BMW employee leases/management cars are on 9 month turnovers, not sure what term JLR do theirs over

Where abouts in Chichester? There aren't many places to live that are far from the station. I'd get a bike and cycle to the station, especially having to drive that a27 stretch everday

You're not paying for any better quality - you're paying for all extra processes that the car has to go through! and the fact it's an 'off line' individual colour. I'd guess the quality may even be worse than your standard BMW. I'd also massively question the 40x cost! Good luck to anyone who...

Double :(

Double Double :'(

Surrounding roads are v.v.v. muddy - not great with a white car :'( Traffic was even bad getting home from work today, so probably doubled the distance getting home, but anything to avoid the a27 roundabout

It's the only bit I'm not keen on, but the options were this or Melbourne Metallic Red and with myself being of the ginger variety it would just be a clash :rolleyes: and of all reds around on cars, I really think it's one of the worst available. They are different lengths :( although the...

Picked up a new car today - complete upgrade from my previous 2001 Astra! 228i MSport Alpine White Sports Auto Professional Media MSport Plus Interior Comfort Pack Driver Comfort Pack Obligatory Supermarket Carpark potato pictures

Struggle with parking do we?

If you dont want to use a credit card get a pre-paid card. Ive been using a CaxtonFX card, you just put money onto the card as/when you need it, works like a credit card at point of sale and can take cash out from ATMs too. No charge for anything and the rates are pretty good. Although not quite...

If the mini has the media pack, the infotainment is the same as the 4series barring a slightly smaller screen. The heads up display is also a readily available options which IMO is great, something thats not even available on the 2series. I cant comment on the driving as I've only driven the...

Similar to Fox, a Qashqai and a 2 series are hardly comparable. How likely is your wife wanting to use the rear seats - because the rear seats of a 2 series aren't hugely usable. I don't know huge amounts on the Qashqai, but a few bits of the 2series. As for 'toys' - go for Professional Nav...

Only mine for a few months. Came to America thinking they'd give me some SUV and I get a Mini! Its really dwarfed on the roads here, but it's great fun to drive, especially when fuel is $20 for a full tank. Excuse the potato pics

Hmm how strange! I asked to try a sim in store and just constantly came up with no service. Maybe just ignore my previous post then!

Just be careful with what phone you have and what networks it can take. A T-Mobile SIM wouldn't work in my UK iPhone 6, whereas AT&T would. I think its something to do with UK vs US frequencies that the networks use.

In America for the next 3 months - I didn't know what car work would provide, was hoping for an X5 but ended up with a Cooper S - feels slightly dwarfed by all the SUVs and pickups! (Although loving having a heads up display!)

Can finally start posting in this thread. Ordered my ('borrowing') new car. Going from a 2001 1.6 Astra to a 228i MSport. Should arrive in June!

But isn't that the whole point of it? If you've got large savings then you're obviously well on the way to having a reasonable deposit, but for many people slowly starting to save for a deposit may give people the chance to start an ethos of saving rather than spending ever penny they can and...

I Really don't get what everyone is complaining about, Even if you're planning on buying in 12 months it's still better than anything else available. Fair enough the 250k limit could be annoying for some, but as far as I'm aware that's only to qualify for the bonus, so it's still a 4% account...

435i Grand coupe - much more pleasant to the eye than the 3 series. Or if AWD is a must, then a 435d Xdrive GC. Mmmmm http://usedcars.bmw.co.uk/4-Series/3.0-435i-M-Sport-s/s/Shrewsbury/4021172-605262361-3497091.aspx?srcmdc=se_na_re_
