Ride is busy, I got used to it though by today. The 2.0i wasn't unbearable by any means, although if you made it work it could get thirsty. I'm just spoilt by 6 cylinder cars now.
I have just seen that broadspeed are doing the 35iS which is the twin turbo 1M engined version, with 340hp for £14k off list, brand new factory order!
I cant own 2, 2 seater cars though surely! That would just get annoying!
Well thats it dropped back off, and I immediately welcomed having 320hp back under my foot.
However, im already missing the whole top down experience, after having sat in a new 4 convertible in the showroom, im going back for a test drive in the near future lol...
Hard to tell really, I'm sure the 35iS with the 7 speed DCT box is pretty epic. The ride is much busier and firmer than my M135i and that's on eibachs!
Nice and supportive rob but i find after half an hour I get monumental lower back pains. Definately needs the optional lumber support. So in that respect the ones in the 1 series are in a different league.
I'm worried about what people expected me to look like!!!
Mineral white is an anazing colour, I'm actually gutted that dads changed his order to alpine white.
I specced up a 35is last night to £54k!!
Tell you what though, this thing gets attention unlike any other car I've driven (Vee included)
Everyone seems to comment or stare at it. Last night went to the Chinese and a middle aged man and woman came out as I got out of the car and they stopped and asked me about it, saying how smart it...
So last November we were at a local charity do and there was an auction for various items. One of the items was a Z4 for the weekend of your choice, with all the money going to a local hospice I won the z4 at £140!
With today being my birthday I took a long weekend off work and picked up the...
Technically if your with the right girlfriend / wife then there won't be a next guy.
Im not planning my Vee to ever have another owner, it's not costing me anything and the money wouldn't be much cope in the bank. Having the M135i as a daily does make it easier to not drive the Vee lol
Definately not Roy, it's sat in that same spot and never shifted. It's literally blocked in by junk and bits of tree and scrap. I drive past it most days. IIRC guy lost his license for some reason as well.
Lol great plan mate!
i can honestly see it being an uneconomical repair though, if there's no engine covers alone that can be a couple of grand, I wonder if the undertrays are present, the interior will be mouldy, re spray, wheels refurbed, new tyres, new brakes, remove engine, do cambelt and...
This car is literally 1 mile from my house, when I was going around in my old Black Gold V6 circa 2007 it was driven and always clean. It's been sitting dumped for basically 6 years. Engine covers are nowhere to be seen and its paintwork is wrecked, looks like something's been poured over the...
