Default Bought new car - What wheels????

Right, I have finally bought a new car. After thinking about it for months I decided to go for it and I have got a.......... Z4M coupe!

Now I know its not a ford but I have fancied one since the first one we had in our showroom and I think they are awesome.

Good cars. one of my mates has one that he uses just to drive to and from and at the Ring...

Its done 42,000 miles and has been BOMBPROOF! I driven it at Bedford and at the Ring and on the road. Only thing its ever needed were brakes and tyres....

REALLY impressive car.

Enough! Work for a main dealer which helps and tbh because they have such a limited market, they are much better value than similar age M3.

Yes it will, and it'll cost lots to fix. In the meantime he has heavy car fuel consumption to live with. Whatever, BMW are ok for some people.
