Would love a snarling 740iL! But for now I'm limited to the 2.8, but from what I've hear it's a fairly solid engine! I really hope to get one by November next year!
A little bit random guys, but what is a 728i like to live with? i.e running costs, road tax etc. What sort of fuel returns are you seeing? Looking at one for next year! Failing that, I'll keep my 318iS!
I drove my car in the snow last year and it was terrible - but that's not to say I didn't enjoy it! As my fellow Lutonian said, it isn't what you drive it's how you drive it. My traction control doesn't work, so it's stuck off but it didn't feel too twitchy - it felt the same as a FWD car on ice anyway. Ice is slippery - fact. Got my car's snow boots to help me too! Nice and skinny BMW Bottle Top wheels!
Go for it! If not, make a box plate - motorbike sized plate from Halfords - and stick it to one side of the bumper rather than the middle like that American white M3 with the green BBS?
It's a good look! The police are never very happy to see it, but it's a cool look nonetheless! Though I do run the plate on a day to day albeit a bit...weird...
It's about 50mm all around mate, need the rear arches rolled at some point then hopefully lower it a smidgen more. Good choice on getting some coilovers mate, with a new engine atleast you can balance your car better to ease off the weight in the front through adjusting the suspension
How's it goin' guys? Well the past few months have been a bit busy, and only recently have I put my new wheels on my car after a change of tyres, so here they are!
Oh no mate! This guy was actually a proper sound bloke! Basically my Dad's on some premier account with his bank which means breakdowns are sorted on the road, or the car is transported to a garage that can sort it or is taken home. So when it was ME that broke down, I rang Dad to ask him to come and rescue me... the AA man came and clearly saw that I was the one behind the wheel of my car (the policy states that the account holder has to be driving) but he overlooked it and continued to assist me on the road side in the !Removed! rain! So when he reassuringly told me it was just some bolt which he claimed only costs pennies whilst advising me to get a proper fix on it a.s.a.p (he even said I could do it at home!) he sounded like a genuine bloke who just wanted to help us out! Hence why i respect his judgment and what not - kudos to the guy! Just a shame the garage was packed today so they couldn't even get my car on the ramps...
