My god. Phenomonal. The M3 was quick, but this is brutal. Engine note is other worldly.

Quick thoughts, it feels very tight and precise, very quick in the non power mode, the power mode is mental, not finding the flappy paddle gearbox too notchy or jerky, does take some getting used to. Sooo refined too, it'll sit at 95 on the motorway and it's like doing 50. Drop it down a few gears and things can get very naughty, very quickly.

Will post up pics of her at the weekend.

M5, not M6 - coming from my 535D I needed to maintain practicality for WAF reasons!
