No, not very appealling. No.

And unspeakably ugly. I doubt even its mother loves it.

How wrong you are. The closest BMW have got to their roots in a long time. Particularly the Coupe, reminds me of the E30 3 Series – arguably the best looking BMW, ever – small car, big-power, rear-wheel-drive.

I learned something today, I always assumed the black box was near the flight deck!!

Its actually further back. Normally in the ceiling around the rear doors.

I do love a German diesel…..

If so, check out the BMW 123d, immensely impressive. 2.0 Diesel with 204bhp and 400Nm torque. Frugal too! 🙂

I personally wish Varsity the best of luck with this venture. I believe it holds lots of potential. However, they do need to do more with the aircraft, three hours utilization per day is pitiful. But i am sure there is more to be announced in due course.

It appears that the aircraft is being operated for Varsity Express by Linksair.

As would be normal, they – Varsity Express – only pay for the aircraft when it is flying. Otherwise, it can sit day long for all they care.

…It seemed to work back in 2005…

Crikey, that is quite the post from the past!
