M135i
 
Had a test drive in a M135i at Elms with a few trick bits on , good power when you got it to rev, lots of dials to look at also the rev lights were quite cool on the steering wheel, had a nice sound when you put your foot down hard, the brakes were good but if you tracked it I would think they would fade and get very hot quick but ok for road use, it did hold the road well but had quite a bit of roll when you hit the corners hard, all in all a nice car for £34k new so in 2 or 3 years time would be great value for money, good car but not for me the search continues

I've got one of these today whilsy my daily is in for a service

Impressed , drives nicely , quick etc .... but as a daily driver think I'd prefer a 6 cyl diesel , like a 330/335 of 530 etc , and as a toy its no way near the fun levels of the CSL. If I only had to have one car though, it would be up there on the list

I love mine. Had it a year now and still brings a smile to my face every time. Noise is better with a few miles under the belt and also engine feels keener. It's a proper hooligan machine when your in the mood.

All I need to complete the full owners experience is to get it on track with Curly for scalpin'. :wink:

Might throw an LSD on it but leaving stock otherwise. It's quick enough.

Drove an RS3 a couple of weeks ago and other than being quick it was boring in comparison.

Agree with Alex,it's not a csl! But any cars gonna be a comedown after them:)

But for under 30k it's a quick well sorted for road and a bit of trackwork as standard.

Did a wet trackday last week and the grip it had was quite impressive
