Why I waited for a BMW in the right colour, can't wait to give it a proper clean

[Jake]

Yeah detailing day sounds good man...

[Piggy]

I realy dont like BMWs...a lot...

but it has to be said that you have got a lot of car there for very little money.

a good buy

[THE_Liam]

That's the thing about big capacity petrols these days, you can get them for nothing, lots of car for the money. Mate of mine just got a mk4 Golf 4motion with 81k, FSH, really high spec with heated leaders and climate, and a 200bhp V6 and 4 wheel drive for £1200, to get a GT TDI in that condition was £3500...

[Piggy]

love it.
all the cool cars from my teens are now cheap....

just that cost of insurance and fuel to sort out

[THE_Liam]

The £2300 price difference will help. The 4motion is shocking though, 30mpg at best on a cruise, 17-19mpg round town

[Piggy]

ouchy. nearly as good a gti6!

[THE_Liam]

Horrific I know, I'm convinced its broken

[declantg]

No real updates, just gave it a full wax and clean

defo need to dim down how bright the indicators are front and rear...

look so bright

[declantg]

Dim the indicators?

I'm ordering the black mask front indicators

[Curt]

Looks good Dec, same colour as my old 330

I don't know what they were thinking with the front plate though

[declantg]

I really don't know haha.

Found a couple of pin prick size rust dots on the paintwork so going to have my front bumper and the bits resprayed/ fixed.
Also what colour should I go for with the wheels?

[Curt]

I think the sliver looks good tbh. Oooor get something with dish and do the centres yellow like I was going to

[Grant]

Your number plate is wonky.


Just saying

[declantg]

Nah I want to keep this as OEM as possible, sensible car ftw

[C.A.R.]

Lookig good but the chrome needs replaced with a shadowline kit.
