Changed out our E61 & E89 for an E91 & E93.....oh and as part of the deal we got our grand daughter her first BMW.The sales manager thought I was taking the piss when I said the deal hinges on you giving us the kids car as part of the deal.

The outgoing cars




And their replacements

Nice job with the 3rd car!

What sparked the change from the Z4 to the 3 Coupe? Needed the extra seats?

Sweet rides! That one for the granddaughter, is that the pedal car? I was thinking of getting one, as it said it's got adjustable pedals, but I'm not sure up to what age you think it'll be good for? My son is 4.5 years old already, and is about 45 inches tall.

Yes exactly that and also she who must be obeyed(sometimes)wanted back into another 3 cab as she loved her last one.

I'd say your son would be a bit on the big side for the pedal car,my Grand daughter is around 26" tall and even with the adjustable pedals and seat I'd reckon a kid of maybe 36" is the little cars max.
They do look cool though

Thanks a lot! Saved me getting one thru the internet! I thought they said they're good from ages 3+, but didn't know for how long...

Funny how your not the first person to say that but,there is no way my wife will have "666" on any car of hers,guess she must be a little supersticious? I do have a VW Golf cab which I have considered putting that plate on but,since it's a plate I've had on every daily driver since the mid 90's It'll stay on the E91 for a while.

Thanks mate,I bought it a couple of years ago in a rather sorry state of repair and have spent a few quid and countless hours bringing it back to life.
It's one of those cars that has gone way beyond it's value and is now an ongoing project that's likely never to be finished.
