Just interested to see peoples opinions of these, I spent all of saturday tooling round in my mates M3 ...

Very nice car to be fair, all the options and sounds really nice, felt quite pimp driving round birmingham with the roof down ..

Out on the open roads, it has to be said I was quite surprised how slow it was, I was expecting it to be much quicker, I think being around cossies has spolit me in a way as I expect all performance cars to stick you through the back window with the acceleration . But as a poser/fun car you can't knock it, very comfy at 100Mph+ with the roof down, handling is very very nice, such a balanced car, and so much better with the traction control properly off . The one thing I didn't really like about the handling (IMHO) is that the steering lacks a bit of feel, but I think you would learn the car over time and know how hard you could push it. Even with all 4 wheels howling it still felt comletly under control and safe. Brakes are good, again might have been spoilt by AP's on a lighter car, but they just lacked a bit of initial bite, but the power was there.

Overall? For me it would be a 8.5/10, nice car all round, and I would like to try a coupe as well to see how different to the cab it is .. Don't think I would ever buy one though, unless they get to around the 10k mark as they would be a bargin then
