Upon reading the term sports saloon, we’d wager a fair few of you conjured up a BMW roundel. After all, the Munich maker has tried to corner this market segment for more than 40 years, earning fame by making fast, class-leading saloons.
Ok, so the wing on the back, BMW Individual Special Fire Orange paint, big, black wheels and so on were going to attract a certain demographic, but still I was a bit bewildered by how many thumbs-up signs came from young lads. And then a neighbour told me that her 14-year-old son knew the M3 GTS from Forza. A computer game, apparently.
This modified 2002 can do it all: it’s a reliable daily, a manic track weapon, practical for the school run, a gleaming showstopper – but it’s hiding a surprise under the bonnet…
With stunning looks and serious underpinnings to match, this M2 Comp was built to develop parts and attract attention at shows. However, it only got to do one of those things…
Not only has this E91 been endowed with M3 looks and underpinnings, but it’s also been enhanced with a supercharged S65 beneath the bonnet, making it a Touring that’s not to be trifled with.
