Good man BW, great feeling isn't it.

Also i found a new website, this does not bode well

I thought you had a red ST?
Or who has that?

Supergurrier · 26-05-2013 12:18AM

The 5-6 people on here who have/had ST's all had them in blue i think dood

CianRyan · 26-05-2013 12:23AM

That hurts my brain.

Congrats Bubble Wrap! It's a good feeling alright but the rents are right! The whole learning thing starts now!

@SuperGurrier - Secret fanboi? If you buy a 325i I'll personally drive to Galway and hit ya a smack...:D

In other news, der 156 hit over 90k miles today. 21k km done in the last 7 months! :eek:

However I like to think of her as a fine Italian wine.....she's getting better with age...;):pac:

CianRyan · 26-05-2013 12:58AM

Well it's the right colour at least.

And yeah, no more 325's, people.

Dartz · 26-05-2013 01:12AM

Congratulations...

Now you can forget the whole lot. ;P

Do the right thing, think outside the box.

I do like BMW's (we all secretly do) but we've enough of then in this forum.
And I still maintain, I'll never buy an M3. To many other options.

The look of confusion on Matt S's face when I came out with that at the dyno day.

Chris_Heilong · 26-05-2013 01:43AM

Well done BW, hope the video I posted helped a little;)
The pretest on the day really helps as you get to make all your mistakes then and drive properly on the actual test.

BTW, you wont get the pink license you should be getting the Credit card one.

Oh yes it did indeed. I also looked at more of the videos on that Channel and save me about 3 or 4 lessons.

Very true, but my mouth was so dry during the test. It was unreal... :eek:

Oh ya, I forgot about that. The paper one is just such a pain to carry around. Or that's how I find it.

There's a few cars I'm thinking about but the main requirement is about 150+ hp. My shortlist consists of these:

A4 Avant Quattro
A6 Avant Quattro
520/525i M-Sport Estate or Saloon
Legacy B4 Estate

Thanks dude.

Only in the North could you get 3 of these in a row. Same wheels on the other 2 and all

I'm guessing yours is the one with the contrasting fuel cover! Peugeots used to be very poular late 90s for about 10 years. Not sure why there are fewer of them other than the shift to German "status" brands.

Mismatch panels for that 1980's effect

The B4 is a sweet car but interior wise it will be shat upon by ze Germans.
Think about a Stagea with an R34 front end.

Get a 325 dude, you won't regret it! Then I'll actually know someone with an e46 325 in cork which would be handy for tools etc. it's annoying buying 2litres of gear and diff oil when you only need 1.1 litres :mad:

Hearing good things about the Fuchs, I stayed loyal to Millers myself, Millers brake fluid, Millers engine oil, Millers gear oil and Millers CVL :pac:

There's 25% off opieoils.co.uk this weekend if you need anything too. Can't remember the code but it's on their facebook

They do that every month or so, handy out

I also got the Evans Waterless Coolant, I was skeptical at the start but jaysis the car runs so much cooler and I could take the lid off the rad when the car was up to temp and running!

Lads when buying a car off a dealer for cash what sort of discount can I hope to get? If they want 15k could i make an offer of say 13.5k? How much scope for discount do dealers allow?

Depends on the car, if it's well priced for what it is then you might not be able to, if it's overpriced and they want rid then they could bite your hand off.

I reckon if I do get a new car it'll be a 325 or 525. I'm leaning more towards the 5er though as I prefer its looks in M-Sport guise.

Would insurance not be a lot?

Ardennes1944 · 26-05-2013 12:21PM

There's a really, really nice 525 e39 around college road. Owner lives up near the lough.
You can have a decent spin in mine anytime if you want
