Default Jaguar F-Type 400 Sport vs BMW M240i vs Aston Martin Vantage 430

Just like the HP, I don't want to ruin the end here, but it was really damn close all around...

Great Video! HOWEVER, I know I might offend people when I say this. But. What has BMW come to?!? It provokes little to no emotion (like most BMWs) these days. its 2017 and still to this day they have yet to make a exotic pure bred supercar. Ya the M4,M3,M6 are great, ya the I8 is neat I guess. But when you have companies like Audi with the R8, Lexus with the LFA, and even Acura with the new NSX. Where is the Ultimate Driving Machine?

You are forgetting the Z8.





Maybe not supercar enough for you, but the only BMW that appeals to me.

Years ago I went to - taken to - a club called BMW (Be My Woman) in either Hong Kong or Taipai, I forget which*. Drinks weren't the only things which were stirred I can assure you...but I digress.

*If you too arrived after 11:00 PM - and after a massive banquet (thrown in your honor) - and didn't leave until 11:00 AM the next day, you too would forget.

BMW M1. Although it's been almost 40 years.
When I see F-Type 400 Sport vs Aston Martin Vantage vs BMW M240i, I think which of these is not like the other? OK, F-Type, Vantage, very similar. But a M240?? That's not even a real M! But dang, it sure held it's own!
And I guess I've been saying it wrong all these years? Von-tajjj?? I guess that sounds better than the American VAN-tidge... But he did also say Ashton, so so hmmm...

I'd like to see a new version of the M1. Drove one of them years ago, and it was a hoot!
