    Autosport Show 2011

    Yes, well not the actual pass, but I have just finished the BMW build, we are showcasing an M3 GTS and an M3 Coupe. Press days are definitely worth your while, less people, easier to get about. As for getting contacts, this depends, you might end up getting fobbed along by the wrong people...

    Life expectancy of a new bike.

    not trying to offend, but you are a car / bike dealers wet dream. You cant live life in fear of the minority of cases of a vehicles failure. Do you drive everywhere simple due to a aeroplane crash 4 years ago, or not go on a boat due to the titanic sinking.
