Who cares if they almost always FWD and slower than an M135i, with looks like that BMW are in deep trouble!

Isn't the all singing and dancing AMG bad boy 350 bhp out of a 2.0 out of the box ? Imagine how gnarly it will be when Sal tweeks it ?

With 4wd it will be slower

They're expensive, I built one on the website when they came out, for a specced up 210bhp AMG Engineering packed one, it was £32k

How much is the M135i in the same Spec?

It's not really comparable as it's 320bhp as standard, 110bhp more than the top merc (at the time I did the quote). The base 125 m sport with 218bhp before you start adding extras is £26k

A 135 M Sport has leather as standard, as is metallic an 18" wheels, media pack with Nav is a £1500, with that on it's £33k

Give me a M3 CSL over any of them and will probably be cheaper

The truth is, nobody buys new cars anymore, they're all financed or leased, something you won't be able to with a CSL

Theres more money to be made from the finance for the dealer than the car!

That there is, when I was selling cars in retail, £2000 profit was quite often £500 in the metal, £1500 in the finance
