  • Christie BMW, mate.

  • Eh, mate, if you prefer the most powerful M car ever, 616 horsepower doesn't do it for you.

  • No, because I've always felt that an M 16 m A and an M five basically being the same car.

  • Yeah, I'd always go for the stealthy salute to the point in going for the Coop, because it really is just a you know, it's the same platform with less space.

  • Sometimes it looks a bit better, but I'm not sure it does with this one because it's very, very sloping rear screen it is.

  • In fact, you seem to have a problem.

  • This doesn't look like it sure doesn't look as good in the roar as it does for me in here in pictures.

  • Fair enough, subjective.

  • Look, that great cars BMW.

  • I've got this platform sorted.

  • It's got massive power.

  • You've got this switchable to four wheel drives, which could be a sliding monster if you want or on, or whether traction monster you want it to be.

  • But let's face it, BMW struggle At this price point that always happen.

  • I think it's possible to be 165 grand for this car testing, and I just think you're you're up against really serious going to mid engined Supercar, which, which admittedly aunt is useful or was rounded in this Bentleys and Aston's and all sorts of bad just doesn't work that at his interest in You came and straight on the styling there because I got some thoughts on this.

  • Were we spoiled by the original eight?

  • Siri's the fact that that had so much drama, original looking thing on this just another name car should be recognizable from about half a mile to a saddle like us through the way that it sets its camber a slightly wider stance.

  • There should be something about it on the road, not enough arts.

  • These these current M cars, particularly five and this eight don't have that.

  • I think they really miss it.

  • I don't care about the carbon roof that means nothing to me and weighs as much as a small planet anyway.

  • Who cares about having a carbon roof?

  • Everything I find baffling is this is already the competition version, so that gets launched about 4/2 hours after the real.

  • When we go from here, the only one petition competition to me means they just shagged the ride and they put some awful looking wheels on it cause I hate these competition.

  • Complicated wheels.

  • Yeah, Yeah, I've got I've got a massive down on it.

  • I just think it should be 100.

  • It was £100,000 car.

  • I could make it argued for 165 grand.

  • No, I like it.

  • This is Chris Harris who doesn't have a massive down there on this car.

  • Imagine if you did BMW styling this car is a good case.

  • Important, but having a bit of a shocker at the moment on the ups and downs, how can a company be producing cars like the X seven?

  • Like the face lifted seven series grills the size of sorry on Dhe seeing the new four, Siri's four serious coup plays all over the place.

  • But then you see a three Siri's touring on the road, and you think w are these coming out of the same design department?

  • They are, I think, there.

  • But I think they are looking at that their outgoing model range, and they must be worrying because the M two is a great looking car.

  • I think the the outgoing M three is one of the best looking in cars there because it's got that wide arch look in the camera and the toes.

  • It'll just set.

  • It makes it really aggressive you mentioned earlier just quickly.

  • The This is another 600 horsepower saloon like the M five.

  • Like the 63 you could do the switchable thing so you can disconnect front drive shafts and have real drug.

  • But you have to have everything off so you can only every will drive.

  • If you wanna be completely free sort of agreement that as long as long, as as long as they tell you when you buy it how that works, then I agree with it.

  • But if they don't, I don't reason for that is you can't have people out on the street in this thing in the wet 616 horsepower until we'll drive with the traction if you can't have that.

  • So I think it's a bit like fitting despite the steering wheel.

  • Maybe do that people will slow down without, for the avoidance of doubt, this in the wet two wheel drive too much for me.

  • The logic does work because if you had two wheel drive when you could have all the systems on, what's the point?

  • Because they're they're they're stopping you using the slide ability anyway, so it doesn't make sense.

  • But how many people are gonna buy this and go to a track and smoke that size, bringing it back to a positive space?

  • I'm gonna ask you to name your favorite ever M car, but rather than just you're going to give us some obscure classic one that no one knows about.

  • It has to be an M car from the last 10 years.

  • What's your favorite one m At the moment, my one aim has done 60,000 miles.

  • I love it, and it's curious that when it came out, it was lambasted for not being a proper M car because it had a pretty basic and 135 engine in it.

  • And it wasn't it wasn't that special, but now it just fits with the way that I live.

  • Every time I buy another car, the one name goes to the back of the shed, a normal about month later, that car gets sold.

  • When I get back in the one hour it's small.

  • It's compact.

  • They look amazing on the road.

  • When you see them, they're just basically just a pair of shoulders driving down the road on there.

  • Butch, the control waits a heavy.

  • The gearshift feels like I've been obligations.

  • Got that same old teardrop shaped gear lever, which I love.

  • So for me, that is the one I never thought I'd say that I think the current M free I think they eat.

  • Whatever is the f.

  • A.

  • T.

  • M three is a great car, spiky, though it seems to get on well with sort of driving enthusiasts.

  • But if you take the general public, find it.

  • If you take it well, not liking endorses will be taking some of those good at mapping them.

  • You can have them re maps.

  • They you can make the power that every less spiky and that transforms it.

  • Also, if you fit that remarkable Mitchell in pilot for us to it, it just transforms the car that was launched on a super sport.

  • But the new tire makes it much more driveable, So those are the ones.

  • And of course, the all time great is the 25 26.

  • That's the car.

  • Probably that, and I won't have it into my crotch.

Christie BMW, mate.
