BMW 1 SERIES 2011 – 2021

  By ,

The BMW 1 Series is the smallest car in the prestigious German company’s range. It’s aimed at those who enjoy their driving, rather than simply seeing it as a way at getting from one place to another. It has excellent engines driving the rear wheels. A downside is that rear-wheel drive takes some cabin and boot space because the engine and transmission are mounted longitudinally rather than sideways, so it encroaches into the passenger area. There’s good legroom in the front seats, though foot-width is restricted by the gearbox housing…. Read more

BMW Z4 2009 – 2019

  By ,

The BMW Z4 is a genuine sportscar not simply a convertible because it has a long bonnet and the occupants sit close to the rear wheels. The Z4 first reached us Downunder in 2004, but in this used car checkout we will begin with the introduction of the second generation from September 2009. The 2009 model was tamed slightly to be easier to live with on a daily basis.
