Maybe BMW needs a removable seat option in addition to split fold rear seat for people who want to lose a bit of weight and improve their times...

And maybe BMW needs to stop filling the cars up with slightly pointless gadgets that they convince are "must haves" (ahem - check all those posts boasting "fully loaded") but weight a shed load.

While I love the 3 series, it cannot be denied that they are sodding heavy cars for their size! Even the M3 is overweight partly because it comes "fully loaded."

It was nice meeting you mate, I was in the Blackett Photography place selling the photos.

They were great times for a standard car
