Its been exactly year to this since I Bought AUC //MR. I had been looking to upgrade from 2.5i to 3.0si for a few weeks but because of the economical meltdown I was losing a lot of money on my car. Got here after reading r/ws and a test drive later I bought the M. I could not believe the difference in the feel between the 3.0si and the M. In a short test drive fortunately which I managed with the same dealer.
The 3.0si didnt feel right, i wasnt connected with it and didnt feel like I wanted to buy it. To be fair to 3.0si I drove it first. Then the M- different story all together. What a beast. I put a deposit and bought it.
I have done 10k in a year- more top down then up. I use it everyday. A trip to the continent, several trips to the lakes, brecon valley, the dales. I still have the same feeling since day 1. What an awesome car. I still smile when I unlock the car and always look back after parking it. I havent tracked it and not sure whether I want to. Plenty of A roads and what a pleasure. I have done a few 0.60mph runs(on a private road) and seriously its fast best was 4.8secs.
Costs so far: 2 rear tyres(conti sport), Insp 1, oil top ups, recently thanks to you guys I went to see Peter at autotech in telford for keycdes. also did a CDV delete, Honestly since its been snowing and icy roads, I've been ever so careful so I cant make out a difference yet.
MODS: Blackened grills, CDV. Future- looking to install a audio jack for mp3.
Honestly guys this is one car I've felt like keeping it for a long time. I've had sever FWD and RWD before this but this is the first. I've been to look at the new Z4 and somehow I'm nto convinced yet. The looks have been growing on me and I feel it will be a downgrade rather than an upgrade. I love ragtops to tintops anyday.
I must thank you guys for all your help with simple things. I definitely have saved a lot of money and also learnt a lot from you guys. Planning a trip to Le mans, probably ring next year not sure yet.
