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

Nice one Scott. A Shadow Edition judging by the 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!?

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.
