It's that world famous that it's been neglected to buggery... Did he actually get £700 for it? Seems a bit steep really, considering its condition. I'm not sure many would care of it's history to pay a premium for it either.

Oh hell no!

It's a lease so it's agreed from the off that you do not own the car and will never own the car, unless you receive the option to purchase at the end, which is not always offered. You build up no equity in the car whatsoever. You provide an initial up-front payment, followed by X monthly...

It's getting rave reviews already. Apparently, better than a Golf GTI, accordingly to Steve Sutcliffe. I really like it. The issue will be the potential lack of decent lease/PCP deals on them, compared to the usual VAG products. This may be a great car but the public needs a good incentive to be...

Looks nice. I'll give it a month before you start getting DPF and/or EGR issues and end up selling for another petrol car that is performance-orientated ;)

I can understand that it's frustrating but surely it's the risk you take going into something like this? Ironically, i bet he got more pissed off later on when he had to try and fetch his helmet back or pay for a new one!

I saw the cheap leases on these but it was way too early for me to order something else. Same with the cheap Leon Cupra 290 deals they had going. It's always the bloody wrong time with me! I'm keeping my eyes peeled for any more of these or the Cupra 300's on decent offers. My mate's just got a...

I dunno, i just prefer the way the Clubsport looks. It's still subtly different to a standard GTI but enough for me to feel like i stand out of the crowd a bit more. I actually ordered a MK7 GTI but had to cancel due to a sudden change of circumstances. I was gutted but the deal was crap anyway...

Do you ever knock it into neutral when still rolling slowly to a halt? I know it's generally frowned upon/illegal but it'll only ever catch you out if you do this. If you don't then it'll never be a problem. It can be hard to explain. I'd say that @cs_rich explained it well above but if you've...

All depends on the car i think. I had use of a 2016 BMW 118i M Sport for a bout 2-3 weeks and the stop/start technology in that was awful. It was really rough and violent when shutting off and restarting. Not particularly pleasant However, my current A4 is much better. You can barely tell when...

As our American friends would say; Wagon Goalz!

These are so much more appealing than the new 718 Boxster. I'm really not sure i could have a 4-cylinder Porsche. That 6-cylinder rasp is a huge part of the ownership proposition for me. @Short Legs The issue with the 997's are in fact the potential problems. My old man recently bought one but...

This is 100% on the "to-own" list one day. For me, it's the best shape M3 they ever made. That V8 sound aswell is glorious. The colour really suits it too. I like anything that's not the usual diesel-rep shades so it's nice to see a red one.

That's quite the impressive collection of cars there! Sad to see the Clubsport S go but onwards and upwards eh? As an all-rounder, i think i'd much prefer to have the normal Clubsport. I'm not too keen on the R's either, they just seem a bit too blingy and i hate all that chrome. Impressive...

My sentiments exactly. Hope it serves you well!

The 4 Series in general is an expensive car. It doesn't surprise me that, when they chuck the engine from the M140i in there, they reflect it in the price accordingly. It's still a quick car though, regardless. Also, BMW can and will do generous discounts on cars as such as these, so you'd...

The M135i was also a bargain when it first came out. I'm not sure what the prices are now on the M135i LCI/M140i but it's alot of car for the money, either way.

I mean exciting is subjective and means different things to different people. You'd really have to drive one to make that kind of judgement. I will say that all German cars that i've driven have all feel very similar and clinical, so i do see where you're coming from there.

5.4 seconds to 62 from a big, heavy coupe is not that quick?

All the car you'll ever need, with a ridiculous engine to go with it. Seriously though, a V10 in an estate car. We'll probably never see that again from BMW. Awesome machine!

As a direct comparison, fair enough. In any regard though, a 440i is definitely not slow.

Nice little car history there. I absolutely love the Clubsport Golf GTI's. So much better than the standard ones and the usual crop of Golf R's.

I love the colour on that. It's even better that it's free! Looks BMW Individual to me. Much better than the usual boring free paint choices i.e. Black, white, grey, silver, etc.

Slow?

Sounds like one of them toilet block products!

Looks gorgeous IMO. What a name for a colour too.

There's definitely some bargains to be had out there. It looks like a really nice example, that. Be prepared to potentially keep it much longer than anticipated though ;)

PH1 172's, 172 Cup's and 182 Trophy's. All 3 are starting to command a hefty premium over the normal variants. I can't see 172 Exclusive's going the same way. That low mileage one up for 10k is ridiculous, seeing as you can get a decent 182 Trophy for less than that. That seller is clearly...

What colour's that mark? I assume it's BMW individual paint? I'll take a punt and say Atlantis Blue. It looks similar to the colour you can get on the M2.

The best test drive i've ever had was in a MK7 Fiesta ST. It was only about 20 minutes but that's all i needed. I really wanted one there and then as soon as we got back to the dealership. In fact, just stepping into the car, before setting off, felt special. I think it was an ST-3 so had all...
