Erm, you've got VXR8 at the bottom in your signature which is a bit of a giveaway

.

Now, can you stand back a bit, and give us some more revealing shots please

i know roger
but i thought it would help......
2009 black 6.2 tree hugger v8

pick up tomorrow it has the bimodal wortec exhaust but is way too loud for a daily drive so they are fitting an electronic switch for me so as i can open and close the valves
i know its not everyones cup of tea
but it has acres of room a mahoosive boot and loads of toys.
the local dealer picador are superb in every way so far much much better than either of my 2 local bm dealers who never returned my calls ( one of which i have bought 7 cars from inc new m5!)
the brand may not be loved by some (my wife inc) and i will miss the turbo shove the fuel economy may take some getting used to (but on a recent trip to south of france i only averaged 22 in the 335i)
i was initially put off as the insurance was up from 350 i am paying on the 335 to 1800 for the vxr8!
however i have just got a renewal quote for the bm at 550 ( no claims - just gone up. even shopping around was no cheaper) but tried elephant yesterday and its only 750 for vx inc mods

cant wait - i havent looked forward to a new car so much for ages just need to get a tow bar (not avail ) to tow petrol tanker round
i got a decent trade in and a lot off the screen price too

Thought this was going to be another tyre thread and nearly didn't look

Will be very interested to hear what you think of it

That looks good

Em135eye · 05-13-2011, 05:13 AM

Cool! But there are cheaper ways of ditching RFTs...!

When you collect it, please record the car and post it up! Love these beasts! I fancy a large petrol engine next (only to be used on longer drives and some fun).
