hey all,
MOT is due and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations.
trying to keep costs down, but also prefer to use a garage which people have had good experiences with.
thanks

no leather?
hey all, weighing up changing my lovely z3 for a z4. nothing definite as yet but it would be sacrificing the performance of my z3s 2.8 for a z4s 2.5, and a very high spec z3 for a standard z4. would you consider buying a z4 without leather? i think i could live without leather, but wondered whether ...
