I'm not sold on the design. I prefer the older shapes.

looks good from every angle but the rear. Not a fan of the boot overlap over the tail lights look. Would still take an A45 AMG at 10k less over this.

Yes the M3 -2015 turbo version is quick, based on a tete ta tete yesterday bout 2 cars lengths to the front of mine by end of 3rd, need an extra plus/minus 35 rwkw odd to even it up.

Jeez- this would be like a gokart in handling, tight and small, would be a LOT of fun round corners and on a track.

Nice car specs very similar to the 1 series M, now that was an absolute rocket with handling to match. I would prefer the original to this as the M2 has been refined and made easier to drive to please the masses and sell in numbers where the previous animal was aimed purely at enthusiast with a track focus with limited build numbers and all were manual.

There's M3's in the 10's with bolt ons, this is lighter and half the price. Not to mention slightly better built than a HSV for the same price. I'd take one!

More mod stuff for BMW's than anything apart from the Mustang makes me think this is a good one to start with. I'll take one in white thanks!
