I would propose further that all posted photos, videos or other content relating to any BMWs with that grille be put in spoiler boxes so I don't need to look at it.

Anyone that buys one can be expelled from the forum.

No - the BM is one ugly mothahubbard fo sho, but I would rather have the front end of one grafted onto the front of my Evora than watch a Shmeee video.

You can now make the whole car look as stupid as the front

“While these bits might look like they’re carefully honed to reduce weight and increase downforce we suspect they are designed more for shock value. According to BMW, they do precisely nothing to improve the cars in either area.”

Amazing. I did see the pics earlier and thought the diffuser is stupid as it’s not even underneath the car but stuck on the back of the rear bumper which surely would do nothing but the fact the carbon isn’t even lighter :lol:
How about not having a sig at all?

Enjoyed this short one about the Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 1400, their bonkers electric drag car.

That is crazy and impressive. 0-100mph in 5.1 secs is about half the time mine would take :?

The way it tears from 60-100 is mad.

0-100 in 10sec is still in my mind a very quick car. The way the speedo on that 765 increased reminded of watching nightrider :lol:

It was always my benchmark - Fast Lane mag did exactly 10.0secs to 100 with a Countach QV back in the day (possibly with Pierluigi Martini driving).

If I had the money I would buy something else (more road biased) to complement my red 996. :)

I don’t think I have answered your question :lol:

Several loooong sections steering with left hand only as the right hand is too busy changing.

Love the change in tone after he leaves the line and the car really takes off. (I’m not sure if it’s hitting the power band, or if it is just when he considers he can apply full beans, or a combination of both, but is is great regardless. Scalded cat etc.) 8-)

Not sure who is piloting the Jag that punts him off at the first bend, and then squeezes him aggressively on the approach to Eau Rouge....?

That is one of the best illustrations of how good F1 used to be to watch on the telly.

Modern races are just so so dull.
