You are kidding right? :o BMs nowadays look like a 5 year old put them together....was never impressed by the BMs I tested.

Yep, person I work for has a grey XF V8, lovely car no doubt but would rather have a BM anyday. What BM's have you been driving all of them feel like a quality product, more so than the Jag being totally honest.

330d M Sport and the 123d M Sport plus a mate has the 320d which has convinced him to never get a BM again. The ride and the experience is so much better in the XF than any of the BMs I tried. That said the 123d impressed me in that it drove like a petrol :y Still full of plastic and tin though :(

1 Series, I'll totally agree with you on that they look tatty and they do feel cheap inside. 3 series they may ride badly but the M Sports put them anywhere in the dry and it'll go there, the 320d has a cracking engine, the 330d is even better. It's all down to personal preference no way does a new 3 series feel cheap though, the quality of materials used is second to none. Christ I sound like BMW salesman. I love em though really do :y The XF doesn't feel half as good to drive as a 5 series either.

The e39 and e60 BMW 5 series are ok, not keen on the rest of the range. 1 series is for people that think a Focus is too common and spend stupid money on a small car when I think the Focus is a better car, 3 series is dull, 5 series is good, 7 series is ok...but then you get the X3 and X5 which are both totally and utterly rubbish, pointless and have had some reliability issues, but not with the 3.0 diesel engine. Then there's the weird other models they insits we all need and want. The XF is a nice car, but I prefer the XJ (X350). BMW's are ok, but I think they're not as great as people think they are. Only like the 5 series...nothing else from them.
-
If you want something with a mad diesel engine try a VW Touareg,they do a 5.0 V10 diesel that is really rapid.I know 99.9% of you won't touch a VW but even if it is just for a one off experiance try and get a test ride in one.As a car it is poo but what they have done with the engine makes you laugh.

Don't get me started. I've experienced shopping trolleys that are more fun to steer. ;D

Answer is simpple here.
Buy an audi a6 ;)
Or an A8 with v12 tdi if available.
Every beemer engine is crap compared to that engine.
And the build quality is way better.
One of my friends has an Xf 2.7 premium luxury the other has 530d.
Jag is just as good as the beemer and far better looking. (was cheaper too)

The 3.0 is miles better too :y

The XF 2.7 does 0-60 in 7.7 seconds, 142 mph and 204 bhp. The 530d does 0-60 in 6.8 seconds, 155 mph and 242 BHP.
-
The XF 2.7 does 0-60 in 7.7 seconds, 142 mph and 204 bhp. The 530d does 0-60 in 6.8 seconds, 155 mph and 242 BHP.
Do you want the figures for the 3.0 deisel XF as the 2.7 has been redundant for nearly a year now......or are you happy to admit the XF has better figures....including mpg ::) ::) ::)

Haven't even looked at the 3.0 figures to be honest.
-
XF's second hand more pricey than beemers at the moment, but hopefully that will change in a few years time as the XF is still fairly new.
I sat in BMW 530d at a dealer in London, felt ok, but twisty dials for air-con / heat :o
It was nice, but not £15,000 nice. Its about the only decent RWD replacement, quite like Dels Saab Aero even though its FWD, most parts are on Vx TC.
Not a fan of VeccyC interior or looks, so would look more to Saab 93.....
But if i LPG the 2.2, thats going to be staying for along time yet. Even more so if i get a house, as i would most likey commute via train, so my millage would drop to nothing.

House deposit takes priority, will have to sell the beemer towards the end of the summer :'(

:-?
lets be honest.. BMW makes good cars..
so do Jaguar..
both cars are not in the same class with vauxhalls/opels.. (even they are powered with ford engines)
if you got the money, drive an E46 M3 ,
if budget not ok try 330i.. both really good machines
with double vanos..
same applies to 5 series also.. plastic is no reason to say a car is bad..
never had the chance to drive a jaguar but they are well built on the avg compared to vauxhall and opel..
and please check their test ratings on the net.. :y

These are the dials you want tunnie, and do not buy from a bmw dealer, they'll over charge you for something you can get for much less.

