If you are struggling with insurance prey it doesn't need tyres or an inspection service

I'm not struggling. My payrise in Oct will cover the finance alone..

As you say jambo I need to keep a tad aside incase something goes wrong etc.. I can own the car comfortably... Its just the cash id usually spend on the imp

I don't have a huge amount of pocket money to waste each month like some on here but im comfortable because I never go out

Tried Admiral and adding parents/older friends as named drivers if they have good history? Although being an M3 they may not quote at all.

Get some LED rears

If it's like DSG (pretty sure it is) Will have normal auto, sport auto and then 'manual' for the paddles.

There nothing like a DSG you can't compare the 2

Try need to insure with a mileage limit of say 5K a year, They beat a very good Flux quote for me, by £200.

They both have automatic and manual shift modes as I was stating?

Internally they are very different I agree with the DSG apparently being better in all ways other than you can't skip gears.

Spraying the wheels anthracite and as already mentioned fitting some LED rear clusters will set that off nicely.

Seems a pretty good price given that its only covered 80k
