Compared to a Cayman and a SLK55.

Only had it through the post this morning, - I haven't read.it yet so I can't tell you which they thought was best.

Great, I'll try to pick up a copy. I had a bit of a last minute panic trying to find a car for the magazine, we got one sorted through BMWCC. The deputy editor sent some of the text to me so I made some amendments and sent it back but didn't get confirmation they would use this, so let's hope it's ok.

I was at the local chinese takeaway yesterday evening. To avoid watching the cr**py TV whilst waiting I picked up the first magazine from the pile. Turns out it was an Evo from 2006, with a review of a nice Midnight Blue Z4MC. They seemed to quite like it. Unfortunately my wife wouldn't let me steal the mag :x

Don't know much about slk55 but I think you will find the cayman is a bit more expensive at the moment.

It was in the shops a month ago, so you'll be very lucky to find a copy now as the subsequent month's edition has now been published.

I was in WHSmith Shaftesbury (granted not the height of modern civilisation) yesterday and it was still on the shelves. :thumbsup:

Yeah, but which issue is it - February?
We get them slower out here in the colonies and there is a chance I can call around and find one but I need to know the issue before I can try that.
