We need an M club meet
Your house interests me, is it built on top of a double garage? Sorry Im just a nosey fecker but it looks nice, I like the idea of the whole integral thing.

It's a nightmare to try and explain, but the garage is integrated into the house... hard to explain, so I google mapped the house and did a screen grab.Basically, the house is side on... the architect was clever in that the 3 houses buillt - none of them overlook each other from the house windows, and the back gardens / patio areas also don't over look each other.

Very intelligent elevating; really like that!
Funny thing the 135 M Sort Coupe thing; never really thought of it as a 'proper coupe' alternative, but that's exactly what the 2002 was back in the 'sixties, too.
Yes, I'd hope its driving dynamics are waaaaaaaay superior to an S3.
Interior looks wonderfully understated and refreshingly logical.
Interesting to hear how you get on with it.

Not going to mod the car too much until I can't resist any longer and have to have the CSLs...

I will do another review after about 3000 miles once it's properly run in and I get used to it.
No signs of the journo reported understeer either, but I really don't think it will be obvious on the roads.
I like the comparisons with the 2002 and the E21/E30... it's very similar in a lot of ways. My dad owned an E30 325i (Coupe) and I thought it was a fantastic car, but like the E21 it never resembled a Coupe.
It's definitely different, but I love quirky!

Dave - Looking forward to a Blurter Meet 7 - keep me in the loop.
Lawnmower - CSL's are an option, but I prefer the look of the M6 alloys on 135 at the moment...

I like it, and agree with others the white looks great.
Can't help but comment though, and I don't know if its the effect of low profile black tyres on a white car, but the alloys don't look quite big enough somehow.

We defo need to make Blurter meet the M meet.
Interesting house pic, so the garage is on the bottom of the side, looks cool - fresh thinking, we had somewhere similar when I was a kid - its not that often that you find a house and realise that someone has really thought about the design rather than just throw up as many properties onto a plot as possible.
