Maybe.

I really like it and I think it's a good choice, however, I can't help but feel you've moved from a flagship car to a fast "normal" car. Were you not tempted more by something with a proper badge? ?

Give us some pics then Mark, jesus.

I can’t believe you’re actually getting rid. Mental

Ouch. Not ideal Bloody good buy though

Audio, nav, climate and service timings, oil level etc?

BMW's do not look good without iDrive! Because if they haven't got it, they've not got a s**t load of functionality. So pov is not a good look.

Interesting. My biggest bug bear with BMW's is that they have their weird time frame where they will do calls via bluetooth but no audio. Mental. Keep this well updated.

Errrrrr, what did I miss? Why are you changing the dash?

Welcome. Air con is normally a simple fix. What’s wrong with it? Needs some better wheels mind you.

You’re not serious?

Yes.

I guess it's just horses for courses. I prefer the apple OS, and simplicity of it all. I could have stuck with my iphone 7 and been paying peanuts, but new things are fun.

How much is your phone cost per month and what is it out of curiosity?

But I'd bet I use it more than you use your car... people just have weird fixations on old prices. Like "phones used to be £20 a month". Yes, but the phone is now 20x better, and you use 100x more data. As I said, it (for 90% of people) is the single most used item you own. It's my camera...

This makes me laugh. Honestly. It's probably the single most used device in all of our lives and people stew over £10 or £20 a month. That's four pints of beer, or one dominos pizza. I used my 7 for 2 years, and went an got a XS. So what if it's £75 a month? That's less than I pay in vehicle tax.

Looks great in that last photo!

Or just keep going and see how many engines you can get ford to fit to one car? At the very least with this current issue I’d be looking for extended warranty agreements. Have you discussed this?

A colleague of mine has recently got one that’s £50 a year and is apparently cracking. That may suit me better

Now now! I’m sure it’s fine!

EFA, but I applaud your bravery. ?

If you're still in the SE and want a hand with anything, I'd pitch in some man hours.. I'm interested to see how this turns out.

I'm sorry I can't help, but is it Ian? Or Ruth? Or just Ruth at the weekends?

I'm still always tempted to get this up and running again, but just reading the above, all the faff, it just doesn't seem worth it.

I'm not sure how I've completely missed this, but amazing work Mark! Looks superb!

As if you saw all that and still bought the f**king thing!

Definitely getting old mate. I see what you're trying to do, but they're not old enough to be classic, so it will just feels a bit.. old. The tech side of things will let it down heavily from that respect. Take singer, everyone creams themselves over the old dials etc, but on an old clio, is...

I'm passengering in the scare-bus ^^

£3,540 (the 540 is to cover the coilover cost) ?

How did you find this so cheap Dave? I’ve been looking for similar to replace the 6 with and everything half decent is 7k odd
