To be honest mr ess even with 4x4 a BMW won't move in the snow, just a warning they are all crap in the snow...

But better in the wet ( bar maybe an r32 or r )  and dry...and that's science and you can't argue with science it science!

That thing that golfs do when they wheel spin in first when the shocks bang and crash and bounce is very embarrassing and scary the first time it does it.
I don't believe in global warming, sorry.

I dislike lorry drivers who block lanes in traffic.

Yeah that banging noise is bad, my old A3 did it too and I hated it.

problem with BMW is everything is an extra.

no one will buy a basic price version, by the time you add a few bells and whistles it will be closer to £30k



i got taken out in PDT's demo car 135i coupe and it was quick and stuck like sh!t on a mattress with the bilstein B12 kit fitted.

I've just looked on the BMW website and it states that the M135 comes with Xenon's and leather as standard!!

It's now so appealing I've spoken to my local dealer......

Do it jimmy, do it!

Get rid of the run flats and chip the b!tch, they chip to about 360bhp with a lovely straight biturbo power curve. Rear wheel drive go on son do it!

You will have to treat the throttle with respect or it will send you into a delightfull power slide. It's not as "fun" as the gti if that's what you like but way more driver focused and serious. Proper car you'll love it.

Oh and test drive the harmon kardon wireless, it's the bomb in a 3 series.

Shame you won't be able to use it when it's snowy, better keep the GTI as a winter car  :laugh:

I can live without the car for a few days of the year, the benefits far outweigh the downside i think.

Yeah altough a few years ago I had an MR2 Turbo without traction control or stability control and lost it round a big round about whilst thinking that I was good at power slides - I was not!!!
