(Un)reliable or not, I still think a gen 1 R8 with manual gearbox would be a sound investment, if you like that sort of thing...

The M240i does well considering it is a humble 'M lite' against a full fat RS Audi and AMG Merc.

£10,000 cheaper than the Audi and £15,000 less than the Merc. :o :o :o

On the road there would be absolutely no difference in speed and the beemer would handle much better than the other two.

Why are you being nice. Do you want something?... ::) ::) ::) ::) ;)

As for paying £62,000 for a car with a 'tuned to the knackers' 2 litre 4 cylinder engine ( Mercedes).....well f*uck that. :-X

I've just noticed that 3 'new model' M240i X-Drive have trickled down and are for sale with delivery mileage. All are being offered at main dealers for £12000-£18,000 over full list price. It's insane.

I've already signed on the dotted line and paid a £1000 deposit so they'd better not try and move the goalposts.

It won't last....as more become available the prices will drop.

I seem to recall something similar when the new Range Rover was introduced and some people were unwilling to wait for delivery. :-X

Two new Purple M240i’s sat in North Oxford BMW garage. No price tag yet, and I didn’t want to ask in case he asked me to sit down for a chat.  ;D
Years ago I had a wish list of cars that I’d love to own but couldn’t afford. Now I can afford most new models on my wish list I don’t want then.  :-\  Strange how things change. All of my later BMW’s have done 0-60 mph in around 4.6 seconds and hit 155mph in the blink of an eye. Being diesel, you can average 35/36mpg around town and a thoroughly respectable 50mpg on a long run. I never use launch control and I can’t remember the last time that I had an adrenaline rush where I felt the need to hit 155mph.  ::)
There’s no need for people to own such fast cars and it should be stopped.  ;D ;D

Yeah, right. 'dangle berries'. ;D


Speaking of Beemers, I was round your neck of the woods yesterday. What's the storying behind that Beemer wedged in the side of the house between the A418 roundabout and the Towersey roundabout?

They seem to be a bit vague on that, just a little report that is incorrect. The report says the bmw went through the brick wall protecting the owners property and clipped a tree, causing the driver minor injuries. As you’ve witnessed, no mention of the flcking great big hole in the owners house where you can see completely inside their sitting room. They’ve set up traffic lights but I can’t see any Acrow props supporting any brickwork.  :-\

You should have popped in for a cuppa.  :y

I think they'd have been too busy putting the living room in order to be making tea for Jaime.

I suppose it was a bit early to expect them to making him a cuppa.

I did of course mean pop to my house for a cuppa but you already knew that.  ;D
