It is a beautiful car, but........coming back on the M62 the other day, virtually every other car was a beemer. Lost their exclusivity. :-/

[tunnie]

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 

Tunnie if you have the cash spend it now, after you got more responsibilites and a minister in the house say bye bye to beamers..

If i spend it now, can't get a house for another couple of years, i'll be 26 this year, need to get paying into a mortgage soon

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..

Cem has hit the nail on the head there Tunnie mate, they hold their value extremely well

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

[cem_devecioglu]

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..

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  :-/

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

[webby23]

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........

 

[cem_devecioglu]

X5 is the original design.. and x3 is the ugly copy imho

[tunnie]

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....

And if I want neither........??
