So I put a deposit on a "new" car today. It's got 4wd, 250+bhp and room for the dog

I'll throw up a picture when I collect it. The e46 was cracking me up.

Ah here you're as bad as CIP4 now :pac:

No offense lads just jealous

Anyone caught up at the Go Garage on the Kylemore road? Must have been 30 cars there abandoned earlier on with a good few up on tow trucks not running after filling up so contamination of some sort by the looks of things

If anyone wants a giggle.

Go onto the Opel website (I'd prefer not to go into what I was doing there).

Configure an Insignia Exclusive.

Stare in amazement of the price of the special paints.

Had a look just why. Can’t see anyone ever speccing one even if you were loaded it would make no sense at all.

XDrive would be fairly rare in those unless it's an F series he's after buying!

Modern xdrive BMW :cool:
I'd take one over a rwd m sport tbh.

As an aside it's interestesting how even manufacturers now seem to interchange AWD and 4WD .......... in days gone by a 4WD had permanent drive to all 4 wheels and more often than not a low range transfer case. AWD was the likes of Quattro etc.

I notice a Sante Fe is now sold as being 4WD while the same (I think) system in the sorento is badged as AWD

What about a remap MM. Did you ever bother or consider it?

Leonard Hofstadter

They were 228 bhp to begin with in the E90, all LCIs were 241 bhp as they put the N57 into them at that stage (or 2009 in the case of the Coupé and Vert as the LCI came later in those from memory). All F30s are 255 bhp. G20 will have at least 261 bhp as they'll finally switch over to the B57 then.
