It's funny how much of a difference such a small change can make - the front plate now looks 'right' whereas before it looked comically big! Good work chap
Glad I found this link, thanks Jon - I just ordered the same product from the same supplier on eBay but they were charging £64.99 with free P&P.
Just called them and they're refunding me the £15.50 difference. Result!
The Trophy is only wearing 15 coats of sealant, not the 23 it usually does when it makes a public appearance. I just can't cope with that.
Also it's with Mike for a few jobs.
Anyway, I thought everyone agreed to the name change - BMWsport.net
Another option in the mix is the 182 Trophy - no Xenons or climate (but it does have air con), and it comes with trick Sachs dampers (which need refurbing every Y thousand miles / X years), anthracite Turinis and Recaro Trendlines as standard.
Only 500 were sold in the UK market, all...
I've got the full Thule 754 feet, 1119 fitting kit & 861 (120cm) aero bars if you're interested?
I've not used them with the Trophy but I know couzens took a roof box to Le Mans last year on his Clio v6 using similar equipment. Hero!
This is actually yours?! What's the reason for selling?
It's perfect for my garden, my daughter would LOVE it, but a) what kind of vehicle would I need to transport it (without the water), and b) what does it realistically cost to run/maintain per annum?
I had an interview once and told the guy I had a Clio, to which he replied Cup? I said no, Trophy, and he actually knew what it was. There then followed a comprehensive chat about all things cars but I never got offered the job.
These are departure times:
7.30am - Chieveley Services (M4 / A34)
8am - Leigh Delamere Services (M4)
8.15am - Layby on Acton Turville Road, just off the A46, a few hundred metres north of M4 J18
We'll be leaving the layby at 8.15am and by the time we've got there, queued, got in & found the...
I would have thought DAB still requires an aerial, but you might be able to pick up some stations if the signal is strong.
As Scott says, the BAND button is likely the way to go, or a button that is FM/DAB.
At the end of the day it's only a car, who gives a shít?
If you already own a V6 then one less on the roads makes yours even more desirable, and if you aspire to own a Vee then keep saving because this isn't the one for you.
Wow, just wow. That's a great write-up Darren, of what I'm sure was a superb trip. I'm now off to start planning!
The biggest drawback for me is that it's 400 miles from home to Glasgow, which is no great shakes, but having been north of the border for 3/4/5 days it's one hell of a slog back...
