I’m creeping back!

Post by Angie4m » Mon May 15, 2023 8:25 pm

Hello all,

I see there are still some of the old gang still kicking around. Those who recall me know that I sold the E89 and bought a F82 M4….I sold that during the pandemic and bought myself an i8. Love it, its been great but its also becoming a bit of a money pit. Been looking at the G28 for a wee while and I’m currently looking at getting back into a M40i.

So hello to everyone new and old :thumbsup:

Thank you Ron, hope you’re still loving that 35is.

Hey John! Nice to see you are still around and in a G29 now. M40i?

I see you are the shy and retiring type. Just like me too! :lol:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

It is the only way to be. Should really update my signature as I don’t have anything on that list anymore :rofl:

:rofl: Seems to be a thing, always come back to them eventually. Notice you’ve got a ID.3 - how are you finding it? My Mum just got one and I’m not sure if its been with her or the garage more :o

I got the Tour Pro S model, obsolete before it was even delivered after two years order wait list. It has all the extras and is the 4 seater model as it has the extended battery.

So far so good, only done 500 miles in it but drives very well and no problems at all. It is getting the ppf treatment this week.

What problems does your mum have with hers?

Oh welcome back Angie, thank goodness, it’s about time I had some backup against this lot of rapscallions and reprobates. The M40i is pretty damn fine and I love mine :thumbsup:

Glad to hear it’s all gone smoothly. She’s had issues with the rear lights, they were replaced a week after she got it. Last week the alarm kept going off, turns out the 12v battery was dead, weirdly! So that’s been replaced. The rear wiper packed in…after 3 days they decided to try replacing the motor and it worked.

Then they booked her in for an update…..6th December for a week is what they’ve given her. I thought that was a joke but sadly no.

So glad to see you are still around and you’ve upgraded, big time! Not that was there was anything wrong with the previous E85 but that is a lovely looking thing.

:lol: Glad to be back. Some things never change. I had been toying with the idea all day but I’ve actually decided it is the best option to just move on and get back into a Z4. Love reading all the threads on the G29 already.

I would have bought a 20i cause my local dealer has the Thundernight in stock in the showroom but the lad who emailed me clearly doesn’t want the business.
