so there is a lot of hype with this car, and i'm excited about the F10, as is everyone else. However, i'm waiting to see a real down to earth review, not one that is kissing BMW's butt raving about the car. Something to compare the car to, with real figures, numbers, etc. It may be too early for this, as those reviews will come in time.

I'm sure its a great car, and unique for it's class, but its seems like every review is saying how great it is because all other reviews are saying its great, plus all the hype. lol
I take his statement to mean that the brakes have a strong initial bite from a highly aided system, and if the steel brakes are good for circuits, than no need for the carbon/ceramic brakes that may eventually become an option.

Chris Harris is generally seen as a no BS racer/journalist, so his opinion is seen as honest, and not just repeating hype. He even states that he's not giving his final grade until he compares it to the Jag and Benz and on UK roads.

Looking forward to issue 163!!
