Bendsley, that is a sweet 545. I "disagree" with the spoiler, but lurve the those wheels. I love the discs peeking through. Next time you change brake pads, switch up the discs to some crossdrilled/ventilates numbers - make it look even sweeter.

Username: That M is beautiful, and yes, 100 hp more surely would make a difference. What really makes the difference, though, to me is the electronics underpinning it all. The trick suspension, the transmission, engine management, etc... The way they've managed to make all these things act in unison.

I'm thinking about buying the 130i, with M-suspension (they aren't labelling it the M1, because the history behind that badge is so long, but basically that's what it is). 265 hp, rwd hot hatch. I can't wait to drive it... Probably won't be able to buy it for another couple years. It's not a vehicle suited for work in the South Sudan...
