Title: Picked up a nice car today
Post by: Del Boy on 11 February 2012, 18:40:56
2011 '60' BMW 520d SE Auto, thought it'd be gutless, but it goes really really, well, and an average of 51.4 MPG is fanbloodytastic! Extremely refined for a 4 pot, and hugely quiet! Love it  :y.

Assuming it's the same as my mates, the 7 speed box makes a world of difference :y :y

Standard 6 Speed box in here, the other option is the 8 Speed auto  :y. Good gearbox to be honest, although the 8 speed auto is defiantly much better!

His must be the 8 then ::) Was working from a hazy memory from over a year ago (within a month of his being delivered) :-[

They do go reasonably well though ::)

Just a pity they have the blue and white roundel on the front and seem to be driven by............. >:(

And breathe! ::)

(No offence intended Del :-[ ::))

Am I the only one becoming ever more convinced that Del must be some kind of east London gangster with his collection of (mostly) black BMWs?  ;D

Evening Paul. Sadly much as i love the new Audis so do the pillock drivers you mention. Since Audi have made gorgeous expensive cars the BMW no indicators, guess which lane i'm in & which exit i'm taking blast the horn all your fault brigade have defected to Audi leaving the BMW drivers in the clear....

    They all hit the central locking pretty quick if you jump out of the cab though. Suddenly they have less to say!!! ::)

All very true unfortunately >:( ::)

Also unfortunately, I spend most of my time driving a sign written van so have to be a little careful how I behave ::)
