BMW on Top Gear This Sunday

[Dezzy]

Exactly let's not get all excited about this and make ourselves look like the British layland bum boys here.

It's entertainment, they are rotten old turds, most people just think they are bangers. We like them but most people want new cars not 20 year old scrap.

[e30mtec]

now see.,i enjoy my weekly dose of top gear,ad shall certainley be watching this one,whether they slate em or not its only entertainment..and lets be honest..they have probs been saved from th scrapyard and are as turdy as they come..so if they came from the scrapyard then either way they were destined to get wrecked..just let top gear do it in style and then lets rant after the show...simples!

[ConvertChris]

[tonybtonyb]

Can't wait to see this should be good

[winx]

Don't know if it will be on the show but we lent them a new McLaren MP4-12C for filming on Friday... The boys who took our cars down said there were some e30s looking sorry for them selves...

If you'd paid for Business Class on a 8? hour+ flight. Would you be happy that their screw up meant you had to fly economy? I wouldn't be and wouldn't get on the plane either.

I didn't think this was a review. Just them having it static in the studio. I know that Clarkson's opinion matters a lot. If he slates it. You'll defiently lose sales to the prettier F458 (which we know he LOVES)

[Morat]

He's already been iffy about it being a geek's car, he reckons it needs a proper name - and I can't really argue. Even F458 sounds better than MP4-12C.

I don't get the name at all.

THIS was the first McLaren Mp4/12



Adding a hyphen and a "C" is not the best idea to come out of Woking.

Could well be, they all drove it though.
You could be right on the sales, I wonder how many people will actually base a buying decision of c£170,000 on what Clarkson thinks though...
Not sure if you have seen the performance figures that have been released today?

Re the name, nothing that can be done about that now, all I can offer is call it 12C for short, that's what we do

Looks like the E30 is gonna be flamed..

All three presenters then embark on their latest consumer test: examining the many pitfalls when purchasing a cheap second-hand convertible. We won’t spoil it for you, but as Jeremy promised in our video last week, Richard does, unfortunately, have rather an uncomfortable time of it.

Even if we do get flamed so what! we dont want to be tarred with the same brush as the Marina bummers do we.

Water off a ducks back

[Blitz]

But an E30 cab is not rubbish like a Marina.

It is

[Alex]

I will laugh if non of these e30s actually get used tonight

[Ollie_bwoii]

A proper challenge with them, like the cheap coupes, porsches or supercars ones, it will be good.... but if its a pointless wreck like the biturbo, then it will be disappointing.

Probably a bigger percentage than is sensible. Not all obviously. I dunno what they willl say about it. But lets say he says its enormously competent, fast and great round a track. But then says it's a nerds car for people with that "anoid" voice. People spunking that money won't necessarily be happy compared to geeks. Something that they do on any track 911 (scaffolding in the back). Personally, I reckon the SLR was hampered by iffy reviews.

Saw the Daily Mail online link. Jenson driving the car at Portimao.

As for the figures. I'll wait for independent verification from Car/Evo/Autocar. Given the somewhat protracted launch of this car. It'll be somewhere around 2014 yes?

Were there any other names considered? Someone should have been given a Thesaurus and told to come up with something better.

Watch is "interesting" too.

I would expect nothing less from someone who has been so negative about their former employee on numerous forums after their enforced departure from the company

[oomz1975]

[magpie]

[johnt0709]

Oh haven't they chosen shining examples. It's a bit bloody predictable.

[B7]
