Looks awesome! How did you manage to get a passenger ride? Would love to see one in the flesh!

Relative works for BMW and helps prep press cars

That’s awesome. Great contact to have.

Has anybody got any insight as to when the journalist reviews will be out? Would be great to see some professional reviews.

Thanks buddy.

Also, I have to say - so far it's only received positive comments. Went shopping in it yesterday and on the way back to the car, there were two guys looking at it and taking pics, so I think BMW have actually done a great job on the design of it even if it took me while to get used to the look of the new M3 and M4, now I think it looks awesome!

It really does handle well though - will be good to get it on track!

On a more positive note, this is the right colour for it IMO.

You know what? I really wanted black but got this because it had a longer delivery time but now, have to say I'm really happy with it. The paint is perfectly flat - it just looks really good!

Also, the grey is far more practical from a maintenance and swirl point of view. My friend's M2 is a similar shade and after 3 years still spot on whereas a black car...normally not so much.

Yes - very true.

Seriously cool ! Once it’s nicely bedded in you’ll have to get it on a track - not a fat old saloon like my M5 comp (although have to say it did bloody well getting up to the ski resort during a blizzard last Sunday, on winters admittedly)

Definitely will do that. M5 Comp is a beast. Mate of mine has one - it's so fast. Mrs has an X3M Comp and that has winter tyres on it at the moment and it feels invincible in terrible weather, I'm sure the M5 is the same.

Thanks David.

Just swapped the Cup 2Rs for Cup 2s. Feels pretty much the same but now I can drive it a bit quicker in the wet and it has more than double the tread!

Took it on track - it was awesome!

The car is so fast in a straight line, it's hard to believe and still beautifully balanced in corners. Those Cup 2R tyres are something truly special... so...much...grip - honestly brilliant on track!
