Same route as me... I understand why he's doing it, handling for a start in anything other than the dry straight line!!! :lol:

Welcome Mark. Try No347...

I changed from a Cayman, wasnt quick enough either, looked at m3 as i think they rock but too boring and bulky compared to the WR1.

Good luck bud. lovin the style

ive never liked bmws but i did like the m3,but after about one week it felt realy slow.ive driven a wr1 and it would cane a m3 anyday so easy.
this money is burning a hole in my pocket so bad,i need a wr1 this weekend.

PMSL... totally agree with you, I had mine for 6 months and it just didn't feel quick.... handling was pretty awful in the damp or wet...obviously better build quality than the WR1 but I'd take performance over quality when it comes to cars.

What price range are you looking to buy in?

What build number is it Mark ? You can look for any history on our register.

How much did you pay bearing in mind you bought from a dealer.

Has it had the rear shocks replaced yet ?
