    TMA: c-class, 4 series

    Short trips, 27mpg. Motorway up to 37-38mpg. Mixed 30-31mpg. Very civilised. Engine noise sounds good when you want to be less civilised ;)

    I’ve had my 435i GC for 2 years - it’s been a great car. I would recommend it :D https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=72&t=1527364&mid=344144&nmt=My+435i+Gran+Coupe

    Adaptive LEDs are nice, I have them but I'm not sure I'd spec them from new. Professional Media is essential. Well, highly desirable. I wouldn't like to sell 330e without it tbh. Heated seats and steering wheel are excellent on a cold Winter morning. Add HUD and MSports Plus Pack. Those...

    Audi owners in here!

    Thanks for the help guys. Finding a non-poverty spec one is proving to be quite a bit of hassle, not helped by the atrocious Audi approved used website! I suppose if you spec one up you're into rs territory... Edit: like the RS6 :)

    Audi owners in here!

    Quick question- I test drove a 2013 s4, it was a nice place to be, and it was pretty quick, but the in car tech was a bit old fashioned. It only has the basic tech package, does it get any better with the advanced tech pack, or is it stuck with being based against an a4 which is due to be...

    Test drove a 535i yesterday, really liked it and am considering ordering one. Are the sort of discounts on Broadspeed realistic for this car at this point in its lifecycle? Also if anyone could recommend must have options, I have a heavy mouse finger when speccing up cars :)

    That does seem excessive, it'll be a shame if they have put there prices up. You're welcome.

    Body work - Nottingham

    Really, sorry to hear that. When I had the keying repaired on my Mini, that involved respraying 3 panels, plus lots of minor points (about 6 plastic scuffs and minor paint touchups) that was about £370 inc VAT. That seemed reasonable given the labour required etc. Compared to Just car clinic...

    If you don't mind driving a short distance on the A52, these people's results and prices are excellent. http://www.car-cosmetics-derby.co.uk/index I have also used Just Car Clinic in Notts, they were okay, but not as cheap or as good quality/service as Car Cosmetics.

    I've been quoted £350 for retrofit of the OEM Bluetooth, including, mic, audio streaming, and integration with maxidot and bolero/columbus (if present).

    How much was that if you don't mind me asking? It looks great.

    Skoda

    Good choice of options, if was buying new that's exactly what I'd add. I've noticed I have maxidot, but I'd like Columbus nav, Bluetooth, mdi, auto lights and front parkers. I'd be interested if anyone can recommend where to get these retrofitted.

    330i was till the end of last year, it was having lots of problems, mostly small but some moderate (sensors etc). With no warranty the cost and hassle of garages having to look at things it became less special. The mrs needed a 5 door car, so I used her Mini Cooper for 9 months, we sold the...

    Ta :) In 2007, I came on here to get advice on which BMW to get, and had 5 happy years with an e46 330i sport. This year, reading the forums and Phil W's 'Skoda' thread convinced me that the petrol was the way to go.

    tbh I was originally set on the blue, then this came up at the right price so I went for it. Glad I did, colour looks really good in the flesh. It is indeed the proper engine, and the dealer made 34mpg driving it up from solihull in mixed driving so that'll suit me fine. And it shifts quite...
