Re: Anyone on here used to have a BMW?

Hi, I have owned a 320d M sport and drive a 530 touring for work. My wife wanted a 1 series but after the 320 I would not have another BM. The thing I dislike most are the run flat tyres. Very harsh ride on country roads, they 'track' any road imperfections and generaly get on my nerves. I havent dr...

Re: It arrived....but!

Sorry to hear about the damage but at least the dealer had the decency to admit it. I had an A4 delivered a while back with paint damage and the dealer tried to pull a fast one. I'm afraid I also have to disagree on the BMW comment. BMW without a doubt have the edge on build/feel quality but are le...

Re: Deep Black CR140 Delivered

Looks great, it will be fun keeping that shine in this weather. The mats I got are top quality, embossed with the word Scirocco, guess i was lucky. I would be interested to hear how you get on with changing the speakers, and with the Bluefin. I am thinking about both of these. I have to say though, ...

Re: Good Deal?

Good to hear you got a deal. I think that if you are willing to wait, as you seem to be, the advantage is with you. I bought a car that was in stook in the showroom and i knew that if I didnt by it there were three others waiting for my decision. However I still got mats sensors and a tank of fuel, ...

Re: Is it Possible to get a discount off a Roc?

I think it simply depends what you want and when you want it. I was in the market for a car right now. My PX price had gone up £750 since June, the PX car was due a £300 service within 200 miles and the dealer had the right car in the showroom ready to go. I paid book price, but I got free reversing...

Very new and very pleased.

Hi all, been reading this forum for a while and trying to find the right car. Monday went to local dealer and they had a TDI GT in the right colour, (Candy White) sitting in the showroom brand new and unused. Spoke to the salesman, he explained that it had been ordered but the buyer had backed out, ...
