Having spent plenty o' time in both a newer M3 and the fwd 'avant' (and a q obviously), you are
right. The m3 feels really stable until you reach its limits. At least the Q lets you know bad
things are going to happen where the M3 just goes away.  However I would still think the m3 wouldnt
even break a sweat to keep up with the sable... Maybe he knew his limits and didnt want to cause an
accident? (what? Someone driving responsibly?)  :)
