I must have 10 Bimmers, a variety of 3 series through z's to 5 series - best was a 540 V8 - lovely!! love the engineering, the ergonomics, the service and I used to love the look on peoples faces when you let them out in traffic, or pull over so they can overtake! but I agree with the earlier comment - i moved from a Bimmer to cooper S when i stopped commuting but still felt the urge to hoon around (as in drive fast - not cheat on expenses! ) but having got my D3's I drive smoothly, slowly and enjoy it just as much. good luck and stay shiny side up! ( a comment that is meaningless in a D3!)

Looked at a new Z4 for mrs bcc on Friday, nice car but grossly expensive for what you get. Might consider a used one though as the bike is getting sold soon and it's a compromise to a roadster but at least I won't kill myself!!
Can't seem me getting shot of the d3 for avoid while as it ticks most of my boxes.
Good luck with ya new motor.Welcome "Lola"

I have to say, the 1 series convertible is very neat.
Like this one?

Oh dear I seem to have started something here. Sorry but this idea that all BMW drivers are ******* is just rubbish. I'll be a D3 driver until about 4ish today then I'll be a BMW driver, I won’t suddenly grow horns and start cutting people up etc. Anyway it's those Merc drivers you've gotta watch for I've got a 330i by the way. I'll be sorry to see the disco go, I even tried to get my misses to trade her Mini in so she could drive the Disco but she threatened to cut bits off me if I mentioned it again!!! (She loves her Mini more than me)

My experience of BMW aftersales is appalling - both in the Midlands and around Brighton.
Some Audi owners seem to be taking over from BMW owners for being badly behaved.

Check the glove box, i think you will find she puts the good stuff on after she has left the house I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

It's the noise of the V8 with 400+BHP......... I just can't help myself........ The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom
