seanoVR 0 Posted June 15, 2005 Had a drive in the above last night, and i'm giving myself a couple of months before i have one on the drive! Absolutely awesome cars, by far and away the best car i've ever driven- way better than a Skline GTR or 964 Turbo 2. (Or as good as!!!) Went like stink, and i just love the whole rear wheel drive thing and that sort of handling. When your pushing it hard you really can feel all that power at the rear trying to overtake you.... what a car. Definitely hooked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted June 15, 2005 I must say they are supposed to be awesome cars to drive and they have an aquired taste. I dunno, sometimes I like them, sometimes not. They do have the appearance of a big phallus though :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil VR6 0 Posted June 15, 2005 They are possibly the most ugly car on the road but dynamically they must be excellent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 15, 2005 Agreed, they are brutal cars.... not bothered about the prettiness of it because they look like they mean business and they're less gay than the Z3 rag top.... that car was BMW engineers' equivalent of the MK1 GTi....THEY knew what was best, not the bean counters, so set about making one in their spare time.....ode to being given free access to the workshops and parts bins ! According a mag I read in the bath the other day, they are quicker than the current M3 CSL to 60, 100mph and the 1/4 mile :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 15, 2005 They are possibly the most ugly car on the road but dynamically they must be excellent Nope, they're not. They share the same ancient rear axle from the E30....it's treacherous in the wet....but that's half the car's appeal, it's naked and aggression, and it makes no attempt to disguise it's intentions behind flowery seats and BOSE stereos...

CazzaVR 0 Posted June 15, 2005 Love the M-Coupe! Really quick and look nice and aggressive. Rare too. Would love one, but they're still really expensive (for me anyway). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy 0 Posted June 15, 2005 think you can pick them up for about 20k thats good vfm in my book for the performance! I have always like them, look miles better than the drop top Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samm_cvr6 0 Posted June 15, 2005 Looks much more involving than something like skyline, wish they dropped that kind of engine into an elise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted June 15, 2005 I'd buy one for a dollar...! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 15, 2005 Its pig ugly but thats all part of its appeal - probably the last backroom BM we'll ever see. Not sophisticated but I'd have one like a shot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanoVR 0 Posted June 16, 2005 they are quicker than the current M3 CSL to 60, 100mph and the 1/4 mile That's right, they apparnetly will hit the ton in 11.6secs, with 60 coming up in a rapid 4.3!! It's not just the speed and the power of them though, they really do feel like a driver's car. Have heard a few horror stories about their handling in the wet, but again it adds to the appeal. Rather like the earlier rwd 911 turbos.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
