Cool m8, 3ltr is the only one to have for decent performance (besides M of course)

Lovely cars! How much did that beauty set you back if you don't mind me asking?

nice mate, do you have a receeding hairline though?

if not you will do now!! if you do you will now cry watching a trail of hair fly off your head when you put the roof down

hehe still a lovely car regardless of what it does to your hair

HEADRAT · 25 May 2006 at 20:13

Very nice!

I thought you would never replace that Coupe

At least its a very worthy replacement.

Giddy · 25 May 2006 at 21:46

Looks smart, not sure if your a member but if not get over to www.z4um.com

One thing worth checking is the wheels for corrosion as the 108's are prone to it. Mine are being inspected tomorrow, I'm hoping they are going to replace all 4 under warrenty

HEADRAT · 25 May 2006 at 21:59

Well the car is just under 3 years old so I plan to extend BMW warranty, Giddy do you think its worth doing?
