They didn't open the boot because it was full of Shmee's anti-smugness medication.
:D its very difficult to warm to the guy isn't it :)

4.6s 0-60 on the 382bhp version as well. So no probably not.

The stock 35is clocked a 4.4s 0-60 in evo mag.

Lots of sub 0 to 60 criticism going on.....is that the mark of a good sports car..? Does balance and feel have nothing to do with it? It’s not high the streets yet folks...give it a chance..... :lol:

0-60 times (or 0-62, very often confused) is with these powers completely dependant on how well TC/launch control is integrated, on what tyres the car is delivered etc.
If you want a 0-60 monster, buy a 4wd. that is no contest in real life situations.

How it gets out of a corner is much more important power wise. But to get fast out of a corner you first must have the nerve/skills to go fast into a corner. In that regard weight (or lack of it) is more important. :lol:

I’ll give anyone 10 thousand quid if they can utilise 335 bhp for 5 mins on our roads not including motorways or dual carriageways.... :wink:

Oh dear - shan’t be getting one of these
As I said on page 1 a Fiat 124 front which seems to be what others see. Now it looks like that’s grafted onto a dumpy E89
Only the ragtop makes it an improvement over E89
Will wait to see in the flesh to judge properly, but a new model I’m top of range trim like this should excite

At least there is still the option of a 6cyl :) but a real shame Auto only, it looks like BMW are slowly phasing out manual boxes, they've just done it with 140i :(

I would like to drive an MX5 back to back to see which would be more fun.

I like Tim Burton (Shmee) at least his content is reasonably interesting.

Tim.
