In standard form it made over 320 think it was 339bhp some thing like 249 @ fly at PE r/r day so plenty of power in standard from, when i went back to Power Engineering for a ecutek remap etc it made 359bhp at the fly, if you have not drivern one then i would suggest you test drive one, as soon as i did i was making plans to buy one, fortunately my misses has a company car so we do not use it every day (i work abroad) so when i drive it it doesnt bother me filling her up.

If you are planning on using it as a daily driver then um, maybe M3 purely on servicing schedule and MPG but i brought it knowing they were not the cheapest but having wanted one for a long time was prepared to accept these facts,

Hope that helps,

Mike
