Spotted on Sunday afternoon near Prum as I was on my way to the Ring. Was in a M135i. Was great to see a British CSL being used as intended!

Was I going straight?

Was a bit damp wasn't it?!

At Prum, was I going round in circles? My SatNav was pants... Got a bit waylaid!!

What colour was your car?

Haha yes you were going round in circles! You were on the roundabout pulling onto the autobahn.

We had travelled down the E42 for some autobahn action but bailed at the last minute due to the weather and had just come off to go across country.

Very wet, hope you weren't on semis!

I was in a white M135i in a convoy of three cars. Yours looked great!

Did you just go for weekend? Assume on way home

Yep, the Cups had their work cut out for them to be sure. No aqua-planing fortunately, but quite a few slides in the country roads. Some not intentional!

All part of the learning RWD, or so I kept telling my passenger,

Yes went out early Saturday (got there around 2pm), staying at Sliders (don't go there!) and caught the 8.50 train back. Stayed at the ring in the morning/lunchtime, but as soon as the ring opened it was immediately closed again with another off somewhere. Only thing moving was the Taxi...

It's certainly slippery when wet!

Seeing your CSL makes me wish I took mine, but having only covered 200 miles since purchase, and on Cups I am quite pleased I didn't. My MPSS struggled in the wet on the M135i.

For the record the M135i was great. Quick round the track and super fast everywhere. Left the Ring at 9am this morning, via Luxembourg and Spa. Found the limiter at 160mph and sat there at the autobahn for quite some time. A spirited to say the least drive all day. 32mpg. Impressed.
