required something a little more practical than my M3 convertible but wished to keep the power and performance that i am used to

really helpful and made the whole process as much a pleasure as these things can be and were quite realistic with the trade in price they offered me for my old car

lovely to drive really stable and sure footed on the road does have a little torque steer if you excessively power from a standing start but a real pleasure to drive around town or on long distance, very comfortable drive
