Good to see E30s from the Zone in the mag!

Good feature. I agree, could have been more action shots!

Not sure what you mean here but I only took down what you told me :P :wink:

Also, if you notice I didn't say you actually bought and fitted it yourself, but that you simply have it and rate it :D

For those that can't find the mag anywhere, there's the ability to buy a quarterly subscription for Ԛ£8.34 from here: http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/s ... @365886042

Looks as though I've got to get myself one of these magazines then if I'm to really starting researching getting a BMW of some sort!

So apart from a Jet garage, where else can I get one?

No probs Karan, the whole flipping internet thing is confusing :cry: :twisted:

Just to let you all know, I can't send CDs out yet because we haven't got the pics back yet, but I can send mags out to those who have sent/can send me their address 8)

Crossie, that's in the previous issue with the M6 on the cover (63).

It might still be in some shops. Failing that, call our back issues department on 08708374773 :D
