Maybe there is something about announcing your departure from F1 that has created a void in the performance of BMW this season and if there was a weekend to make that point it would have been this wekend in Monza. Both cars had engine problems in qualifying, where both drivers had to park their vehciles with the same fault. Starting near the back of the field for the race, both BMW f1 cars found it hard to be at the back of the race and eventually pulled both cars out, some believing to save their engines for future races where speed is less of an issue than downforce. BMW are currently looking for a buying for their F1 operation and on this performace will be lucky of they can give it away. The f1 championship may be over for BMW, but if some performance and points can be scored before the end of the season, then at least there may be be a better chance of a buyer.

Wife Swapping BMW Z4
The latest Top Gear review of the latest BMW Z4 compared with the Nissan 370z. Jeremy did not like the old Z4, but has a different opinion of the new one, stating that the old Z4 was for wife swapping where the keys were not in the ignition much. In fact he has the strength to say this car was nice and is softer than the old one and would want one more than the dinosaurs of Top gear cars, this is a must be a result if ever there was one. There is no doubt it looks good and that folding roof just makes it look good with the roof or down.
Jeremy had bought a Mercedes SLK before, he now says he would have bought the new BMW Z4, praise indeed. If you can’t afford to buy the new Z4 then why not lease the BMW?
