Revival again;
Reading about the M2 "Peformance Edition"
Less for more with no real advantage
I thought it came with the M Drivers packs (with top speed de-limiter) and a load of extra M performance bits like stiffer suspension, exhaust etc for a relatively small premium?

For me , it HAS to be flat bottomed steering wheels in ordinary cars.

Saw one in a CT200h.
It has 99 horsepower and the speed of an arthritic sloth!

Name yours.

Maybe I am messing something up, maybe it is not the PE but another.
That one - Instead of "4Zone climate control" it now comes with "1Zone" to "reduce weight"

Utter utter bks!

Have you any idea how much a zone weighs?
Not having to drag 3 zones round with you must be worth double digit seconds on a hot Nürburgring lap.

Yep, all of those things are terrible. And I didn't even think to mention them, although I see them every day and hate them

Pop/bang remaps.

Had a tt sat outside the office last week (Redcliff St ped crossing onto Mary Redcliff roundabout, Bristol) ramping it until rather a lot of people were pointing and laughing at the windows.

Sounded like Mosul just after lunchtime. Was actually a small-engined blue-badged rotbox.

I must be weird or a chav as I quite like it.

My tuppence, assuming it hasn't been mentioned already, is 80% of cars on the road being labelled with some form of //M, Amg line, S line, R line etc, when in reality all probably is is a different bumper

I find it quite strange as years ago American import cars that had these were required to be altered to a single flashing lamp to pass the MOT.

Type approval has allowed them fairly recently (within the last year or two, I think)
