Have you decided if you're replacing it ?

Fair play they do go really well don't they! What is it about them that you don't like?

surely they didn't just offer you a 76k car for 59k.

If you had 59k could you walk in a buy that or is that a reduced price subject to a % APR on a PCP.

Subject to it being on a PCP with a 4.9% APR.

In the same way I got £10k off the 335d.

It's more of a tool than a car, if anything its too good at everything, there is very little character.

Just get rid of it for an M135i

Little bit more character, not much though lol.

BIGASH · Jul 1, 2014

What is it with the new BM’s and no character? I’ve just swapped to an F11 535D from my E92 and its an amazing car at doing everything other than being engaging

Think its just modern cars in general to be honest, very good at being insulated from the world (i love the F10/F11, great choice!!), but that leaves you feeling a little cold from a driving perspective. Having tried some Audi/Mercedes recently however, the BMW's are still ALOT better than they are lol.

I have an SQ5 for the day on thursday. I do not have high hopes...

Ben10 · Jul 1, 2014

Gorgeous beemer although I do have a soft spot for the Macan's

Herr Flick · Jul 1, 2014

I'd love an SQ5.

Would make a nice family cruiser wouldn't it.

Herr Flick · Jul 1, 2014

Yup. Saw a grey one earlier and it looked awesome. Quite nippy too aren't they?

Waitey · Jul 1, 2014

310bhp diesel. 5.1 to 62.

I'll let you know how I get on with it on Thursday.

LukeC · Jul 1, 2014

Great car, can't say I love them though just your normal outside lane car

Ian_182 · Jul 1, 2014

My dad has a Q3 and that's really nice at what it does.

TBH i'd be really tempted by the 640D,theres a levely estoril blue type of coloured one near me and its stunning.Yours,although its lovely looks like a grey 3 series.Just like every other grey 3 series.

Why are you borrowing one? Can't you just stop f**king about and get an RS6?

Munson · Jul 1, 2014

TBH you change cars more often than Toby talks about his finances and then complains when people talk about his finances.

You'd be bored of a P1 within six months, so what difference does it make what you buy? Stick a pin in the classifieds. Lol

Waitey · Jul 1, 2014

Rich... Why not haha

Roy, true, I hate liking cars.

I bet the running costs are eye watering. Awesome cars though. Seen the video of one smashing a litre bike on the autobahn? Silly quick.

Waitey · Jul 1, 2014

I'd love one. Just not for my mileage...

Herr Flick · Jul 1, 2014

Pussy... You are.

Yes very true! Thanks it was a choice rushed on me over the weekend when my other half wrote off the E92

Yes fully agree with you from recent experience so I didn’t even bother looking at the others

I’m sure it could be arranged it certainly drifts better than the last one

Your E92 was lovely! Any pics of the damage?

Or pics of the 535d!!! I want one next lol.

JD · Jul 2, 2014

I don't understand the complications here. You bought some fun cars to run alongside the Alfa, so do that with a lower cost Beemer? You're trying to get an everyday work horse to be something fun and exciting. The 335d does what it does well. If you want soul, by something stupid again, like a Trevor.

Any decisions been made Waitey?

Waitey · Jul 28, 2014

Still have the 335d....

Even if I got caught doing 93 in a 70 in it allegedly.

What happened? Boss pull you for it?

Waitey · Dec 3, 2014

25k done in 9 months. Averaging 44.1mpg. Still fast as f**k too.

Only worth £30k now though lol. In £4k negative equity.

Short Norman · Dec 3, 2014

just looked at you OP regarding the original figures. How hard did you have to work to get that discount off list price? What discount did they offer as a starter.

They offered 5% discount first. In the end it took playing 6 dealers off each other to get the 19% I got. I could have pushed to 21% but it wasn't worth the extra effort!

25k in 9 months. That's some going.
