Rhymes with 'idiot'. Duh... idiot!

Sounds to me like you have been listening to Tim Pollard of Car Magazine who immediately after releasing their 'official' pics (yeah right, nice number plate placement) of the E92 M3 also told me that BMW are doing some work around putting four sets of pedals in the car so everyone can be involved in the propulsion system. Only on M cars, obviously.
