I drive the new models as a living, All models and random BMWs up to I3/8 & M3/4/5.
The new F56 JCW is bloody good fun, I've never been a fan of AT transmission until I drove these cars.

The standard cars once warmed up have a great exhaust note. Pop and bang like no tomorrow, Not a fan of the 5Dr F55 or the brand new F54 Clubman mind.

One day I had to drive a F56 Cooper SD 250 miles on a test, It holds the road well and goes well too.
