I bet its really quick, the new one has even more torque because of the turbos. It would still be interesting to read your review even though I cant afford it. How does it compare to the M3?

It's an absolute beast, way way quicker than the N/A V8 M3 I had, different gravy altogether.

Loving it so far - the engine, the noisem the drama, the interior, the (relatively) low-key looks, the Burmester speakers.

But most impressive, perhaps surprisingly, are the headlights.

'Intelligent' LED, probably very similar I guess to the Audi matrix lights, they way they adapt to conditions and traffic around them is amazing.

The new shape looks great, I prefer it a lot to the previous shape. I bet the turbos give it even more low rev torque.
Colour is very nice goes perfectly with your mini.
