I love the M3 but feel it's just a bit too big. A 1 series with a lot of power would be great, as I could possibly even trust the doris to park it

Actually motors shows never really interest me but this Paris one seems to have a lot to offer from various manufacturers.

No, black rubber just doesn't do it for me.

Now, if it was wearing a maid's outfit.......

what's the price?

I doubt you'll be able to get a well-specced one for under £35K

I reckon the base car will be much nearer £40k .

I've driven the 135 and found it fast but dull, IYKWIM.

For me the engine doesn't have enough character, it's a blown 3.0. This M version will probably have 350ish bhp.

I want to get excited about it, but I can't.
