They get snapped up in no time at all, years back when there were plenty and cheap the drift lads got hold of them and basically ruined them all.
Now even a scrapper will go for silly money, I'd say north of 3k just for the tuning gear, even the manual 535i's are silly money too even though...
I'll be honest, I don't really like them, I can't get my head around the fact they fit wider front tyres! (assuming to stop it understeering so much)
But. As a really bloody quick daily car when you've also got a Boxster then it makes a lot of sense.
I also find the Medianav fine, I've heard of quality issues if you're trying to stream via Bluetooth but if you're listening to the radio or iPhone plugged in etc it sounds good.
It can be a bit slow to respond when you first turn it on but it's literally no issue at all, and if someone said I...
Does it run locked all the time?
My XFR one is the first that is locked all the time even from low revs in high gears.. soo much better and efficient than the older generation stuff.
There's a young kid here with an orange one who drives like a dick everywhere. Few weeks back he was behind me in a 30 zone (I was doing 30) and we were about 150 yards before some red traffic lights. He hammered it past me then stopped in the right turn lane at the red light about 3 seconds...
So you like having just one car that does it all, I get that completely...

You've for...
Should update this really, sold last weekend for £900! Had lots and lots of interest in it, I probably could of got a bit more but the first guy who came to see it was really sound so...
So roughly £1500 a year more to run, I wouldn't say that's a huge amount in great scheme of things, depreciation etc.
Specially if you really enjoy it.
I've got some stuff today to do the headlights so I'll have a go over the weekend.. Tempted by some plates but I don't want to pile money into it for no real reason, it stops being a shed then and into something I care about.
It's 210hp I think, doesn't sound a lot but it's really torquey. It...
Having sold my 550i I needed a runabout while I wait for the correct spec/priced XFR to come up, this could be tomorrow or 6 months time, I'm not fussed either way.
I was initially looking at cars £1500, but didn't think I'd be much safer with one at that price than £500..
My criteria was a...
