The embargos are lifted, and Chris Harris is one of the first out of the gate with a review of the new, big nostril, G80 generation BMW M3 Competition, at Castle Coombe circuit.

Some specs for reference, 1730kg, some 150kg heavier than the outgoing car, which is a bit of a shock.  This competition car has 510bhp out of the box, using the similar S55 from the previous car but now mated to the ubiquitous ZF8 auto rather than the all or nothing DCT in the F80.  And now with option of X-Drive and more interestingly, a touring variant.
