That which doesn't kill you... great handling or not... if you don't pay attention you'll end up in a ditch. It'll tramline on those 18 inch wheels. I've still no idea where the nose terminates. You may need a new spinal cord after a longer drive... all of which makes no difference what-so-ever...
General Comments
In simple terms, it's great fun to drive. The steering is light and responsive; handling is precise and inspires trust... and the engine is smooth and powerful with a tremendous low growl even at gentle speeds. The cabin is a great place to be: Sports M seats are snug, and you'll appreciate the seat heaters in mid-winter. It's a real drivers car.
I've had the car for a couple of months now, and I couldn't be happier. I spend most of my time in central London - and it's a smooth and gentle drive - a solid 27 mpg and a very relaxing place to be. Take it out into the country though, and you have a very different animal. I tried the TT (high cailibre but uninspiring plastic) and the 350Z (an orange tractor) but the BM is a stunning car. You feel like you're in a racing car: great acceleration, glue like qualities, and laser guided steering combine, when pushed, to give you something which is simply primeval. And you can get a 2 year old one for under 15k ... stunning.
