Personally I wouldn't get a 318i. They are so underpowered that they aren't great on fuel. Generally the BMW 6 cylinders are the ones to go for. 320i and up. Have you thought about a 330d or 325d? If your doing alot of miles they are great. What about an odd choice like Clio 182 or E38 728i or maybe a Golf gti/tdi?

is that not an SL?

Are you our Scotland go to guy for wrapping then?

I like to listen to my engine and that's the whole reason I wouldn't buy one. A sports far should sound sexy, not rough like a van Sounds alright to me.

Ive got a triptronic, I think its great as generally im going or coming to work. But when the feeling takes me sport sharpens it up or triptronic is great on the b roads. I actually hate driving manuals now and my next car would probably be auto too.

Diesels are great for commuting not just because of their economy but the torque makes them quite effortless and quick round town. Go for a test drive, you might love it.

Yes 993,996,997,991 plus a few more are 911's. 986,987 ZAnd 981 being the newest boxster. The other 2 are boxsters too.

Would it not be worth getting a bigger diesel like a slk350 cdi and sell the zed?

Would love a 996 turbo with x51 is it? They are still expensive. They don't look that hard to work on either. One day

I'd only use a badger brush tbh. I've used a synthetic cheapish brush it was gash. I've used pure badger which is good. My main brush is a super badger. A silver tip would be better and plusher but they are serious money. You also get boar hair brushes but I haven't used them. If your getting a brush you ideally need to use it with a good cream or soap. Shaving ones that is, Gillette gel won't cut it first timers should try Taylors of old bond street cream as its silly easy lather and smells awesome. But I now use Mitchell and woolfat. It's harder to lather but it's cheap, good for your skin and slick.

Maybe you was driving it like a rwd car? I've heard they have a lot of grip buy then it's not a out and out performance car. The r32 engine was never really powerful enough to warrant one over a remapped gti and the 4wd and engine make it fairly thirsty for a cruiser IMO.

If your keeping the 350 why not see if a c class is the same price? C class's handle very well and can feel great too. They are also plush enough if doing the motorway grind. The 56mpg and performance would tempt me but IMO a roadster isn't about going fast it's about the feel, the smells, the feeling of being outside and the sound! It might sound ok though?

Most clio's come with wheels that have very little gaps in them do this wouldn't work?

Saw you on arbroath road coming into Dundee. I waved and flashed but I wasn't in my 350 so I don't think you looked.

"if you mess up it needs to be WETSANDED OUT " Damn.......may have to rethink my sealant choice Just don't mess up. You have to remember its a semi perminant coating. I'm not sure about this wolfs stuff but other hard sealants are like this.

Nanolex or nano something do something very similar. You need to apply it with a heat gun usually. If you mess it up it needs to be wetsanded out but it should last a long time.

I dont think so. Just beacause of a 1cm difference you nearly spun out. I drove a good 10k miles without a hiccup.

OMG! You over exaggerate some. Ever second car you drive with this tyre or that setup was a death trap. The car feels good with 235's. Intact better as you can get better tyres. Believe what you will though.

Around town yes but Mercs can really hustle ok b roads. There soft suspension actually helps on b roads. I used tiptronic on my dads S Class for about 3 mins and realised it was more bother than it was worth! Flicked back to manual and I've never touched the buttons on the back of the wheel again!

stiffening/rigidity brace I think.

Have you tried it? Also a far better range of tyres are available like goodyear f1A2's.

Like??

Use trip tronic its even more fun!

According to some people on the forum you would not be alive because of mixed tires. Mixed tyres will kill you as soon as you start your car.
