I said kinda!

We need a comfort barge for all the bloody M4 miles we are doing but at some point Desmo's car is gonna need changing sooooo .... ;) heh

We're taking the 5 for a nice long test drive on Saturday morning so we'll see what this chappy can come up with then :)

/thinks of names for her
 
I had a dream about the cars last night :eek:

It's like having to chose between 2 favourite toys :/

Hopefully we'll be able to decide after driving them both on Saturday
 
And the winner is ...























BLUE ! :D

The black one was a bit of a dog and the car dealer was an Arthur Daly type affair :/

The ad said 62,000m but it was actually 87,000m - No Sunroof as advertied - Due an inspection 1 service - No Tax - Not all BMW Services - Front fog light smashed which isn't a problem in itself but it was all rusty inside which shows it had been smashed for a while .. basically it all smacked of not really been looked after :(

I must admit I do prefer the look of the Blue as well

The only downside of the Blue compared to the Black was the engine but Desmo drove them both ( We were in Colchester and I didn't want to drive the Black one because I didn't have a clue where I was ) and said there wasn't THAT much difference so i's not really an issue for what we want it for .. A motorway cruiser

The Blue one does need taxing but that was the only thing - It's only just had an inspection 2 service and has clearly been looked after very well

In the end we've paid £6,300 - £2K for Dexy and the rest in wonga :)

Me = Happy :cool:

You only got £2k for the FTO?

No way I thought you'd be looking at at least £4k?

Not a hope in hell .. the market has been flooded with them now the majority have reached 10+ years old therefore no need for an SVA :/

Dealers are imported them ( and not good quality ones ) left right and bloody centre so the price has gone right down .. have a look on autotrader .. average price is £2.5-3K :(

We'll be picking the 5 up mid-late next week so I'll post some pics next weekend .. already been looking at alloys :o
 
We haven't got a grand kicking around at the moment , we're just looking at alloys at the moment to get an idea

They won't be changed until about 6 months time at the earliest after we've saved some money up :)

unless you have money to burn i'd advise against spending unecessary money on any car.
if you DETEST the wheels your car has then that's one thing, but if it's just because you think wheel xyz looks a bit nicer then remind yourself you're spending what is essentially dead money on your car.

We're not changing them just for the sake of it - this isn't a car like Dexy where I want to mod the pants off it but I really don't like the wheels that are on there now :(

I didn't let it put me off buying it because that car is looovely and the wheels are something that can be changed at some point :)

Lies. I took the liberty of making you a shopping list.

1x Set facelift headlights: £329
1x Set rear facelift CELIS lights: £180
1x Genuine BMW Sport pack (Front/rear bumpers/fogs) £1175 inc fitting/spraying
4x BMW Style 37 M-Parrellel 18" alloy wheels with Eagle F1 GS-D3 tyres: £900

Result: One awesome looking car. Infact, one that looks like the one I posted with the wheels on :p

Get out of it !! :p

As much as I would LOVE to do all that realistically we're looking at just the alloys ....... and maybe the headlights :o

I know it's all too easy to get carried away on a car , I spent not far short of £2.5K on Dexy and I'd only just started :eek:
 
Pretend Dexy was nowhere near as fun as my real Dexy :/

My last day of driving her today and I think I'm going to cry when I hand her over :(

I think the crying will stop though when I start driving the new car because it's just soooo lovely and comfy and smooth and has lots of toys to play with :D
 
The swap hath been done !!

I was in a sulk on the way there and was all sad when we drove off and I waved bye bye to Dexy :(

I started to perk up when the car was on the bypass and then when I drove home from Tescos I felt all happy again :D

She's looovely to drive and the toys are amazing

Going to get some new numberplates ordered then we'll post some pics :)
