Bernard Tomic In Trouble With the Law: Dangerous Driving of His BMW M3
Bernard Tomic hasn’t had the greatest week. Tomic drives a BMW M3 at home on the Gold Coast, Australia.

The special conditions mean that Tomic is only allowed to drive the luxury sports car to drive directly to and from tennis training at the Queen St courts in Southport.
