Cars in Action magazine in South Africa is known to be biased towards BMW's. For this reason many people aren't buying the mag anymore. It is also a well know fact that the owners and editors of the magazine only drive BMW cars. I agree that all Cars In Action submissions should be removed as once again the only time the Z4 is faster is at Kyalami.
