So there's actually a close connection between the two (Meaden was a founding member of EVO) and you couldn't get more similar opinions and styles between two publications if you tried.

Oh, and 911 Turbo with a manual for me too please.
Well apparently DR is less biased toward homeland cars than Evo,autocar or TG.I've red countless for all of those and i can surely say that DR is less biased British publications out there

Ja, it's actually a crying shame. The S85 is due to be binned in favour of a turbo'd V8 after only a single term in one generation of vehicles and, all the while, coupled exclusively* with the SMG III transmission. Imagine the S85 paired with M-DCT? Sadly, we'll never see the day but what I can say is this: if you can afford to buy any one of the last of the normally aspirated M models, you'll do well because in each of them is a special keeper that deserves to spend the remainder of its life in the care of a true enthusiast.

God, I wish I could afford an M3.
I do share your sentiments on the future of the S85. It is a masterpiece. It is truly a shame that it only did one term.
