ii have a nasty link in me exhaust which is causing the car to run badly,
so i ring up extreme and ask em if they can cut out my pipe and weld a new bit, the bloke goes what car is it, so i go bmw 325..... to which he replies, sorry i can't do n e thing on bmw 325s
WTF what a num skull, how the hell is my exhaust cutting a rewelding job different to a saxo/corsa etc, the prat specifically said i can't do n e thing on bmw 325s, not bmw, but my particular one.
glad i didn't book it in there since thery obviously ain't got a clue 
rant over

alrite novagte, still ain't sold yours :O bloody hell lad not having much luck!
insuarance didn't change from the corsa for some reason  but its due up this month., im looking at paying a grand fully comp (21 yr old with hopefully 4 yers NCB)
MPG is terrible! best i get is 25MPG, worst i've got 15MPG
still it might have something to do with me biggered exhaust and the buggered lambda sensor!

Nah still not sold it, not even had anyone out to look at it
Was thinking of gettin the 328 sport but don't reckon i can cope with that sort of MPG! Will have to be the 318is Sport then
They are lovely cars to drive tho, aren't they

im not happy with xtreme, fair enuff if they couldn't fit me but to come out with some crap about not being able to work on bmw 325s is absolute wank
Novagte - 328 sports are the best! they've got the kit and that on em, just make sure you get one without the nikasil issues new engine needed if does
people on the BM forums like the 328is and their fuel aint that bad on em, same as mine, for £40 i get about 240-260 miles of mixed driving.
i know when it does a motorway run (im gonna do a proper one at the weekend) it should return 400 miles to £40
the 328 engine is far superior when out on the road compared to the 325, even though there is only 1bhp diff, so muhc more torque and there's alot of relatively cheap tuning stuff you can do to the 325/328 to get another 20-30 brake outa em, plus the parts you swap are nearly undetectable to insuracne companies 
i've been learning

Don't ever get Xtreme to do anything, they are useless.

That quick eh? Took them a day and a half to do my 19's. didnt have the right tools. The blokes in the workshop are muppets, had many a problem, ie fitting an induction kit on my old corsa C, they took out an engine mount to do it and didnt replace it In general the blokes in the showroom are top blokes and always giving me good deals.
