So it's nice weather and the jag hadn't been out for a long time so thought I'd use it over the next few days in the sun.
First off cleaned the M3 on Friday after work, comes up so well, really struggling to sell it! Then the jag had a quick rinse and a few miles today, before swapping onto the...
£1000 for hostels & Air BB's
£500 for fuel (ended up a bit more)
£500 for car insurance & tax
£350 for train and breakdown cover
£250 for tolls & vignettes
Then food and beer money. Could have spent double if we weren't watching money so much.
So last year me and my best mate decided we would do a trip around Europe and see as much as we possibly could, managed to force my boss into letting me have 3 weeks off and then it went from there.
I really wanted to do it in my M3 but was a little put off letting my mate drive it as he'd not...
Afraid not mate, mines a 61 plate on 5750 miles.
You're like a better version of me, fast BMW car & bike haha!
Love the motorsport colours, was my preference but they are pretty rare in grey and is immaculate in fairness.
Any tips for the bike?
I only work 4 miles from work so it's horrific through the week, and to be honest anytime it's warm it gets some right foot which is why the tyres have only lasted 4k on the rear.
M5 sounds awesome, would love one but way out of my budget at the minute, follow a black one to work the odd time...
I bought from a main dealer so bet it's not far off when you get a realistic sale price.
@Sir_Dave that was pretty much 75mph on the cruise and then 50mph at the roadworks. Reset it since I filled up last night and it's back to 15.6mpg!
As said above they are brutal if you get your toe down. Can easily be embarrassed by lesser cars if you're not up in the revs or get caught off guard but keeping it up high it's mental.
I've had a few plays with a C63 & an RS5 and there's pretty much nothing between them at all.
As @Sir_Dave...
So I've had the car for 6 months now, thought a quick clean and a thread might be worthwhile.
I've done about 3700 miles, used in the region of £1100 worth of fuel, 1 set of rear tyres, £7k worth of warranty work, probably lost a couple of grand in depreciation.
So last week I went for a long...
My twin! I swear one guy bought 2 cars exactly the same, mines a 58 with exactly the same spec!
And I'll have less gangster wheels next month!
Be interested to see what you get MPG wise, mines hanging around 16-17 at the minute, but with the 2 pipe mod it's hard to get above that!
I feel bad...
For me I'd go illuminated, when I swapped to Clubsport in my E46 I missed it lighting up, I think it's a cool feature. Went for the F10 M5 one in my E90, they look and feel so much better.
