I bet that would pull the skin off your custard!
Oh, wait a minute, it looks like it already has!
Just jesting. Enjoy your new car.

How does it compare to the Spec-c, well it's a lot heavier of course but the turn in is still very good and the ammount of mrchanical grip available is alomst beyond belief...
Speed wise, well up to 60 about the same as the spec-c, after that the M just pulls on like a train, it's so fast and the engine note is to die for..... Not forgeting this is a standard car, with an Arkropvic exhaust and remap we are looking close to 450bhp of normally aspirated power...

Exactly, I could give a ***** **** what people think of the colour, I love it and that really is all that matters, after all it is an M car and so many boring, blacks, greys and blue ones about... THe black roof is actually Carbon and looks very nice in the flesh as does the whole car, the pics do not do the pressence of this car justice.

414bhp "out of the box" Would shame nearly anything subaru has to offer. Very nice mate. Enjoy, and don't forget to use your indicators!

I drove one of these M3's about 8 weeks ago and thought it was fantastic and not much else could touch it for looks / performance. Then I got a drive at the Nissan GTR and everything changed. The best car I have every driven.
ps The guy that owns it is 74

About the same price!!
You say the quality but when I drove the M3 it was having clutch problems. This is with just 8k on the car. Lucky for him it was under warranty!!
You think the M3 is quick the GTR is a different league again.
