not tarbert, altho i go down that way alot. i haven't been convinced that a better road exists. no coppers ever on the road in all the years i have been riding it.
Hate / love cars It's a pain trying to find something 1. Solid (like my 5 series) 1a. You put you foot down and something happens 2. You can stuff a dog in the back 2a. Does 50+ mpg 3. Isn't made of cheese 3a. Doesn't look like a piece of cheese Answers on a postcard
I'd like to spend about 10 but think 15 needed to get low mileage 1/2 decent , be doing 20k year mostly motorway Or I could do less commuting - work wouldn't mind but then I wouldn't get mileage Maybe just run the 5 series into the ground but don't fancy breaking down in the winter on the M3
How many miles are on the 5 series? Surely they'll go on forever? Even my 156 SW has a bit over 125k miles on it now, so can't imagine that that sort of mileage frightens a BMW.
in my experience they suck. most German cars a thriving on a reputation they had 30 years ago. where as the Italians are suffering from there reputation up untill 15 years ago. hence the great prices you can pick them up for.
Save a pile of cash and run it for another 100k or so. Think of the holidays you could have with the change! Think of the bikes you could buy... It's not going to depreciate massively now, is it? That's more money you're saving. Thing is, most people change cars because they want to, because it's fun, a new car. Only problem is, it's quite expensive fun, and the new car will not be new for long. Then it will just be "the car" and you're back to square one. Whereas, if you keep it long enough, you get attached to it, thus still having enjoyment and saving loads of sponds. Way to go, I reckon.
theirs always a right time to sell. the millage dont scare me, it;s always the other annoying faults you get with them but to be fair it's more the v.w.group cars that let them self down.
I do like the " bread van " especially the 135m,, 300 hp , rwd,, a real drivers car,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I believe the alphas are all fwd ... I was considering one myself but came to the conclusion that I could not afford the M and the other ones were under powered.
been out with wife on pillion and mind made up, bike has to go I love it but the stress every time she gets on and off, and always on the edge of disaster, gives me physically a headache! K1300, ZZR 1400, ZX10...next?!
