Me cringes - me bought myself a BMW just a week ago - I hope all their engines aint like that....

Well....BMW did have something like 150 engine failures in their first season with Williams

Plus - It's a BMW wouldn't trust it to take me to the end of the road without failing in some way...

Toyotas look slow, despite getting the '06 car out at the end of the previous season.

Not sure what the problem is...

Aero looks good, chassic with Gascoyne on board should be good, engine should be excellent.

Just wondering if when all bolted together it just doesn't work..

3 months until their B spec car comes out.
