Title: Warranty work on the Mexican tomorrow.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 03 April 2024, 12:01:05
Nothing serious.

The plastic grill/grille in the front bumper has cracked and one of the cheap flimsy mounting attachments has broken off. They will be replacing two plastic parts at no cost to me.

Also, while the car is at BMW Boston I will be taking an extended test drive in a late 2023 M5 Competition with just 664 miles under it's wheels being sold at £35000 below its original invoice price. They have offered me an excellent P/X deal in for my car. Hmmm. ::)

It'll be a fun few hours regardless.

Yes....it would have been rude to refuse. :)

Depreciation is a real killer for most cars in the first year, unless cars are in short supply with long waiting lists.

625bhp, rwd on damp roads. What could possibly go wrong?

It does come with 4 driven wheels.

The second Jagaur XFR  I owned had around 600 BHP after Viezu had a play. And rear drive only.

It did shit me up in the wet though. :D ;D

If I were stupid enough to go for a spin with you, it would end up in a fatality. I'd definitely have a heart attack.

You should go for spin with Rae in his Evo then!   :)   I'm a shadow of my former self....  :o   ;D

Your elderly uncle is a man of advanced years, Tig.

A spin in a tuned 500BHP Evo driven by Rae would surely see him into the next world.

A bag of boiled sweets, a cup of Ovaltine, and an early night is far more appropriate. :)

He nearly saw me into the next world!  :o  ::)   ;D

If we'd bolted a couple of wings onto the Evo I swear we would have taken off as we tore up that Welsh mountainside!  :D
