Great looking car.

For some reason I'm yearning for the M3 version of this model. It just looks right..

Or maybe it's cos of the bloody name.. I owned a few prev gens of the M3.

So I'm 1300 miles in, and had the first service at 1219 miles.

First thing I noticed is that the engine seems to be a bit more loose, and a bit more aggressive in it's power delivery.

The launch control started to work after 1250 miles, but there is a discrepancy in the way mine operates, and may be linked to the fact mine is a 2017 competition package and things have changed since all the videos on YouTube were created.

When I activate my Launch Control, the engine revs sit at 3000, not 4000 ann I can't adjust the revs with the cruise control button as others can.

Anyone else notice this on later cars?
