Beemer Bargain 3
It really amazes me how sheap cars can get and this is a prime example. £5500 for this 2001 3.0 ltr Z3 convertible. Its done a lot of miles but the car should be reliable enough to soak it up and you get 11 months MOT plus the security of buying from a dealer.

BMW Slow in Hungarian GP
Not a good race for BMW, they wound up picking up only one World Championship point through Robert Kubica's 8th place. Finn Heikki Kovlainen would his first GP after Felipe Massa unluckily blew his engine while leading with only 3 laps to go.

Beemer Bargain 2
£17,795 for this 04 plate 645i which has done 105,000 miles. It may be a lot but if you can afford a brand new 6er you can afford the upkeep so that's why I reckon this could be a bargain for someone and the fact I love 6 series'!

I've been scouring the classifieds so you don't have to and I've found this clean looking boston green 1996 M3 Evo for just £2,995. It may have done 128,000 miles but its got some MOT. Could be a good little car for someone.
I'll continue searching the classifieds and I'll make this a regular feature.

AC Schnitzer BMW 1 Series Convertible
AC Schnitzer have released their 1 series convertiable. Maybe not the most obvious candidate for tuning but the twin turbo under the bonnet of the 135i has certainly been receptive to tweaking thus far. The fact they have had to make the speedo go up further due to AC's performance tweaks means this is one convertible not to mess with.

Hamann E92 BMW M3
Hamann have released their styling kit for the E92 M3 and it looks awesome. I like the M3 in black or else I think the carbon fibre roof stands out too much and the all black look is insane.
