Enjoy!

Must say I'm a bit underwhelmed with how big and heavy it looks but then I suppose the 135i is for those that prefer lighter cars.

Great car and unusually for farce gear, a good report. "Goldilocks Setting" was a choice comment.

Seems Audi and BMW are locked in head to head willy waving, about who can chuck the most stuff into a car. This varient is galaxies away from the e30 m3. Which is a good thing as it has evolved and build on its' reputation.

What I'd like to know is; will BMW produce another e30 m3. A homologated car, built for track first, then a limited production run, to conquer WTCC and club championships? Then unleash it on the masses?
