Kipperkid I apologise to our female investors didnt mean to offend anyone.just a bit of light hearted humour while we wait for our divi deal.

Yes very true the vivaro trafic and primastar all the same running gear all French..I had a vivaro before and was a good one except for the chocolate box 6 speed bearings etc
This one I had to do new engine , turbo rad, rack, and virtually all other parts.
You did right thing staying away from these after your mechanic said to you lol
Big Winner. On behalf of our female investors, don't you think we've moved on a bit of late? No not a prude/philistine/too old etc. I write humour and enjoy a laugh.
Bit of advice to the lads who are thinking of getting married when the divi comes in. Never get down on one knee to a woman if she dosent get down on two for you gla.
GTR R35 is my dream, stage 4+. I drove the 800bhp GTR made for the fast and furious live shows on a track day last year and grinned from ear to ear =D
Had same problem with a renault traffic that had a tubocharger then the 6speed gearbox went. The mechanic advised me to keep away from the renault traffic and the vauxhall vivaro they use the same running gear and engine. So changed to the mercedes sprinter had no problems touch wood.
I do love 4 door saloons tbh as you say practical too.
That why I love B7 RS4 and they are getting really rare now especially as only made 10k worldwide.

Yes true about M5. I didn't have a thing wrong on mine.
My vivaro van has been much more expensive to keep tbh. Literally renewed nearly every part that van has lol
Cloest I've ever come to driving a car was that one time a friend, despite me saying are you sure many times, let me reverse park his car between 2 cars... in a field...at night...while stoned and ever so slightly tipsy. And I nailed it. Other than that my only experiance of petrol power is gokarting and if only my mam had a camcorder I'd have been on You'veBeenFramed as a kid such was the quailty of wipeout I always produced on a gokart.
Wonder if I'll bother to get a drivers license sorted out after all this EUA stuff reveals itself in all it's glory. Get me a 125cc for those days the weather is bleh even for the electric mountainbike I'll be treating myself to. Or even join my friend in owning a Defender. Mac would be aghast at the leaky ex army disel defender my mate has lol. But it is fun to bounce around in.
I bet you went through some tyres on that car. just had to put 2 pilot 4s on the rear not cheap. Do like the F10 M5 just your into big money if anything big goes wrong on that beast.
It's more practical with the 4 doors and a big boot compared to the M2. Easier to chuck the two kids in the back
F80 M3 I am with you in that ;) I keep toying with buying one and like you when this comes in then maybe ;)
The ultimate dream car is a Porsche GT3 RS, but we'd need a hell of a good share price alongside my forex trading for that, maybe one day though. Any M2 or a f80 M3 can fill the gap for now :)
Yea 2 rwd high power is a struggle to put power down. I had a F10 M5 700hp and that thing was wild and tried to kill you if you dare turn off traction.

Loved my N55. The sound of a decatted N55 is music ! Mine was 447hp ewg Stage 2+ loved it. There's a few cars I love the sound of and they are B7 RS4 C63Amg w204 and the N55 ;))
Thats the one thing about the n55 m2 lci they sound great compared to the m2 comp.they sound pretty flat not had a chance to track mine yet. both models are great cars good luck getting your new one.
Nice good luck. I used bm3 software and did some mods to get my N55 to 420bhp. The sound of it was awesome and I did 2 track evenings at Donington. Sadly it went in August while the mrs was on maternity leave
i own a m2 competion running a dms remap 530bhp proper scary in the wet. great car would try and upgrade to the new m4 xdrive you need 4 wheel drive to put the power down properly. hopefully when eua comes in thats going to be on my wish list gla.
I saw a 721bhp M2 comp for sale earlier. After owning a 2018 M2 LCI I'd love to get my hands on the twin turbo version

Great choice of car!
I was bored waiting for this to come in so I cashed a few in and bought Giulia Quad and that's why i don't hang out here that much.
I now suffer from jaw ache 'cause of the permanant grin whilst driving it
BMW M3 3.0 BiTurbo Competition Saloon 4dr Petrol Steptronic (s/s) (510 ps)
Sorry, I was bored, don't like tempting fate ;-)
