It's not exactly surprising

They still think it's a twin-turbo!

It IS!

The article clearly states this is the forth win in a row so they must be using an 07 N54

First thing I noticed as well...

They're also still quoting an "optional 6 speed paddleshift"... Don't think so...

Sweet!

I read this this morning in the west australian. I'm going to assume it's just a rehash for all the papers across the country

good to see it in there again though.

Yay, hopefully it will trigger more buyers!

What are those clowns thinking? They rate the ride quality of a 135i as being better than a Golf GTI!???? Did it not have runflats?

Toyota 86 will be an interesting challenger next year.

LOL....

It definitely needs more power and fatter tyres. I guess the bicycle tyres will suffice for its 147 kw or whatever it's got.

I'd have more interest if it were actually faster or had more oomph.
