E89 Z4
New SLK next year
370Z coupe
335i coupe
Clio 200 (Ally you put me off it LOL!)
Cooper S
Ibiza Bocanegra

Got something sorted now. Pics week after next.
:oops: hope I didn't put you off too much! I still maintain my Clio 172 was the most fun car I've driven, until my Z4 that is. But it's a different sort of fun...

No hints then? You going to make us wait Mike?!

Get real, surely you can't go from Merc quality (ignore reliability) to Froggie "hot hatch"? From past experience, the French DO make good hot hatches, but so fragile that they can't handle their own performance . . . just go for it . . . BMW, what's the problem ?
