So why the hell does this thing have an iDrive?!
And air conditioning?!
And why haven't they fitted a proper racing instrument cluster?
I mean, they're using the regular 1 and 2 series cluster, that doesn't even show water and oil temperature.
This thing is too compromised to be sold as a regular car, but not nearly as compromised to be a proper race car, IMHO.
Since I'm already bitching here, I also have to say that both videos suck. The european car video was ruined by the music, and the other video just had plain bad driving.
Anyway, given that the car looks and sounds so good, here's to hoping that BMW eventually makes this a version of the M235i available to the regular consumers! hahah

Were you aware that LMP and Grand Am cars had air conditiong required the last several seasons.?
