Nice Hopefully you will have lots of fun driving it I am biassed - but this is by far the most beautiful car BMW ever made (Z8 comes close)

A few tips:

- The M is surprisingly easy to unsettle if pushed - keep DSC on if you are not serious. You don't want to do unscheduled 270 degree turns

- There is a Clutch Delay Valve that regulates clutch pressure (you can only dump the clutch so fast) - I am sure BMW has it there for a good reason, so mine is still in - but - one of the most common mods is to 'delete it' - the various Z forums should be overflowing with DIY's.

This is too true... The ///M roadster has way too much power for the chassis...

Modern muscle car... I think so !

This is very true and I love that about the car. You can throw it around, but it can also throw you if not careful. It's a delicate balance.... but so much fun!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.
