Default M3 vs 332ti at Autobahn

A lap at Autobahn Country Club from a '97 M3 following my '96 332ti (318 with M3 motor)

I think it's interesting to note the differences in rear suspensions between an E36 and an E30. With no rear sway bar, I can turn in quicker on some corners and gain ground; on other corners, he closes up. We did this all day--one of us leading, the other following, sometimes on the other guy's bumper--and got blue passing flags all day. Well, blue passing LIGHTS, because Autobahn now has electronic flag stations. Not sure I like them. You can barely see them on the video, and they are not as attention-getting as somebody waving a flag.

Best lap was a 2:53.

What my car needs is bigger tires. I'm running 235x17s, because they are the only ones that fit. I'd like to put on fender flares and 245x17 (maybe 255 in the rear). Anybody done this?
