I've had one for 3 years now and it's the best thing ive ever been in, I always get out of it with a big grin on my face! I did the cannonball8000 in it in 2006 and after 4 full days thrashing across europe you get out almost as fresh as when you got in, something our friends in the Nobel couldnt say, brilliant car! Don't know what the last guy was going on about, saying that the "makers claim it's a comfortable 4 seater", he's obviously never seen one let alone been in one as everyone knows it's only a 2 seater! I got mine after spending ages looking at lots of cars to do the rally in and i kept coming back to the BMW. It truly is a mini supercar! it's incredibly fast, handles.....well, it's very good in the dry but the wet weather really brings it to life. It can be a handful at first, the early cars not having traction control and 321 BHP through those rear wheels is great fun once you've gotten used to driving it. It can suffer with VANOS problems but to be honest most cars will probably have had that done by now, what with early models being around 10 years old now. It's also unusual. Just try and think how often you see them about? So if you're after something a bit different, that will cover huge chunks of land in a very short time, look no further!