Yup, twisty dials, not great really. Think the Omega dash is better, it was nice, don't get me wrong, but can't justify £10-15k :-/
Its going to be tight enough as it is when i take on a house :'(

forget the house.. here is the plan.. get a second hand good condition beamer , drive for some months (and dont make accident) than sell it, you wont loose much.. and than you can buy whatever you like.. :) :y

true enough! the 5 series pretty rare over here for young lads to be driving though....it'l be short lived,hopefully starting to build a house myself towards mid to late summer
-
imho, some things most be done in younger ages..
I dont think getting an m3-m5 in later ages is meaningful..

You're right Cem. An old timer looks silly in a sporty car, although a 7 series would be fine.
And as for a 50 odd year old woman in an open top car, well.........

yep.. but a house exactly fixes you on the 3 axis coordinate system like a road sign.. :( (what exactly happened me in the past) and then upgrades, repairs etc etc.. I dont say dont buy a house , but imho early for you.. :y

Thing is i want to push to become a streaming engineer, that would be a mon-fri job not 3 days on 3 days off i do now, so would need to be closer.
Thanks to the forum the Omega is cheap as chips to run, even if the HG blows, not an issue. If i got a house i would use the train to get to work (fixed costs)
Omega does everything i want it to do, even if it costs me £100 to maintain every month, still quids in. £10k loan still going to be what £300 a month for 3 years? Be cheaper to run the 2.2 ....
But i know what you mean, buy something newish now which won't need much work done for good few years :-/

Omega does everything i want it to do, even if it costs me £100 to maintain every month, still quids in. £10k loan still going to be what £300 a month for 3 years? Be cheaper to run the 2.2 ....
But i know what you mean, buy something newish now which won't need much work done for good few years :-/
the fact is when the years are gone and the candles on your birthday cake are too many , you will be happy for the things you have done and regret for the things you didnt.. so do it ;D :y
-
Often go to our local AvailableCar centre in Castle Donington for a poke around the cars they have......
Went up there a couple of weeks ago and came across an X3 so had a sit in and look around it......
BLOODY HORRIBLE.......
Interior felt cheap, looked cheap and far too much hard plastic in there for the type of car it pretends to be....
Hated it and dont envy anyone driving them........
:y
-
X5 is the original design.. and x3 is the ugly copy imho
-
X3 is not made by BWM i seem to recall, X5 is. Not a fan either, don't see the point in either. They are sh!t off-road, if you want something thats comfy and good off-road get a Range Rover. If you want a beemer, get a 5 Series....

..... if you want something thats comfy and good off-road get a Range Rover. If you want a beemer, get a 5 Series....
And if I want neither........??

Thing is i want to push to become a streaming engineer, that would be a mon-fri job not 3 days on 3 days off i do now, so would need to be closer.
Thanks to the forum the Omega is cheap as chips to run, even if the HG blows, not an issue. If i got a house i would use the train to get to work (fixed costs)

Good Grief! I thought I was boring, but I'm not even in your league. Student to Old F*rt without passing through "bloke". What is the world coming to? :( :( :(
Please convince me I've misjudged you. :)

while on the subject of BMW diesels, please take a momment to research "swirl flaps" via google or whatever.
These little time bombs sit in the inlet tract and at any time after 10k fall into the engine totally destroying it.
You will also want to know if this is covered by the warranty...? it is not.
Best i've heard BMW offer in this instance is to pay half the bill for labour and new engine, also fitted with swirl flaps, still leaving the owner with a very large bill... some owners have been unfortunate enough for the replacment engine to suffer the same fait.
The fix is a flapectomy and fit bungs. £90odd plus labour or something like.
personaly i hate BMW's. Good cars, absalutely no desire to own one. Shame.

Swirl flaps are a very very rare problem after 2002 and mostly affected 320d's and old 525d's, 530d's.
