Whole car was dirty after overnight rain. Pipes need a good clean as well!

Nice one Scott. A Shadow Edition judging by the badge.

Don’t think so. Chrome front grill. Although black chrome exhaust tips and black badge.

I'm guessing that it's an M240i?

Interested to hear how it compares to the Golf R as I've yet to have a go in one.

I hope the indicators work or you specced the optional indicators or some other hilarious "joke".

Had a cracking drive to Birmingham and back in my 100-fewer-edition this weekend.

Nice 👍. What tyres do these come on?

Had a play with a M2 Comp on the McLaren Triangle today; seems to bounce around at the rear a lot more than the M4, but were very similar performance-wise. Probably only a toon away for the M240i!... 😜

Then went out in the Ferrari to pick my son up from gliding in Odiham - it’s a lot faster, flatter through twisties, aurally pleasing etc and I’m really nowhere near its limits yet (although probably at mine 🤷‍♂️).

Anyway, I see they’re bringing out a 2-series GC - could be a cool M2GC in the offing!? 🤞

Pilot Super Sports are on it. Unsure of runflatness.

Other spec.

It’s the LCI model so full black panel binnacle, LED lights front and rear, the updated drl pattern. DAB standard.

Options - HK sounds, reverse camera, sun protection glass (by which I think that means rear tints), heated seats, plus I won’t be getting a punch in the face from Tim as it’s the sport auto ZF 8 speed.

Annoyingly no cruise control as that’s an option which seems bizarre. And I would have liked the larger media screen but it’s not got that. I’ll live.

Cruise can be retrofitted for around £180. Which I may very well do.

Only if the original owner paid the £80k option fee.
