since this is a valid question, i'll try to answer this...

M1, M3, M5, M6, Z4M and other Ms are tuned by BMW's inhouse tuning facility, the M Sport division....
Kinda like AMG to Mercedes...

Well it's got vented discs and Michelins, so I assume it is..
What was the number plate? I can go to their LTA website and have a look..

M is a seperate subsidiary, not a tuning facility.. tuned cars are those like M-Sport cars. M3, M5, M6 etc are pure M cars engineered, designed and produced by M division.

So you're going to do the same for every other car registered with a WRC plate?
