I have decided the steering is utter wank! All electric PAS is utter shit. It's better than most and better than the M3/4 set up but I really think M division should stick to their guns with normal steering like they do with run flat tyres.

However, as is the genius of M division, somehow it doesn't take too much shine off the car. It's a proper balls out tool this thing.

Overall, happy as a pig in shit.
Keep up the reports. Be interesting to read the comparison with Cesil.

Really chuffed for you mate

You def chose right colour and box.

May be down on power compared to M4, but way cooler IMO.

To be honest, for feel and seat of the pants thrills the CSL runs rings round it, pointing and laughing at it. CSL is in bodyshop for a tidy up but looking forward to taking them out with a mate and doing some back to back driving.

Ian, up to 100 it feels every bit as quick mate and as a road motor it's more than enough. It sounds miles better (it's no CSL however )

Yes you should, I want to see more!

My friend has had his a month or so, he loves it, I think they are a superb road car, look and sound really nice.

There was a nice black one for sale at an independent garage near me, I considered one myself.

I really hate this speculative market on new cars. I make money from my business, not new cars. They are to enjoy...................while we can!
