Make sure he doesn't fiddle with all those fancy suspension buttons.

Hey it's not a race

Actually I think you'll find they cocked that up. Barry/my slower times (first visit) the cars were correctly noted as modified but second time I'm sure we were honest and put modified but it seems they have changed it or wrongly inputted the info

Either way I am now 9 places ahead of Barry so clearly I am MUCH better then him

No M135i times yet....will be really interesting to see how they do.

Hopefully conditions are good to get a true comparison

OK.............sprint. Either way, I can see dummy's being spat at dinner time along with the 101 excuses book. Probably mine!

Have we all got Pilot Supers on? (No cheeky 18" Cups Shim!!)

talking of 1 series I got a new car for Wife - 114i Sport

nowt exciting, nowt pretty but ruddy cheapo for a new car. BMW are giving these away!!

sold the old a3 TDI as was getting long in the tooth. got asking of 5250 in private sale so that was bonus.

£200 pcm all in for the 114i and includes parking sensors/comfort park, in alpine white, 17 inch wheels and sport pack as well as £1k off asking price.

will run it for 3 years and then do it again.

bloody good on fuel (1.6 T petrol), 6 speed, I drive dash gubbins and ideal for the wife to smoke around in. got a sport button too if ever I borrow it.

I know its not a M135i but amazing how cheap you can run cars monthly on the personal lease and then tie your cash up elsewhere in other things that do make money medium to long term.

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

I had a chance to give the 118i a little bit of a thrash round some corners last night, and I've changed my mind about it as a result. It was good fun to punt around in, nicely balanced and confidence-inspiring, and surprisingly nippy if you use the whole rev range. Still don't like the steering feedback and it does somehow feel big compared to a CSL...
