YES!! I DO THIS!!
Take the plastics out and have a lighter car
Actually, half the interior has been out of my car for the last 2 months whilst I sort out a leak. It's so noisy and unrefined with the interior panels missing. Perhaps I should the the inside of all the panels leathered aswell.
Then my car smell like Mercedes!

I drive 2 Rovers, one of which is up on wooden blocks in the garden. I'm sure a BMW would be the same way, the way I drive my cars
Back in a good old rattly derv - shocking enough my interior doesn't rattle though, I feel left out like the fatty in a threesome who just watches

Oh yes i do *panto
You prob could have bought one by now if you did not chop and change so much.
True but i enjoy experiencing diffrent cars, keeping the same car for too long is boring

its never nice for the cooling system to not work!
This is why I'm contemplating replacing the BMW with a French car...never had any major problems with them...although I did blow up one engine, but about £50 got me a replacement with less miles.
In my experience...
French > BMW
...for reliability...although the BMW is a nicer place to be than the equivalently aged French car.

BMW free zone, thats turned pro french, i'm outa here!
Not sure what you mean. My seats are heated, electrically adjustable, leather and don't have any Germanic origins at all.
Reminds me I never did get around to posting any interior shots of my car.
i once had a 406 diesel. i got it with 112k miles, it was a few years old. that car was mint. i once stopped in a motorway services because i thought i could hear a rattle in the dashboard. turned out to be my key rings. the car was silent (and deathly slow) but it was a trooper. had it 6 months and it didnt cost a bean, only petrol/insurance etc.
Well this should be easy, as there are only two types of car in the world, BMWs and old french diesels
No smoke no poke!
(no clutch, no poke
No there isn't.
Oh wait... *Looks at derv 306 out the front*

good old 406 Derv, cracking engine.
I've had two french cars, Almost new 1.1 saxo and a Pre Reg 1.2 Clio, saxo was alright didn't let me down and had done 70k when i crashed it.
Clio was a pig and needed two new wheel bearings after 27k, tbh i could see myself enjoying some french cars but as an ownership experience from nearly new the dealers suck.
Yep i never want another.
