The drivers door mirror will not adjust all the way out, apart from that, NOTHING!
Very fast, loads of low down grunt!
You hardly every have to change gear on this car as it has so much power. 5th gear on a motorway is all you need, when you put your foot down at 80mph, you can feel the torque wind in nicely.
Definitely a licence loser of a car, you need to be well disciplined or have some form of speed camera detector, just in case!
This car is an awesome little package of high performance and serious handling.
With the Dynamic Stability Control switched on, the car is fairly forgiving, however you need to be repectful of the power in the wet, nice light throttle movements.
The brakes are amazing! After a couple of days I managed to stop banging peoples heads of the dash, you literally need the weight of a shoe to stop, no leg muscles required!
Great car.
Me again, I have to say since writing this review my car has let me down.
It has just had the oil pump and big end bearings replaced and she is tapping quite loudly now. I missed a recall that went out for the oil pumps on the S54 M Power engine, which can also be found in the M3. So I now have an engine that has been pulled to bits and rebuilt.
For some reason the car just does not seem the same to me.
Bu99er!
Yes, the engine seems to be very vulnerable. I read many reports from engine breakdowns. Then there is the short transmission ratio. When driving flat out on German autobahns revs go beyond good and evil. Especially when the speed limiter is disabled. Bad luck BMW constructed sheer transient driving pleasure.
A cure for the high revs: install a six speed tranny and clutch from an M3. This will drop the revs by about 17% in sixth gear. It makes the car just wonderful on the highway. The only problem is that, here in the USA, where we have speed limits of 55 to 65 miles per hour, sixth is useless below about 70-75 mph. On the other hand, it will cruise like a champ all day at 90-125. Just keep the radar detector on!

Yes that would be a good cure for that, but the reason this car had the 5 - speed transmission in the first place from the e36 is because even though it has the m3 evo 321 bhp engine the 6-speed is physically too big to fit in the tranny tunnel, so bmw opted for the next best thing the original 5-speed from the e36.
