Hmmm, Theres just something about the BMW's that are so nice. Granted they have an awful interior design for features & Tech. But the outside of them look & sound amazing.

Inherited it from my old man when he retired 3 years ago. Worked there every day when I was at school from 4-6:30. So know the ropes pretty well and I didn't really have to change much when I took over an already successful business haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Some BM's even come with indicators, go for one that's got them, you'll be a novelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you'd be better with a remote control car so you can look at it as you drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 This thread has just confirmed I am old. If I was getting a new car I want all the toys, sat nav, cruise control, heated front window and mirrors, great seat, privacy glass and anything else. Not bothered about MPH more about MPG low tax and insurance. 30+ years motoring nothing has convinced me more power gets you there any quicker, just increases the risk you wont get there. Bit bah humbug, but at 20 I was driving a 4x4 Cosworth, so I appreciate Ramspoll dilemma. Personally I would not have either. Go for the jag.

But the performance is second to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 @RamsPolls have you looked at the insurance yet for either of these cars you're looking at? Something tells me it won't come cheap for a 20 year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think about these things as well, But nowadays, I decent car normally has these things on the basic spec. Especially when I would be paying £55,000 for one, I would expect it to come with stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me it won't come cheap for a 20 year old Yeah. My Golf currently costs my business around £85 p/m. The BMW M3 would put that up to £95 p/m on the same policy. But my policy allows me to drive any car with the owners permission & any car that my business buys/leases. Because I have 6 cars under my business for my staff members. So if needed I can borrow one of theirs on my current policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Out of the two I'd have the BMW every day of the week. A mate of mine has a M powered 4 series and once it's in Sport mode the acceleration is insane. I've never been a fan of Mercs, they look dated very quickly, plus the build quality is nowhere near as good as BMW or Audi. Personally, if I had £55k to spend, I'd get a Jag XF or Audi RS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky boy, I tried to add my 18 yr old on my insurance and they wanted 3k extra for the privilege. Seeing as insurance is no obstacle, go for the most insanely fast one you can get!

It is all down to them. I'll be forever grateful for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
