Buying of 2nd 1 series

Hi Kris, did you manage to go and take a look at the car in question?

No not yet, Im not 100% on it at the moment as those stretched tyres on 19s wont work for me, so that's nearly £500 I have spend on the car before I have even had it 5 minutes

Good point, perhaps better to find one that's 100% right in the first place?

That's what I'm thinking, I'm also a little worried about the light conversion as if that's done wrong you can blow the light module which is about £400 to replace and needs a BMW person to tell the car it can use it.

Which as I want to rip that god awful head unit out, could cause me headaches.....it does make me wonder why I want another BM  

[E46King]

Haha, you're buying another one because you love the driving experience right?

[KrisThomson]

This is true, I just hate the poor technology level and unwillingness to allow for owner based mods to them 😂

[E46King]

Well, yes you're right but they're certainly not the only manufacturer that's like that 

[KrisThomson]

Very true, its a pain that manufacturers feel the need to stop us from making changes and in many cases far better than they could/have done more so when it comes to I.C.E

It's the same thing when it comes to sat nav units. I hear so many times about people saying either their phone or a £60 garmin is better than their £1200 built in nav. Silly really!
