On a serious note what tyres do you use? From my (albeit slightly limited experience) Pilot Sports give BMWs so much more ability.
the pilot sports are good thats what im running at the mo.....it did have falkens on it but personally i didn like them. one of the bonuses of the z3m coupes...
what about a z3m coupe....still a bm and pretty much as rare as the v6. i know there not great for going round corners but they do go sideways v v easily :) . just an idea...
i went to part ex my clio yesterday, but unfortunately they only offered me £4,700 for mine, i then took it to another place and they offered me £4,900.
its not by any means in bad condition, a few stone chips etc etc, but nothing you wouldnt really expect from a 4 year old car. so obviously...
dont know if anyone can help, i tried the search but it was'nt much use unfortunately!!!
does anyone have any scale drawings of the 182 like the size of the body panels or anything like that?
anything will be useful to be honest, i looked through the manual and again not much help in...
27.4 mpg, for me, consists of motorway driving occasional slow town driving but alot of driving around Milton Keynes which is not very good for mpg. so i would imagine low to mid 30's
it was a good turn out to the last meet, look out for me i do circa 20,000 miles a year in me black 182. always looking for someone to wave to. :rasp:
o ye my number plate is X4 JMK
happens on my 182 from time to time, but like a few others have said normally when the engines turned off then back on again the lights all go out. (Ps i have previously had 9 lights on the dash looked very festive):)
we had this issue with our compnay car policy when i bought a clio 182 to go on the fleet, the reason they wouldnt insure it was because it was not on there list of cars. ie they had bmw's mercs, ford's etc u get my point, but would not insure cars such as clio sports, caterhams, westfields and...
like Steve said i have a feeling that this idea (although v gd) may fall flat on its face id be willing to travel like 3-4 hrs if we get enough people commiting like mikey said could make a good weekend out of it.
ha, mine does that as well, first few bars go in like 10 mins then it really slows down but unlike yours the last 2 bars dissapear in 10 mins as well really annoying.:mad:
mine hasnt got the cup packs, still handles well, finally drove one with the cup packs 2 days ago there is a difference but not huge imo. im getting some Eibach springs for mine which should make it handle better and there not overly expensive. in regards to looks ......meh personal preference i...
mine idles quite poor as well!!!! especially with the AC on.lot of people seem to have this problem. apparently running it on higher octane petrol cures it to an extent but personally i cant be bothered/cant comment because i have never tried it.
as we all know the rubber and the 'leather' on the steering wheels more often than not start to flake etc. mines just starting to do it after 36000 miles. i no so many things have been written about this problem....
but does anyone know of a good quailty/fit steering wheel cover available. any...
ye think i may have to invest in coilovers at some point. my clio still gives me 10 times the confidence that im not gonna end up in a hedge backwards unlike me bmw m coupe. :)
