    As it happens I got a good price for my BMW but they tend to be underspecced if buying a more standard model.

    I've lowered my car 40mm so it handles very well and fitted M3 alloys so the extra grip is great, the 1.6 isn't the fastest thing on earth but if driven that little bit harder it can be great fun.

    As said before the 1.6 isn't too fast but pulls well, and I've noticed it is probably the hardest car to stall I've ever driven.
