I am happy with it now. And that’s what matters. It hasn’t been a nightmare. I chose to get it looking immaculate. I like things just right!
Precision Porsche, Ringmer, East Sussex? A mate of mine has his Boxster looked after by them. Have occasionally spent some enjoyable time on the nearby Bluebell Line while they’ve done the service.
A vote here for Precision. They look after my 997, great team, always helpful, courtesy car, no questions
I have just returned my leased BMW320 dm at the end of a three year lease (55,000 miles driven)
Was a super drive, very comfortable, 50 mpg and faultless reliability
As I retire in less than 6 months I no longer need a newish lease car. I have bought outright (tax free lump sum) a 68 Plate BMW 2 series Luxury which will be perfect for me with many less miles to cover on retirement

I own a 320i M Sport Pro. Tricky to fault it.
I’ve run BMWs since 1986 both business and private. Had little trouble and always good service. Later ones seem to be a bit gadgety and lightweight but thats the way the world has moved and better mpg is a given over the older engines. Next car will be another BMW so says it all really.
I have driven many other makes over the years and always found BMW to be the best handling car even with their ‘cooking’ versions.

BMW are great cars but design wise they seem to be lost. Their cars now imo look ordinary, the next X3 due in ‘25 is a perfect example.

Absolutely awful. You’re right. They look shocking. Any the M division have lost their way, with the possible exception of the M2.

The 3 series sedan is one of the few they haven’t fcked completely.

Now that’s a return to form. Looks hot.
That is a nice car, and in my view the only good looking current BMW. When I was buying my Audi RS3 last year, I test drove an M2. It was a great car, with a fantastic interior, but I went for the RS3 as it was slightly more compact and has 4 wheel drive.

My Blue Shark Spyder and my wife’s 118i in Blue Misano. Actually BMW quality seems Better and very good VFM. Porsche charges a premil over normal metallic paint for a solid one. Fancy black brake calipers instead of red? It’ s your for 860 euro sir.

We’ve just bought one of these, the Renault Megane etech electric. I just hope we find enough chargers when out and about. We are hoping to get it next week.

They’re supposed to be very good. I recommend you get an octopus Electroverse charging card (free whether h or not you are an octopus customer ). Covers nearly all the major networks and makes life a lot simpler. The app finds chargers for you that are in its network
