£600? I got the Toyo Proxes on my 18" Superleggeras for about £100 a corner.[TW]Fox said:Surely if the car is on the standard 18's they are the same tyre size as the 18's on the E39's (265/35/18 rear and 225/40/18 front I think) and thus you can get a full set of premium tyres for £600.

[TW]Fox said:The BMW OEM 18" alloys have wider rear tyres which are approximately £140 each. The front tyres are £120 each for a quality tyre.
So just over 500 quid, not 600 quid, but even so.
NickXX said:My current set of tires (on OEMs) cost a smidge over £600.

Bes said:Well small update...Went a cleaned the Cupra today and picked up what I thought was a leaf from the driver's carpet... it was actually a mushroom growing So yeah I have a problem....
My sister's boyfreind is looking at selling his black 03 reg Cupra R with 35000 miles on it. He wants around £10K for it. I reckon I'll get this instead as it will work out cheaper than buying a BMW with double the miles on it.
You're right it's not but its a hell of a lot cheaper considering I'm only doing it cause my car seems to be causing me too much grief....ajgoodfellow said:It's up to you
Personally I don't think that it's a huge upgrade from a Cupra to a Cupra R - you'll notice a far bigger upgrade with a 330
BMWs should take miles in their stride

Mines a one- off, Fox Occasionally someone gets a bad egg, and this time it was me![TW]Fox said:.... your car causes you grief so you are keen to rush out and replace it with another one virtually exactly the same?
I do really like the 330(c)i, Its more the fact I don't wanna fork another £6,000 out for something I might only use 7-8 months of the year. Whilst I cannot keep my car (as its probably gonna rot from the damp unless I fork out £500 in repairs!) any 330 I buy is going to be an unknown quantity whereas I could simply upgrade to an LCR (which I know has been trouble free and is in warranty) at half the cost and already- expended mileage. I can then put that £3K towards getting an //M in a few years.Replicant said:7K is a decent amount of mileage, might as well get anything really, perhaps a 330ci sport at around 13K.
