i like them, i just dont like them 25k it seems silly to sell a lovely m3 and spend 10k for a car for a year is all, if its depreciated that much it will keep on doing so, they are no where near as exclusive as id imagined them being

Green is disgusting. I'd get a white one if you have to have one.

have you been in one in a situation to witness it being pushed right to its limits? and by that i dont mean being driven in any shape manner or form on a public road?

I'm pretty sure if his mate has bothered tuning it to 383bhp then he drives it 'properly'.

yes the fact its been tuned kind of makes my point redundant, broster reinforces my point about standard ones earlier in the thread.

i should imagine a 383bhp one would be fairly capable, however my point is definatly correct that you cannot determine how truley capable a car is by driving it on a public road

I presume the sort of situation you are talking about Steve is in a McDonalds car park with trays under the rear wheels?

Well he nearly drove the wheels off the thing round knockhill even passing 'bruces taxis' evos

As you will most probably know being a track veteran knockhill is made of right corners,the diff on the car was working so hard to stop wheelspin the right tyre was like new and the left was down to the canvas

Have a read in your auto express and see if it covers that situation or does that not count as being driven to its limits?
