Re: As requested - BMW 135i photos

As requested - BMW 135i findings

You might be shocked to read this.............. As some of you know I had a 53 plate 320i Sport, primarily my wife's wheels. However, I found this a real barge after coming out of any of the rest of the fleet, so when it got a bit leggy (98k miles) I knew I could sell it easily and started the resea...

Re: Z4 Stuck in Transport Mode after flat battery

Never heard of anything like this.
