      I don't think realistic is having the car step out and nearly spin because it can't put power down whatsoever in a 30mph slight kink. That, I call bullshit on.

          Maybe you had the setup wrong?

              Anything more than 300hp or so was useless. You spin and spin off the line and every time you use the throttle in a turn you spin out if you aren't super careful.

              Forza 4 is definitely better, still a little slippery, but much better.

                I never had a problem with RWD and any Forza, but then again I am a super nerd when it comes to car games.

                Forza 4 apparently has a new physics engine. So far I think it feels more realistic. The "snapping" out of a drift is much different. I am having a harder time with all assists off in FM4 so far.

                BUT, the interiors are actually nice this time and the sounds are awesome. The E30 M3 is sweet. I couldn't drive it in FM3 because it never felt "real". The world tour is fun too because it keeps it interesting and you keep visiting new and different places.

                EDIT: I cant wait to see if I can swap the Prius with a V8 :)

                    What are the odds it has working defroster? If so, I'm interested.


                    Looking for a clean e30 shell for a project.

                      The defroster worked great on those cold mornings up here - price is right too -

                          Agreed! The E30 M3 is a blasty-blast to drive this time! I've got that thing hanging it's ass out on every corner. Not really the fastest, but it's fun to have to really drive the piss out of it to beat the other cars. On the last few racing sims, i've always bought a car, then max it out in the class I want to run it in. This time I haven't bought any mods yet, and just trying to push me & the car to the limit... much harder!!!

                          When I do mod the M3, what settings are you guys doing? I always suck at this part and make the car really twitchy/unstable.

                            I pick a class I want the car to be in and the first thing is always tires. Then suspension. I usually tweak spring rates and sway bar rates. In FM3 those seem to have the most noticeable difference. I already found out that in FM4 the settings are more realistic. It's much easier to loose it on the corner bumps if you have a really stiff suspension. It's going to take some playing around with.

                                It's true... You should have left the rice can on an asian car, not a BMW. Do not feel sorry for you, mostly you deserved it.
