The 1er performs better than an M3, it has far more usable torque and weighs considerably less, my one is faster than an M4 or M5.
A 911 GT3 is at least 50K.
I think you need to start living in the real world my friend. Anything thats 10 years newer than the Z33 design is going to be a considerable improvement, and Porsche and BMW have the reputations they do for a reason.
As for Bennetts comments on spending 7K on anything, thats correct, but the point is a Cayman doesnt need modifying and a 135 sees 430hp with £1500 spent on it, its not really the same argument IMO.
I think Im living in the real world, I didn't say ild have the money to go out and buy one tomorrow. - it's a goal.
The 1 series isn't enough of a jump - for me. In terms of looks etc. much prefer a e92.
I have to like everything about the car, only 1series I could drive would be the 1m, even then ild probably still choose the e92...
