They have a lovely 116d in a nice blue colour with an m sport pack........and a 41k price tag. Scary price tbh for a 1 series.

I saw a 114d in the work carpark today...

wiki says 95 PS (70 kW; 94 hp) @4000 235 N·m (173 lb·ft) @1500–;2750

max torque is even narrower for the 116d, 260 N·m (192 lb·ft) @1750–;2500

I know I promised car pics from paris. I did say at the time it was my girlfriend that was using the camera phone.

Came back from paris and we broke up a few days later. ... feeling pretty ****ty.... but here's a few pics from my phone off the modern stuff.

Looks like a Carmen Ghia but front grills are wrong.

Thinking of selling the old E39 520i. Huge price variations in the ads I've seen. 03 with FSH, leather, MFSW with an NCT until 04/14. Whats a realistic price Identical to this one

well the dealer asking 5k for one is in dream land, you can get E60s for less than that with more spec and better engines.

Certainly is. Might offer him mine for half that

Just renewed my car insurance, almost half of what I paid last year. In fairness, in the interim I got my full license but still I was quite happy.
Let's see how that changes when I replace the 1.4L with a 2.2L.

Also, dropped from fully comp to TPFT so that accounts for some of it. :P

Who did you call? I got mine 130€ cheaper than last year with the same level of cover with Axa. Call your local branch and negotiate. No one with comparable cover came close

Dude that's f*cked up, the exact same thing happened to a close friend of mine went to Paris with the other half and when they got back left him a lousy thing to do :mad:

Chin up man, things will get better

I've avoided the problem by refusing to take the OH to Paris

Me too, but then again I don't have a passport, or that other bit

I've had two free trips to Paris and it just wasn't possible for the OH to come. Then again I don't think she would have liked me ranting about how good French cars look in their home country and insisting on windows licking every car boutique in the city

Did you call up? The quotes I got online and by email were significantly higher than when I called up. Even then, don't accept the first one they throw at you. :pac:

M3 lip spoiler painted and on its way to me

Glad I didn't read that before I went to Paris, I'd have been bricking it.

Sorry to hear that, man.
