Ausmotive goes offline for a couple of months, but when it comes back it comes back with a big exclusive story lol. Welcome back Ausmotive!
Ahaha ways comment so true!
Well done thought!!!
I’m in the market for a new car and this car would be a good option. My only problem is that I can’t trust BMW Australia and it’s dealer network to look after me with its after sales service. Known issues with BMW design, recognised by BMW in other parts of the world and repaired even when the car is out of warranty, are not acknowledged by BMW Australia. Deal Breaker.
Can I go dibs on Wayne’s? Not a bad price for the manual!!!
Noice.
Bloody hell, missed out on dibs again!
Welcome back Liam
When can we have some info on the new Alfa Giula (ya slack bastard)
Welcome back mate, it has been a while.
I so hope the price is lower with corp discount applied.
