The weather was clear, so of course the top was down on my 35i(as it has been every night this week) but more importantly, the roads were dry for the first time for about a month! I celebrated this by using S-mode on the DCT. Fantastic! In D with Sport it feels like a quick car but in S it just comes alive!!!
This car really is growing on me. I bought it at the wrong time really - it’s not easy getting used to a new car when it’s a 300bhp RWD sports car in winter conditions, especially when 95% of that driving is in the dark but that drive home today was fantastic!

I bought mine in November 2016 and yes, it took me until the summer to properly appreciate it!

Counting down the months until it’s roof down on the way to work and it stays clean for longer than a day :rofl:

Bought a jacket especially for the job: 'Our Legacy', made of - don't mention The Ashes - Australian sheepskin.

Mine spends most of its time spinning its NS rear wheel in this weather.

I haven’t experienced that at all. Would a 35i with DCT have an LSD?
