And the rest of the post?! Where has this come from?

Some rather poor copy + pasteing!

I just want them to confirm the engine spec..

Though it does sound tempting..

If any of that list hold true and the engine is a highly strung peach then I can definitely see myself in the BMW showroom.

Likewise - i'll be looking to move the M on in about 18 months and this could work out quite well timing wise..

I'm praying that the CF overload listed above is for performance sake, rather that to give the potential target market something to wk about on the squash court.

From what I've read to date, it would appear that normal aspiration isn't going to happen which is a shame IMO. A screaming 300bhp 4 pot, or 6 pot (or maybe a 5?) would have been perfect if the weight had been managable.

Sadly, as well as appealing to the driving enthusiast (which will be a relatively small percentage of the brand new buying market), it must be capable of stats that put it above its competitors for wine bar bragging rights .... I personally couldn't care less if a Focus RS was a minute quicker with a pro at the wheel at the 'ring, or that a Golf R uses 4x4 to hit 60 half a second quicker. The marketing men will though!!
