Beauty with speed

BMW M4 competition is smooth to drive and feels very comfortable to ride. BBT allows me to drive it once and my experience with this car is unforgettable. The only issue I face is that this car is not made for Indian roads, as it is meant to be driven endlessly, but this is not possible in Indian day-to-day roads.

Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome

Good very good I bought it 9 years ago and it is working now just like a pro it didn't disappoint me Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome East and West Defender is the best But 1 problem is that is expensive but according to its price it is just fantastic No words for it The waiting period is very much but when you get it you will forget all the other cars and you will again and again just wow! Thank you Have a nice day
