Car Reviews
We have collected some excellent car reviews over the last few months, which provide a real world experience of ownership from real people. The reviews detail the best and worst elements from performance to insurance and repair bills to provide our visitors.
The E36 vs E46 M3 and 930 vs Cayman type reviews are becoming more popular to help our visitors make informed decisions on what aspects of cars will suit their requirements.
This site is aimed to help those buyers who are not necessarily interested in buying new but still want something exciting, well built with reasonable running costs and minimal depreciation. These are the type of buyers that research the most whether your budget is cash or finance and £5k or £50k.
Please continue the good work and send your reviews to ns@fastgerman.com

BMW Ring Taxi
FG has a team of 14 driving to Nurburg for the German F1 and 125 Years of The Car. After seeing an Article on Pistonheads about the BMW ring taxi, I thought it worth checking the availability on F1 weekend noting the Grand Prix circuit and the Nordschleife are seperate circuits.
Although we may not see this M3 used as the Ring Taxi
We may see something like this
Response back from BMW Ring Taxi shows they plan a month at a time but the line up does not include an M5 or M3 for March:
Dear Mr. Neil,
I’m sorry but in the moment I have only dates for March, but at the beginning of April we become more info for the next few months. We will are going to drive this year with the following vehicles:
Porsche 911 Clubsport 997 (415) price 349,- € Euro incl. 19% VAT or
MINI John Cooper Works (211 PS), price 195,- € Euro incl. 19% VAT
Please back at a later at the beginning of april.
