My wife had a z3m coupe when i had my e91, had to wait till daughter in a front facing seat as no passenger airbag switch on that. Boot ok on that. Remember seeing a picture online someone took when I took daughter to breakfast club at goodwood of the car with recaro child seat. When my...

Still loving the pan roof combo with the light leather. Such a bright place to be.

Good update. You are right about the trim the dark wood looks better against that leather. Don't believe you will have much space. Whilst the e91 is a cracking looking car the narrow boot due to being rwd does not give great space once a pushchair is in there. Having the other back seat makes...

Coming from a fr which i assume is boosted. Beware the relative lack of low down torque. The 182 hides this better because of lower weight. The 197 or 200 you will need to be top of rev range to keep up with relatively modest looking modern turbo petrol or diesel cars. Ok on a back road or...

If you have no car as you crashed or blew up you previous one and need it to drive at the moment to your job at the hospital. Yes. If you are getting because its cheap? Does not sound essential. Remember any interaction with a stranger puts your friends and family at risk not just you. They...

Nice 280. Looks like you have not had a chance to get it dirty yet.

A friend of mine just ended his deal on a 335d and hands back to bmw a little early and picked up its replacement a new m135i. He said its sat outsiee its house with 100 miles on it. I have seen a good few people talking about the £229 a Month deals on megane rs with delivery dates soon. I guess...

In a similar vain to the"Anyone going for long drives" hopefully with less abuse. To relieve boredom I regularly look at pistonheads. Still a few nice cars coming up from private sellers. Noticed a nice black gold car with low miles and Recaros. I may have taken a look at such a car, unlikely...

Whilst out to my daily exercise (cycle) combined with collection of food supplies I came across a q7 broken down on a round about. Two police cars sped to it in blue lights. To assist the driver try in to push his elderly 2.5 tonne truck. I am sure he did not plan on breaking down when he...

Subaru is nice car we have had ours for 6 years bought with 25k now has 55k. Took 9 months to find and that was then. Has never missed a beat only std annual servicing at subaru main dealer. Does 27 mpg. Which reflects how uts driven! Always keep eyes peeled for nice 182 or 200. To partner up...

Sorry may have missed it but is it cup pack? The wheel colour is throwing me. Nice looking car. My wife has a sti widetrack but would still consider a nice 182 in a rare colour to replace it.

I reversed my meg in the garage and could not get out. Was not sure if it was meg that was wide or my waistline. Long doors don't help on 3 door. Plenty of room on 306. Amazing value on parts.

I am still an evo subscriber. From issue 2. Bought all my cars based on there reviews. Harry podcast is good makes I sound like the wildwest when he set it up. Just renewed subs they are going a year for £36. With an amazing a3 poster book. Like giant postcards. There is a clio Williams in...

The wheels used to be be pig to balance, look closely and you will see there is no hole in the middle only bolt holes. Remember some people had replicas made in 17 inch instead of 15. The looked cool as car looked std but difficult towork out why it looked better.

Memories. Had an identical w reg car. Came to it from an e30 m3 and p1 back in about 2003. Test drive a corrado vr6 and an integra type-R before buying the 306. My wife and even my mum thought I had lost my love of cars. That was when I first got in the internet on pay as you go dial up. As i...

Is that rear wheel arch easy to sort? I love the combo of the light interior and sunroof? Beautiful. Such an understated package. I cannot believe so many went for just black. Can't be long before all the 320d disappear and it becomes a rare shape like the e46 touring (see occasionally) but...

I kept warranty on mine too for the 4 years I had it. I did the same on my e92 M3. And it was 4 times more expensive. For what is actually a more reliable car. M tax!

Have you got the n52 or n53? Tricky game with bmw picking the right engine. Same with 335i. Sorry gave up posting pics when photobucket went sour, had bmw 269 wheels and a bmw performance exhaust. Sold with exhaust but I had not broke that in. Kept thd wheels and sold later current owner on...

They stopped building them in 2010. As every one must have bought 335i instead. Mine was a 2010. So one of the last n.a. straight 6 they made. N53 engine could be troublesome though. Space grey, pan roof, saddle brown leather, front park sensors, cornering headlights. Nice car.

Very nice, as a former 330i e91 lci manual owner. I know how difficult it is to find. I woulc have paid Strong money myself it was manual. And j am not even looking for a car! Well played.

I contacted the seller on the ly 182 when on pistonheads a few months back, he also sold a lower Mileage bg. It was up for £7250. I think it then dropped to £6750. It then dissapeared as you say and reappeared at a trader for £7500 on ebay, its not there now as you say. May have been sold or...

Saw it parked up. Interestingly there was a McLaren parked up round the corner in a car port.

When I talk about amount of miles. I wonder if this is also worsened by lots of short journey vs long runs. Where residual fuel will evaporate leaving gums on inlets & injectors.

Interesting the comments earlier about based fuel at supermarkets being a lower grade. First time I have heard a proper explanation for why its poorer. I did some stuff on this at Uni years ago. Not to the level the other Chap on her obviously. You could see the residue forming which was then...

I bought one year's ago when i had a smart car as no sump plug. Never used it on that car. Used on a couple of other cars to take 0.5 litre out when dealers over filled. Now use for interim 6 monthly oil change on my cars. Still has normal change at main service point.

Agreed I went to look at one. It was as close to new as you could get and it was 6 years old. With the level of refurb & prep I cannot understand how he makes any money. Only thing that stopped me was the wife had last minute jitters about selling her own car.

I have a set of 4 x 235 35 19 for sale. Excellent tread. Just took off my megane. For less than the price of 2 new ones. 5mm on 3 tyres and 4mm on the other. other think they come with 6mm. Just replaced with p4s couple of weeks ago. Michelin were doing a cash back scheme at the time. Not sure...

I know what you mean about nice place to be. I had saddle brown leather and a panoramic roof. It was a lovely environment.

The 330i is underrated. I looked to replace with a golf r but thought the interior was not as nice and if did not feel significantly faster stock. Similar story on 335i. But more torque mid and bottom but did not feel like top end that 330i gas. Looked at a couple of those also. Had to go m3...
