All I can say is that even while running in and taking it easy, the performance looks promising! You are going to love it!

And of course running in doesn't prevent you from going round corners quickly!
I know what you mean about BMW clarity. I think that it's actually a brand now for them

thanks for the info. considering all the shove is available from such low revs, keeping below 3500 doesn't really come into it

can wait for mine. tick tock
