My wife came to the conclusion yesterday we should have signed up for TWO of them.

David Relph has a Schnitzer tuned one (360bhp) and even that was slower than the CSL.......

Good girl, I like her thinking.

No but is more effortless overtaking at real world speeds. Very confidence inspiring, especially with 8sp box.

I've got a 118i Sport at the moment as a loaner, and can't say I'm enjoying the driving experience too much. It feels quite tall, heavy and bouncy, and the steering feel is hopeless.

Obviously this thing is way under-powered compared to the M135, but how are you guys finding the driving experience ?

Mine is the slow version without adaptive suspension of the 8sp auto box (6 speed manual) so hard to give just one answer, but I'd say mine feels quick, very quick, day to day quicker than CSL and will Be very interesting to see how fast Curly, me (and Alex if he comes along) wrestles the M135 round bedford west.
