UF and Nottm you are not wrong

However for mile munching rocket assisted 4-wheel magic carpet the M3 takes some beating.

There are some rapido diesel planet polluters out there hence my FI fantasies - probably as far as it will go.

Just to reassure myself I did some flappy paddle work the other day. Yellow lights all gears.

I reckon MB was well into the 1xx zone if he pulled 4th gear or higher.

Shat myself.

Yeah, its a great GT car. I suspect all fast moderns are all like it to degrees, Audis are much worse, the number of those i've seen doing daft speeds in awful conditions, probably blissfully unaware the car is saving their arse or of the risks they are taking

the S2 makes you aware of everything. Yeah you can do that but you are aware and you need to be awake.. my sc s2 is my council estate exige. Whether i'd ever swap for a £60k real one i dunno haha. A lot of cash

People here at work keep asking why I don't buy a beater for the commute but the M is just so pleasant to do it in I wouldn't want to sit in some shitbox instead!

Yeah I'm surprised how refined and smooth it is when you are just chilling out. Very nice place to be

2000 miles done in it now.

Drinks fuel and needed an ABS sensor but a very serious bit of kit. Still think DCT makes it all a little easy and you miss some element of control without a manual.

Need to get it serviced soon and hopefully get them to update the ECU software, definitely want a bit more noise and the M3 GTS DCT software.
