Paid a visit to the BMW import centre over on the east coast when I was at Uni. You should have seen the speeds (and apparent disregard) with the unloading of Beemers from the ship. Brand new M3s with scallies at the wheel....... yikes... Oh, and my car had 7 miles on the clock when I picked...

I like the bit...... Give it a go! - If you dont like it - Send it back - Nothing to lose! (....apart from a knackered engine)

79.9p is still what I aim for. Some theiving stations charge 83-84p for the same stuff. When you equate that to 30-40 litres to fill up, several times a month, its quite a saving... D.

Each to their own I suppose. I guess you could treat it with kid gloves and it would still go with a bang while others may last ages whilst regularly getting ragged. Chris - is your occasional blat mentality from your days with the R5 GTt? A blast "every now and then" worked fine for me too...

Tyres, road surface, outside temperature, drivers reaction times, changing gears at the optimum time, etc. Auto Express were quoting possible low 6s for a 182 Cup - again, if the conditions were...

Cliopower - hell have a hard job to check his spare tyre in a 182 - they dont have one! ;) D.

Topper - have you any prices yet on a replacement Exalto? I cant imagine that theyll be cheap..... :( D.

When I was washing my car the other day, I noticed a strip of adhesive backing left on the drivers cill. Obviously, it was where a protective film was placed during manufacture/shipping of it, but has anyone got some decent ideas of what will shift it? I was tempted to use some of that tar...

Pretty good review I thought - crap driving position, some of the flaky finishes (especially in the boot area) but thats not what the 182 is about, is it? And the fact that it kicked the Alfa 147GTAs lap time into touch, give some indication of how good a handler it is......... even if it does...
