The future BMW F1 team.

And if you really want to drive as fast as you dare, buy a brand new BMW K 1200 S.

Oh - did you see the photos of the K 1200 R in the BMW Magazine this month? Too hot. Almost an inverted black and white or Ultraviolet black and white look to them. I'm going to try to get that look in some of my future E60 shots (going to try some UV as well).

Did you watch that TopGear video? I think it looks pretty mean. Better than the regular Elise in my opinion.

No I didn't see it but, I'm sure it performs well. I just think it looks like an insect.

None taken It's a case of form over function: this thing is a precise driving tool, not an everyday car. It out-accelerates, out-brakes, out-corners anything I've ever driven, including various M3s, M3 CSL and a 996 turbo.

My bro only drives on the weekend (works in London all week, not a car-friendly place!) - for him this vehicle is perfect
