Pity it's sold...

[Dominic]

Clarkie will love that!!! ....I quite like it too!

best shape BMW in my eye and with the work done to that i think it looks great, half that price i would have been tempted.

Edition 30 has the same (larger) brakes as the R32, Leon Cupra and the S3 so could be more suited to track work.

My mate has just bought a 2011 Leon Cupra- it's plenty quick enough and handles well but it's not that big and the interior is by far the worst of the VAG group. Skoda plastics etc are much nicer. You can tell where they've cut corners too (e.g only one 'flip' key and one normal key instead of two flip keys like all the other marques get, monochrome stereo display where our Skoda has a colour touchscreen etc).

An Edition 30 is currently top of my 'want' list.

Have you done the man math on hiring a caterham, radical etc for the number of track days you have done this year ?

Who owns the SE shed now. part ownership on something ?

[ClarkyBoy]

The wheels are though

Multispoke BBS-esque? Beg to differ. Amongst the nicest wheels ever, IMHO

But each to their own, of course.

I like them.

Suit the period.

A la

[Dominic]

Suit the period.

Funny enough, I was not too keen on them in the 80's, but now like them on a 'period' car. The don't suit modern stuff. Had a set of BBS multispokes on the TSE BMW.

Al's wheels on the golf are nice too - a more modern interpretation.

Here is the mighty shed, with DDtB at the wheel...

Ross, love it! Always surprised me BMW don't do a M3 touring considering how well the RS4 touring sells

Do they, can't find anything referring to them having bigger brakes?

Would rather put the money towards fuel and tyre's on a M3 saloon

Nice spec, just to small for what i am needing it for!

Sure you are thinking about the correct wheels Donkey?



Still swaying towards the Civic at the moment, seems to tick most the boxes for me at the moment, helped by it having the biggest boot by sum margin

The Golf is a close second. Will no doubt own one soon enough

[campbell]

You talking about current Civic hatch or saloon, Mike? I rather fancy the booted one - FD2 I think? - but not sure if will ever get there!
