That killed it, broke an engine mount and moved the gear box back.
Only had 2nd and 4th, couldnt even cope with a 30mph crash

have to agree the interior is nice on the A4 but a bit too fussy but thats personal opinion
I think both A4's and 3 series are far too common lol

Yeah...tbh this German build quality thing is not as good as it used to be. My heated rear window doesn't work so its going in next week.
But what makes up for it is the way you/your car are treated like royalty when you either go into a dealership or ring up.

I got a free leather oil bag, gloves, funnels, wipes for buying some stuff from a dealer, you would never get freebees for ford/vauxhall etc.

i like bmw's and i'd probably get one hadn't insurance been so high on them. they are also very very common around my way which makes them a bit boring really.
prefer something a bit different.

i'd like one but iirc i got an insurance quote from elephant of something like 1600 quid for a 325 or 330, can't remember which.
LCR was 1200 quid and i've seen 2 in about 6 months around here

yeah, better then nothing  i also got free side skirts that automatically come apart so thieves can steal them easily.
in other words, they weren't bonded on properly and start falling off

True. The dealers are better at BMW & Audi etc. BUT you have paid the extra for it in the price.
At the Vauxhall dealer here it's hard to get a courtesy car off them and they were wanting me to pay for the insurance to drive it, only a 1.2 Corsa D too  Piss take. Whereas Audi don't think twice about dishing about 30k+ cars to me and provide the insurance free of charge. Thats the way it should be.

That's mainly because everything costs more, it goes into slimier salesmen and paying the insurance for the courtesy cars, that's obvioulsy what the people who buy them want though.
And just for Jim, a green M reg corrado is at this second sitting outside my work.
You stuck the price bit in while I was replying

E46 M3 is one of my all time favourite cars. It looks like a BMW should and it's got the right engine in it for an M3. Love 'em

E46 M3's don't do very much for me. Probably because I find the exhaust noise is quite muted A CSL rock's my socks though.

true about the missus part  but it can't be that dodgy with all the new audi's/beemer's going about, unless they're all drug dealers, in which case, i might join them seeing as it pays to be in that business

Got to get the cab then. Roof down flat out and the noise is just  Think I'd prefer a coupé lowered with CSL wheels though.
