Precisely , the feature would have been more balanced with a 3.0 Si .

You might still be able to watch it on the Quest App (Android) - it's a fairly awful review, as other's have said, £8k for a Z4M? A few weeks ago they were touting a Clio Trophy for £5k for a low mileage example, a quick check on the MOT history showed the car had done 120k+!

You ‘might’ be able to get a high mileage Z4MR for £8k, but you’d need to budget another £6k for initial maintenance (£1k for rod bearings, £2k for clutch & flywheel, £2k for diff, £1k for Vanos)...and you’ll still have an £8k car :P

So you might as well spend £14k on a sub-100k car.
