?
