200,000 mile 528i Sport

HAHA, You reckon it would get to the end of the road?

What sort of punishment (Sorry I mean mileage ) can those engines expect to take?

 

[thepharcyde]

Fair enough, not to everyones choice, but you seem happy which is all that matters

Did you test drive the competition before buying this i.e. Focus?

I hear a tidy 523i (might be a 525i or something) is coming on the market soon for £2500, cooling system may or may not be present

 

[Hairy]

Not sure - Focus ST170 maybe? Might be pushing it a bit though.

That's an Alfa,

I do love playing with electrics, however I like getting to work on time!

They'll go on for ever if you are content to keep pouring funds in.

Most people, however, are not

Yeah, I didnt like the look of the estate and the hatchback is just a bit too small.

HAHA, 1x cooling system on ebay anytime soon?

Surely the hatch is as practical as a 3 door Astra?

 

[GreenMint]

Cheeky so and so!

Okay, you've got £2900, What would you fancy?

Main thing is you are enjoying the car, but watch out, someone seems to have the rear end on a jack in piccie #1!

More about the boot space than anything.

Lots of moving servers.

I don't often travel with a full car.

And I quite like the longer doors on the 3dr.

HAHA, I think Its floating.

Must be a side effect of the teleporter

Damn you, beaten to it.

See my sig and enjoy your new car. Is it the 1.8, 2.0 or 2.2 ?

I don't know how anyone can put up with the driving position on these. I'd be tempted to take a chainsaw to the centre console to avoid banging my knee on it all the time.

 

[Minxy]

Are you stupidly tall then? I've never had an issue with that myself but then I am only 5ft 6 so don't have very long legs.

No, he just wears platfrom shoes.

 

[Janesy B]

Don't laugh at my platforms, It's the only way I can reach the pedals

 

[InvaderGIR]

Does it?

I saw someone the other day with fogs on and a misted up windscreen....fail.

Well...it was foggy...just not outside the car.

No, he really isn't.

And you drive a fez? The driving position is better than the fez, easily. You do know the seat goes up and down, back and forwards?
