Fair enough.

The car is rather wide at 1803 and 4380 length i.e. 41%, about the same ratio as the M1. AFAIK, no other M car reaches that ratio, most under 40%. I wonder how much that contributes to the fun handling.
Well, you only gave me one word so it was hard! Thought I might set out my final thoughts on the car overall in a day or so - if anyone can bare to read 'em!

Great vid - thanks for posting!

As I said, 1M = FUN but not a 'handful'.

Top Gear was really good on Sunday and clarkson likes a BMW. In fact he praised all M cars as being superior to any other manufacturer. Well done that man!!

The Evo test commented that the brakes were a bit fierce on light application, something I have not found to be a problem with any of the M cars I have driven, is this the case, it is something I dont like.

I certainly haven't noticed that so I'd say no it's not the case. I'm a real heal'ntoe/blending on of brakes & throttle and left foot braking fan so think I'd have noticed if they were a bit 'sharp'.

Don't you think wearing a helmet may be a little pointless if it did go wrong!

Saw a BSM 1M today at my dealers whilst dropping mine off for 1200 mile service.

Anyone on here?

Has anyone seen one in Black? I'm worried Black wont show the lines of the car compared to Orange or White but think it could be the safest colour to go for long term.

The dealers seemed a little desperate to shifts the cars a few months ago, emailing and calling me but situation was different then.

The few dealers I've contacted in the last few days have all said they won't budge on the list price. Anyone know of any dealers discounting the car?

Thanks in advance

Have a look at the black car in the above link - about 30 pics - looks very smart. I ordered an orange car, then changed to black, hope it looks great in the metal as haven't seen one yet! I really like the orange but I wasn't brave enough in the end!

I tried really hard to get a discount on my car but the dealer wouldn't do anything. From what I can make out only people who have bought a few new cars through the same dealer have been given a discount due to loyalty.
