New car for Mrs B
- Thread starter Bing
- Start date
Mr Tidy said:Sad way to have to change cars but that looks like a nice sensible car with some choice goodies Bing, and it is certainly low mileage!
To be honest I'd avoid BMWs with the Efficient Dynamics - I had a 123d with stop/start. I can't help thinking that is probably why the stupidly expensive AGM battery died just after 4 years and 55K miles, followed by the starter motor at 6 years and 77K.I always turned it off after that!
As it's Mrs Bing's first RWD car, might a set of winters be worth getting for a few hundred quid? There are some on here just now.
Anyway I hope it serves you well.
Thanks Mr T - I have seen those wheels, and am tempted tbh. Not exactly the Christmas present she wants, but perhaps what she needs :lol:
North West Surrey

Yes, I wonder what that was
That 3 series does look like a nice car with decent mileage. If "he" can find your place :lol: , the paint stuff would look good as well. He did a good job on the Audi before that went.
If you do get snow over there, at least you can use the current set of wheels to put some winter rubber on. Transforms the car.

Indeed, I got a very very good deal... though there is a List of things I want to do when I get the chance. No rush, I’m not ever selling it.
Assuming he can find where we’re meeting, I’m seeing him Friday :lol:
Yeah, though I need to find somewhere to store 4 tyres or wheels if I do get winters ... and I just put 4 new non-winters on the M yesterday so my tyre fund is depleted
Bing said:Having driven the car a lot over the last 3 days the steering is honestly my only complaint. Which I reckon is not bad going given I’d never driven one before - I think we can live with it
Funny isn't it, everyone with a z4 wants to sack the electric steering off for hydraulic :lol:

:lol: the grass is not always greener... but they are very different cars of course.
Even weirder, my M has hydraulic steering, is a month younger than the 3er, but the Z’s steering is lighter and a lot more responsive. Must be M Division fettling.
