-
I had an E86 M ... was a slightly compromised car I always thought.
A truly amazing engine, a woeful boot (worse on the M than the non-Ms) a very tight cockpit (especially so if you are tall or broad). Really lacking in versatility - its very strictly a two seater, but still a reasonably large (read long) car.
Mine was quite a long way from standard, and very very fast, but this did introduce quite a few challenges that possibly prejudiced me against it in the end.
Oh and the traction control is very intrusive (esp. on track).
tertius-
This is more of the dream crushing I require, thanks. I’ve got some pathetic mid-life itch for something stupid to do kid-free weekday jaunts down the local b-roads for a posey cup of coffee or pub lunch or something, entirely unnecessary. The M is beyond me so it’s N52s only. Maybe I should be looking at TTSs, cos at least you can fit two kid seats in the back of that. Or maybe I should just spend the money on sorting the house 😔

@Colin_the_Bald was it you with the z4? How’s it doing? I find myself idly considering an e86 and it’s beginning to slide into not so idle consideration. Dangerous.
