  1. Will the next generation of the 1m coupe be called the 2m or m2? The new 1 series coupe is called the 2 series and the new 3 series coupe is now called the 4 series so it would make sence!
  2. E92 M3's what you want! Proper car!
  3. Spoke to some tradesmen today and they said they received 50% of the payment for 2 years after agenda for change was implemented. They no longer receive it and they cant negotiate. Its either take what you get or find another job! Hope this helps.
  4. Your not employed as a tradesmen though? It's regarding a payment called recruitment and retention. Sorry, I'm not a tradesman, but i work alongside them everyday.
  5. I work in NHS central support, whats up?
  6. I'm positive that if you saw the victim and there was know one else at the scene you would have stopped and assisted Being a basic first aider, you are equipped to give the very basic treatment ( which can save lives). But as the victim was already awake and there was others at the scene you did the correct thing. Ive worked in the NHS for nearly 20 years and I know professionals, such as Doctors and Nurses who would drive by and not assist for fear of a malpractice suit. I know this is hard to believe but its true. I know of two Doctors who have been accussed of Medical negligence as a result of stopping to help someone in public. It' terrible but its the times we live in!
  7. I'm saying the 320i isnt the one that needs bucket seats the most. You have a cool car and its good on fuel and looks awesome. Don't spoil it with some track day special seats. Yip agree with that mate, I really like the 335i and i'm thinking i should have bought a used one instead of my car. But as they look identical to mine I'm not sure. That could be a good thing i suppose, wolf in sheeps clothing and all that. I also thought about a used M3 but after the zed i dont think i would go for another big NA engine, so that rules out the current M3. I think the 3 series coupe to have will be the 328i which is only available as a saloon just now. But when it comes out as a m sport coupe, I might buy one. Its a 2.0l twin turbo. Great fuel economy and performance.
  8. Thanks for the replys. Just looking for something different, Saw these in the performance parts catalogue when i ordered my car but they were double the price from bmw. Might just buy the carbon fibre front splitter! By the way, it dosent matter if you have a 320i, 325i, 330i or 335i in sport plus trim they all look exactly the same, except from the exhaust. Obviously the 335i is the one to have!
  9. Thinking about these for my e92. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-BMW-PERFORMANCE-HEATED-SEATS-INTERIOR-BUCKET-E90-E91-E92-E87-E81-E82-/190756857118?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ABMW&hash=item2c69fea51e
  10. Welcome, I agree i've a few friends who are traffic police officers and they tell me about the courses they do.
  11. Agree Neil. It takes the fun out of driving!
  12. I agree, but i had to overtake. I was doing about 65 mph, but i had to overtake someone hugging the middle lane. So i was just under 75 mph.
  13. Don't you drive a 320? Nah I keed. I agree with you but people take the pee when it comes to speeding sometimes and someone needs to get monies. I did say "nice" and not fast! lol.
  14. To start with I don't really need a car, but like most folk here I love cars, therefore I would never be without a nice one! I work, train and socialise within a mile radius of my home, so everywhere is within walking distance and if its raining, my wife's got a new mini cooper that she also hardly uses so I could use that. Anyway, I woke up today and decided to go for a drive. I bought a new BMW about 6 weeks ago and it's still only got 195 mile on the clock. I thought I would drive to Glasgow for a bit of lunch, which is about 30 mile round trip. I left home and before I reached the motorway (4 mile) I had went through 12 roundabouts and all i did was swerve all over the road avoiding potholes. I was only on the motorway for about 5 minutes when i past one of they mobile speed camera's doing 75 mph overtaking someone driving in the middle lane and I didnt want to undertake them. I got to glasgow and couldnt find a "decent" parking space so I turned and went home, only to drive past another 3 speed camera's and countless potholes. Is it just me, or is the enjoyment slowly getting taking out of driving by the poor roads, speed camera's and roundabouts? Also I always avoid speeding, but it does distract your attention when your constantly watching out for speed camera's incase your briefly a few mph over the speed limit. I'm starting to think is it worth it! Rant over!
  15. I just bought a brand new 3 series coupe also. Ive got 19's with runflats and m sport suspension and the ride is fine. I feel your pain regarding the price of the runflats. It didn't bother me as i only cover around 3000 miles per year, so i shouldn't need to replace them. But if i get a puncture thats a different matter. BMW do run flat insurance, might be worth a look if your worried!
  16. Thats a proper car Neil, probably best all round car on the road. I'll have a look next time i see you.
  17. I'm not sure of all the prices Neil but he's got a website and a facebook page with loads of images. Didnt know you had bought an M5. Need to get a look when you get it!!
  18. Hi all, my new BMW is booked in for a full protection detail at clyde valley detailing. I can highly recommend them as ive used them before. The owner there is a true professional. They have also invested in a flat bed pick up, so they can obviously pick up and drop off. I'll post some pics soon!

    My new Car!

    Thanks, really miss my zed though. I don't mind the drop in power because the fuel consumption is great!

    My new Car!

    TBH they were the same model, I just didn't like the saloon. But for some reason the coupe comes with 19's, xenons, idrive, satnav and loads more over the saloon as standard!
