Which leads me nicely onto the question of what is a CHAV

As i've always understood it stood for council house and vulgar, you all know the white tracksuit wearing knuckle draggers that frequent bargin booze, have 3.5 childen and claim incapacity benefit. Not the interior of a £50k+ car (unless he had a particular good customer base for his white powder round)
just about any home grown footballer is a chav

money has very little to do with it

Looks great but it makes as much sense as one of those Mugen Civcs.

Ultimately garage jewellery but I wouldn't protest too much if someone offered me a drive.

It's going to be priced to compete with the 911GT3 in the UK apparently, 4.4l 440bhp, 40 more lb/ft torque, 100kg less than cooking M3, some actual brakes (6 pot fronts 4 pot rears, unusual for a BMW) roll cage, lightweight bucket seats. Lower, stiffer.

Available only directly from the M division.

Reports of a 7:40 ring time. Slower than GTR (before anyone else points that out)

I'd like, but I probably wouldn't buy, one, even if I had the cash handy. Unless it was better handling than the GT3.

I thought BM had sorted the brake situation out these days? Doesnt the 135i even have decent 6 pot stoppers now? I've always thought it crazy that they make M Division cars that people then have to change the brakes for ones that will last more than a lap! And we are talking full disc and caliper upgrades for £2k not just a set of 'fast road' pads!
