Re: A Z4 in the family?

Anyone looking for a Lexus IS200? Russ http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b286/RussJ/P1010937.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...

Re: A Z4 in the family?

Well, we've now got one! 2004 3l manual in Maldives Blue with just about every extra they did. Only done 38k and has full BMW service history. I drove it back from Doncaster to Norwich and it went well (almost as good as my SLK!). Surprised at the fuel economy - 35+mpg and I wasn't hanging about... ...
