I wanted a Valencia Orange M240i but they are hens teeth in the spec i was looking for. At the time there was only one for sale in the country and it was priced at £12k more than i paid for mine!

Nearly forgot that the essential tyre purchase is the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport (when you can get them). Awesome tyre and far better than the MPSS and PS4 that I've had on mine.
Re: New car
Thanks, that's a handy tip.
I thought the PS4 was the best tyre evah though (according to the internets)

Re: New car
The new car arrived this morning.
Love it. Looks ace. And that engine makes it feel very special.
Had about and hour in it today. Just pootling for now.
Will stretch its legs tomorrow though

What's wrong with your camera
Re: New car
Don't forget to try the party trick:
Sport+
Manual gears
Pull for 2nd
Release brake
Mash throttle
It has launch control but it's shit - this is a much quicker and more exciting way to emergency start from some lights.

Re: New car
If they’re both equally loaded then they’ll both spin even with a completely open diff. Not so effective if there’s any cornering going on at the same time
Not like the old days with a live axel which itself was trying to lift one wheel off the ground due to torque twist for a proper one tyre fire.

Re: New car
Yeah that makes sense. I’ve never really thought about how an open diff would work differently with independent suspension over a live axle tbh.
An absolute unit

Not sure if this will embed properly, but here's a quick pic snapped when the car was delivered:
Re: New car
I find the Launch Control on the 2 works well. Ill try your variation though for a direct comparison.

The photo's on Google Photos so it may be a permissions problem
Do people here have a preferred free photo sharing solution?

Matt's even added a photo gallery on here, but I use imgur these days. Easy to upload straight from my phone, various different sizes available to link which deals with some forums restricting photo sizes which can be posted.
