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'!
