So much hype about this model and values have gone crazy, a bit like air cooled porsche. Always admired them and very few for sale, Couple of questions for fellow fans...
a) Is the driving experience an instant hit or a bit like the older porsches does it come with familiarisation?
b) rated against other M Cars where would it's place be in the league table
c) anyone know of a hire outfit, with one on their fleet?
Looking forward to your views!

Thanks for that, checked some of these areas, but will use your plan on our next trip.
just took it for s short drive, immediate impressions were , wow this feels like driving ! A lot to get used to lhd and the gearbox, but it felt alive and connected, would love to try one with warm tyres and a dry road !
I've had a 318is my only dilemma is that this will cost nearly 40 times what i paid for the iS, hhhmmm that's one hell of a multiple, that's making me stop and think ! I guess a well sorted 318is would be 3k, but they are a little underpowered IMHO

That's a great summary of my little drive yesterday ! Although we didn't get to spanking stage, I take your point about the iS comparison, I think to have another of those would be a mistake, I had a little trawl through the ads yesterday it seems 325i sports and iSs are increasing in value too !
So I took a little drive in a 2.5 190E cosworth today and here are my initial impressions:
Nice, revy engine
dog leg gear box good
raspy exhaust note
pretty quick
good ride quality
lovely merc build/quality interior, massive steering wheel though !
So no, not as engaging as the M3, but a nice drive nonetheless, i reckon a nicely refreshed one, would be a hoot on track/fast country roads
