Just over 5 months later and car is much the same, made a few minor upgrades recently :
Replaced the retro tape deck with a business CD player from an 06 car which allows for aux mode and connection of an iPod cable :
And also replaced the old phone cradle in the centre console with a cup...
One of these :

We did this a couple of years ago as I have a company car but didn't want to lose my NCB - Elephant allow you to insure a car so long as the registered keeper was your spouse or partner. So I did that and gained another years NCB without losing what I'd previously built up.
Need to check...
That screen shot is the old weather app, but it has changed.
Before you would have to tap on the current day to get the hourly breakdown, now it's there to scroll with all the time. (You'll understand If you look :))
Im loving the new 5
Thanks :)
On bimmerforums and they offer the same discount too, just weighing up the best purchase so could well do something similar! It looks better than the off centred kits!
Weekend 'toy' it isn't - if we were buying a weekend toy it'd have been a 2 seater or something like another 182 but ruled that out as its too samey. But there comes a point in time where you go for something different and this had been on the wish list since before we moved house.
Could've...
No we need to address the audio and do some form of upgrade - contemplating an Alpine iPod unit but then quite like the OEM look. But the dynavin et al are lots of money!
My fav things are the heated seats, and the fact I have my own key that remembers my seat position, my mirror position, the temperature I had the climate set at and which radio station I was listening too.
Epic
Its a big comfy barge for wafting round, lazy auto suits the engine well. Sport mode for a bit more kickdown but tbh it cruises well enough in regular auto mode.
I'll rephrase... Higher miles but similar price / more than the last few that have sold, then to be listing things to replace! At £3750 it's better priced than it was listed at. Only need to look at Daves Trophy/Fletch's 172 to know that these things will go on and on if serviced regularly :)
So a year ago we sold our Liquid Yellow 182 as we were moving house and stretched our budget to get the ideal house. This meant compromises being made in a few areas and the Clio was an expensive toy that selling would contribute towards the 3% stamp duty the new house needed!
It was replaced...
Hope you paid considerably less than the asking price baring in mind high miles and the bits you've got to do...
Are the wheels black or anthracite?
Isnt the warning light coming on a symptom of low brake fluid? Have you checked the levels?
Why is everyone else finding lush cars, yet weve now been 2 weeks and havent found anything
1 car household FTL
Dave, sell us the golf? we'll give you £100 more than you paid? ;)
Looks lush... just a bit figity about a car with more than 100k on it, especially when the badge is BMW as i just think if it goes wrong its going to be £££££
I like it apart from:
Its black
Those wheels are nasty
I wish we could find an E46 coupe :( we have a list of wants and non of them include the word 'silver' which is what everything available seems to be at the moment
Id quite like this ...
What happens if you sell the car, can you change it from one vehicle to another?
Or do they just disable the old and you have to pay for a new one to be fitted?
Spotted at 2 different times, in 2 different counties, in the space of 12 hours!
Spotted last night (around 8pm) in Milton Keynes.. you joined the A5 and got off at the next junction..
Then you came up behind me on the A43 this morning (7.40am) in Brackley!
Very Random... proper **** of a...
"Why is that golf playing with me?"
Because I'm a cliosport member doing my normal daily commute in a diesel, you made it slightly more interesting for a short moment hehe
