After I got my license (to drive, not kill(although I wish)) I've realised how bad Audi drivers are. Doesn't matter is it is new and fancy or an old Audi 100. Equally bad and the cunts of the road

I could do with a new car and was thinking of a beemer. I really don't want to give up my Type-R - it's been 100% reliable despite never really being serviced properly and thrashed *hard* for 160,000-odd miles - but the cabin is totes noisy as it's the least well insulated thing known to mankind and a couple of hours commuting can't be doing my ears any good at all. Plus, I could do with a towbar and a roof rack so the car is no longer fitting my needs.

Which is annoying.

@Bodhi - what type of BMW you got? I was thinking of a 5 series GT. But I've heard they're not that reliable any more.

I had a 3 series m sport. Nice car but shame about the boot space. You willl notice the difference between a hatchback and a beamer saloon. You might want to gofor the estate.

Your all about the speed but now i love my passat estate. All the room i cpuld need and eats motorway miles.

The one advantage of getting a 5GT is that no-one really wants them so you'd get one relatively cheap.

Really? Looking about they're more expensive than the saloon or estate?

I am, of course, open to suggestions :)

I had a 323i Touring for a while - absolutely loved it but fairly expensive to run.

Dropped the GT off at an indy today too. They didn't contact me to let me know what the damage will be. When I called them to see if I could pick up the car, the girl who answered the call couldn't contact anyone from the garage-proper and couldn't tell me if the car was done or not.

called them today. there was nobody availible from the garage to tell me about my car. no records had been made detailing any work done. I couldn't help myself so I got mean and scared their secretary half to death. she apologized perfusely on behalf of the company and I will be called on Monday with the GT's status. naturally this is the (first and) last time I will be doing business with them.

It's a 1 Series Coupe, not the most practical thing in the world but we've packed enough stuff in for a couple of road trips now without too much issue -fine for golf clubs but you'd struggle with a bike.

Reliability has been fine for me, but then I've always bought the 6 cylinder models which are more solid and lovely engines to drive - a lot smoother than a Type R and not as manic, still properly quick though.

Wouldn't touch a 4 cylinder diesel with a bargepole however, but that's not just BMW, they're generally pretty nasty devices.

Not sure about the 5 Series GT as it is huge, based on the 7 Series rather than the 5, lovely inside and drive well, not the most attractive thing on the road however, and most are diesels. I'd be more tempted to recommend a 3 Series Touring, either a 328i or 335i, or a 330d if you must go diesel. You can get them in 4wd also, but that defeats the object of a bm for me, so meh.

Supermarket wankers.

I drove into a "with children" bay (I had my two neices with me) and drove past the only remaining parking space so I could reverse into it. With my hazards on and in reverse gear, some prick drives into the space!

If the kids weren't with me, some choice words would have been brought into play.

I dont know why people with kids get preferential parking. Kids can walk just as well as anyone else.

Why would you put your hazard lights on in that situation? That's just bizarre. Hazard lights = I'm stopping here for a little bit so don't hit me pls (aka I'm temporarily a hazard)..

edit;

Hazard warning lights. These may be used when your vehicle is stationary, to warn that it is temporarily obstructing traffic. Never use them as an excuse for dangerous or illegal parking. You MUST NOT use hazard warning lights while driving or being towed unless you are on a motorway or unrestricted dual carriageway and you need to warn drivers behind you of a hazard or obstruction ahead. Only use them for long enough to ensure that your warning has been observed.

Very young kids, you have 3 of them, try getting them to walk across a carpark without all 3 wanting to be carried.

Also, kids are more likely to throw car doors open with a total disregard for other cars, trust me, I've seen some situations in my local tesco where kids managed to go over the 'hash' and smash into other cars, no idea, some times the parents come across happily like lol np, my kids do the same :p

Or rather: kids will nag their parents to buy more shit they don't need and increase profit for the supermarket.

Oh btw i dont agree with having more than two kids. On purpose anyway. I think the world is over populated as it is. So those with three kids deserve to suffer. Lol

people with FB accounts like "Bob and Tanya Derplefutter" with an endless stream of kiddiepics, meaningful quotes and "good causes". it's not Bob and Tanya, it's just Tanya, and the only reason the account exists is because she's trying to one-up all her bff's with how fucking 'mindful' she is. I swear to friggin Bran these sorts of people annoy me :eek:
