After the longest month of my life I finally took delivery of the car yesterday! And guess what.....I've only gone a broken it already!

Looks like a sensor fault as both the DSC and handbrake warning lights are showing, and based on the sideways action in the rain yesterday the traction control was definitely disengaged!

Not that surprising considering the car has only done about 500 miles over the last five years, and had its legs stretched yesterday, but I need to get it sorted before I head off on my Scotland road trip next weekend as the Highland roads + almost certain rain + no traction control = a big mess!

Gremlins aside I couldn't wipe the smile of my face yesterday. This is so far removed from a stock E46 M3 and indeed my Z3M Coupe. It really is an awesome machine, but the best part is the noise! Its so addictive!

Still trying to get to grips with the SMG box. Thankfully its a weekend toy rather than a daily driver as I'm not sure I could live with it, but it works a treat when you use the car as BMW intended!
