Thanks....I don't like all the tech with just about everything running on apps linked to my phone and touch screen. Nothing is simple these days.

However, she is great to drive and pretty quick considering she weighs 1700KG, and has a relatively small engine.

The beaver tooth grille is somewhat understated on that model, which is a good thing. Very nice, Opti.  :y

Yes...the 'beaver tooth' look is an acquired taste, usually by those not blessed with the gift of sight. ::)

No keyless entry, that is part of the £1300 comfort pack which I declined.

No gear stick either, replaced by a  clitoral alloy nub.

No spare wheel, no jack either, but not to worry because it comes with a can of foam that will do SFA. ;D

This one is all paw drive.....although I'm told that the power goes mainly to the rear unless needed at the front for extra traction/grip. :)

Well...

It's a humble 2 series so it doesn't have the presence or charisma of the Jag. It does sound great though despite it being powered by a 3 litre straight six turbo rather than a 5 litre V8 with a supercharger.

It's exceptionally  well put together but then so was my XFR from 2015.....a far cry from the Jags of the sixties and seventies when they were thrown together by a communist workforce. ::)

Performance is much the same despite being 125 BHP short because it is small (er) and weighs  a whole Hayabusa less.

I like it. :y

Lovely motor and great colour.  :y  It's a nice engine and gearbox set up in that and they do go well.  :)

I think the B58 lump is preferable to the S58 lump found in  the M3 and M4.

Being single turbo rather then twin turbo it has less power and torque. Peak torque however is delivered at a 'dieselesque' 1900 RPM so in the real world (at sane speeds, TB.) it feels more muscular.

The gearbox is a ZF8 torque converter unit, so about as good as it gets.  :y

They are a great drivers car, no looker (but then BMW have really lost their way on this in the last 10+years) and I bloody hate the way car manufacturers are stacking displays like monitors on a work bench in the interior (But I guess even we will go that way potentially at some point).

Hopefully a good realiable fun car !

The straight six BMW was always the best they did  :y
