All quite on the Challenge front

[ghiblicup]

Getting an itch for a F56 Challenge but keep reading all the EVO articles about the ride being way to firm and uncompromising for the road. (foot shot)

There have not been any posts about the car on here for yonks and they were mainly about delivery times and slots etc.

So can any owners out there give us a honest view on the car? Especially the road manners....

I have been using my challenge as my daily driver since April last year

All good, don’t really notice the firm suspension anymore. Other cars I drive feel sloppy by comparison.

Good to know you are using as a daily, thanks.

I'm going to have to try and find one to test.

Same boat - I was a little concerned about the residual as I don't think it's going to be as desirable as the GP when that arrives and my mileage would be too high, and it's too much/not special enough to be a weekend car. I guess also in the end I thought BMW/Mini were asking a bit much for the car because you effectively paid top jolly (£28k) for a poverty spec JCW and then paid Total Track £3.5k to do the conversion.

I kind of landed on the idea of buying an F56 JCW for about £18k and getting Total Track to put the same bits on (mechanicals rather than visual) but BMW wouldn't let them.

If anyone wants to sell one for a fair price though do let me know!
