Saw my ass with that speedo, 4 transducers I put on it at £60 a pop, they would work for a week then it would stop. Basically lost interest in the car.
Losing interest in the BMW now too.

That's it mate there's loads of different codes and matching them to the clocks is a bastard lol.
Been looking at m5s (not like nic Barnes) properly looking
And also c63 amgs but the boots not as big on the merc and I'm not keen on the interiour either.
Ill probably keep the BMW a bit longer to be honest as its a nice car and I'm still enjoying it I just want something new to get my teeth into, been looking at another vaux project of some sorts too but I don't know

Could have bought an m5 if I wanted tbh. Didn't, so didn't.

What about M3 Saloon? Too small? That's what I fancy next after the M135i. Had a C63 for 3 weeks, was trade in at work, absolute animal but unsure how you'd keep fuel in it, keep rear tyres on it or keep your licence!!

Was only Internet banter nic you don't have to justify your decision to me, we all know wanting to spend thousands in ikea had nothing to do with the vehicle decision.
M3 will be too small mate as you say the c63 is mega but definately a total hoon wagon, but that's what I want, the 5 series is ace tbh goes like stink slides about does all the right things but it doesn't make any noise lll

I bought a golf instead. It's great. Joint best car to buy right now with a McLaren according to auto car. And they're not wrong.

How about something like a VXR8? Step up from your veccy vxr, noise, speed and no prestige badge keeping the prices high?!

C63 is very tail happy due to torque, the m5 is a nice cruiser and great when all out its immense it does 160 with easy.

Reason i like the vxr8 is they are very rare to see, huge potential too
Although the insignia vxrs arent as fast - my mate drove one and says theyre an awesome bit of kit too

I don't like the vxr8 tbh :/ don't know why, I know there an awesome piece of kit but just doesn't do it for me, I thought my vectra was a great car untill I got the BMW now I wouldn't have another if you paid me lol. The attraction with the merc is as allready stated its a total animal asbo tail happy monster so will be a right laugh! Thing that puts me off the m5 is I have a customer with one and I know what it costs him to run 😑

I wouldnt buy a Golf R tbh. Parkers gave the 95 Aero a better rating so that just shows how poor the Golf will be.
They are practically giving both cars away just now.

Each to their own. I don't rate the golf r at all I really don't like them BUT they get great reviews, if we all liked the same things then the world would be a shit place. I own a couple off Saab 9-5s too and there good mechanically but there still shit cars lol

Probably don't like them as you can't afford them. Should just say that mate, makes you sound more honest.

There offering them out at £134 a month pcp 10k a year, be stupid to buy one at that kind of deal, practically giving them away. I could afford one I just wouldn't buy one, not my thing. Don't get upset about it mate not everyone likes the same thing.

What happens when a ginger calls some one else ginger?
Is that like when a black person says nigger?
