BMW 320D

Strange title I know for a Roc site, but I just had to post after having a go in a mates 320D. First of all the layout is just so dated, I mean I came from a Alfa Romeo Brera which was like siting in a Milano coffee bar and I got a shock how spartan the Roc looked. But compared with the BMW it looks...

OMG I'm going to die

Had my 2.0 TSI GT for about 7 months now and never really pushed it so to speak, the Roc is a allot different from a Smart Roadster! Anyway late for an important meeting last week had about 30 minutes to drive 33 miles on A roads and although going fast on the straights I always took it easy on the ...

Re: Car Magazine - Scirocco Long Termer

Ha! nail on the head for me I've always bought something different as seen by my prior car purchases (Smart Roadster), (Alfa Romeo Brera), (Alfa Romeo 147), (Alfa Romeo 156). Those wanting genuine character (whatever that is), the sort of people who don’t follow the crowd, who put Alfa Romeo on thei...

Re: What Colour?

I didn't get a chance to pick as i bought it off the forecourt, it's deep black which I hate as the bloody thing never looks clean. If I had the choice it would have been white as I've seen a few now and they look the business

Re: finally some smear free wiper joy!

Got mine in March and had the dreaded smear for a few months then it went away during the winter. I assumed it was some kind of coating on the windscreen which has worn off over the months. I normally use neat screenwash in the winter the pre-mixed stuff from Asda and in the summer just use a squirt...

Re: Near Death Experience not a good way to start the day

God must have been looking out for you I think, if you had been driving a Vauxhall you might not have been writing this thread :)

Like some of the replies have said it's only a car but nonetheless it's the shock that takes the time to get over.

Re: What Model? v2.0

This is my second car with a semi auto transmission and I have to say I really like the DSG, changing up and down just takes a fraction of a second and if you want to overtake it just a gentle poke on the gas and the box responds instantly. The only think that does annoy me with it is is long slow b...

Re: No need to be alarmed...

Does it actually make much difference to your premium having another alarm over and above the factory fitted system? I mean lets face it nowadays it's almost impossible to hotwire cars which is why thieves are resorting to nicking your keys. For info I'm a 50 year old driver, keep the car on the dri...
