I came to Morgan from a BMW M135i on which I'd lavished many pounds on BMW M Performance aftermarket accessories. It wasn't my daily driver. Looked fantastic and went like stink. Even took it on track. But it was never really 'special'. When all was said and done, it was still a hatchback and I very rarely took it out for a drive simply for the sake of going for a drive. And apart from the track, there was nowhere where I could really stretch its legs and still keep my licence.
I originally fancied a M3W but space was a bit tight for my svelte 6'4" frame. My local dealer had a red 4/4 80th which I got a test drive in and that was that. Ended up with a Saxe Blue one - again from Oakmere.
320 - 110bhp was quite a drop but the little 1.6 is more useable in the real world. And each time I go out it is an 'event' which was missing in the BMW.
