I'm not very good with naming cars...
Took this photo in an underground carpark in London.
Thanks.

Richard Hammond reviewed this on Top Gear and liked it so much that he bought one

Well the car has been around for a couple of years (well, 8 years) now I believe. What Wikipedia is saying is that it DID have a 4.4L BMW engine, but this year they are upgrading new cars they make to have the 4.8L BMW unit.

BMW's V8s will give it some pretty damn fine performance though.

Yeah I'd say so. BMW wouldn't do many V8 engines. It may even have some relation to the BMW F1 car too. They run V8s now.
