Many thanks Rhys. That's useful. Seems very few BMW Forum folk are here in IoW-land, and given that it costs us £50 to get a car over here from the mainland, no doubt if there are some it might save someone sometime a ferry trip. PS: although I can recommend to all in Wessex Forum a drive around the island for anyone wanting to take their BMW on an challenging but attractive jaunt.  -------------

Thanks. Looks extensive. No 6ers at present by the looks but well worth a look indeed. PS: and, I must say, a very tactical tag line on your reply above, considering Pompey/Soton rivalry.
