Hey, thanks guys, mine is a 'much' better car than standard - feels like my old 993 C2, very solid, loads of mid-range grunt and very easy to control at the limit. BMW committed a cardinal sin by not presenting it to the market this way since all the parts were readily available in their accessories brochure.
We ran a nice feature in EVO saying precisely that (how sloppy BMW has become) and it's a shame that the average joe walking into a BMW dealership will never get to experience (or see) the Z4M Coupe as it could easily have been.

My next assignment (should I choose to accept it) is to compare my ML63 to the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo. The article should be published in just under a month, with driving on road, track and test circuits being conducted next week.
There is a 'twist' to the story, a wildcard is being thrown into the comparison but you'll never guess what it is..
The aim will be to test the ML63 and CTT as performance cars first, rather than SUVs so it should be quite an insightful piece. Watch out for it in the next edition.
