[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

You are correct Mr YZ.

Brummie motoring journalist managed 3.82 seconds in this video. My almost 600 BHP remapped XFR couldn't better 4.4 secs due to lack of initial traction.

When you get your new car Opti have a quick look at the handbook. It explains in great detail how to use launch control, and then adds a warning telling you that excessive use of this feature causes excessive wear on the transmission and engine components. No shit Sherlock.    That’s why with a car like this it’s nice to go brand new. 

It's comes with a 3 year warranty. I wonder if BMW would delve into the telemetry and see how many 'launch control' starts had been actioned before agreeing to warranty work.

I'm pretty sure Datsun check this on their legendary GTR.

Unless there's some kind of exclusion in the warranty, it shouldn't make any difference if you've done it twice a day and three times on Sundays.

You're sex mad.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I believe Datsun have a disclaimer if their car has been used (hooned) around the Ring.....which is ridiculous bearing in mind what sort of car the GTR is.

Opti is a man , he's NOT going to read the small print , instructions or manual

Yep.....and I will never ask for directions unless she is pretty.

Exactly. Some grizzled toothless old crone is not worth stopping for.

I've heard that said , but holes are expensive  pound land filler or a quick fix won't last 
so some of us have standards and choose wisely 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

When I think of some of the girls I had sex with back in the day, I shudder.

I don't regret it though even though more than one left me with a dose.

Life is interesting.

How long will you have to wait?

According to the documents  estimated delivery is 30th September 2022.......but may be later.

So about four and a half months if all goes well. Apparently the car is being made /assembled in Mexico. I do hope my car is not being thrown together a a lazy Mexican fast asleep under a sombrero for most of the day.

 Are you saying your pocket rocket, is not being built in "das Reich" some sweaty Mexican drug mule is building Our lord's next, panty dropper

Apparently they are made in China....Mexico,  Romania, and a couple of other slave wage countries. Nothing Bavarian about the way they are put together these days. I think those days are gone.

Only Mexico for the 2 series now 

I have to say I am surprised at the choice, always had you down as a man who liked a nice arse which the BMW definatley doesn't have, at least its not got the hideous front yet

  I agree the arse end is not the best, but it does look better in the flesh than in the photographs. 

I don't think the Germans know how to do a beautiful arse.....that is probably best left to the Italians.

Besides, you can't see the outside from the interior

Yep, Al....and the interior is quite a pleasant place to spend a couple of hours.

Things I'm not liking about the new car experience are.

First year road tax... £945.
First registration fee. £55
Delivery charge........£850.
No spare wheel.

It would be hairy

Audi R8 is a great example, the germans do the looks and the italians do the running gear, it's the Ital all over again.....hence why you see so many on recovery trucks
