^ Dat AE's. Dat car. :drool2:

 

 

 

German engineering anyone?

[Fear Deer]

^Dat Vito :drool:

 

 

Oh, right!! That swagon too :drool: :p

Looks much better than what you describe it, in terms of scratches!

[The Compensator]

Shall I go and take some photos of them? :p

[Fear Deer]

If you want to embarass yourself, DO IT :twisted:

[The Compensator]

I've embarassed myself A LOT by driving in it for 4 years, so yeah, I'll do it. :(

That rust from the 3 searies estate? Not even my Civic Aerodeck has rust and it's 13 years old, and lived on a far by 2 of its past owners. Gotta say thats poor quality.

[Fear Deer]

Look at the plastic door handles :p That looks like the vito :p

Also apu, riding a 3 series is not embarassing mate ;)

[The Compensator]

Nope, the Vito. However the BMW's already got a rusty trunk lift strut and leaking headlight wash system, which we have already disconnected.

It wouldn't be if it was in a very good condition. Mechanically it is... but you know me. I'm a nit picker.

That seems too faulty for a german car, specially a nearly new one.

Buying 2nd hand cars can be risky. We have found out once, when we had the A4 (we bought it in 2003, car was from 2001), that it had been involved in a crash, due to a cheap fix it had in the under carriage, which caused us a problem once.

Check if your car has cheap repairs evidence! That should not happen on a brand new car!

[The Compensator]

Oh, I forgot to mention that we had to repair some sensor that is levelling the adaptive xenons. Don't ask how much we paid for it.

 

We've bought it from a BMW dealer as a certified pre-owned (aka Premium Selection) and they said they had to get a new rear bumper due to a light damage. :hmmm:

Cheap repairs like this?

 

 

He paid £250 for that to be done...

[Fear Deer]

That looks terrible for a repair lol.

´So yea we learnt the lesson, never buy a 2nd hand car at least without getting a mechanic to check the car condition, repair historial, and inspect for crash evidences.

[The Compensator]

LOL @ that repair. :lol:

There's a little bit of surface rust going on in my engine bay, that's why people take low down pics :cheeky:

Nice Ford ya got thur. /Troll

 

I quite like the recent Mazda's. :D They're really not bad but for some reason they don't sell well.

trololo

[The Compensator]

Yeah, Mazda's are nice and I think they're very good. Here in Europe a lot of people complain about the lack of individualisation and they are a bit pricey here.

[Fear Deer]

We have an old mazda e2200 (well my dad's company has) and it still works! it's from 95!

Loving the mini, are you looking at getting a chrome exhaust? It's the one thing I think it's missing, that and two white stripes on the bonnet :)

Yea, I'm about to email the place where I'm buying it from to see if they can swap out the large bore centre exit for a standard bore centre exit in the kit I'm going to buy. Large bore exhaust with a single silencer will lose me some power and be far too loud.

 

And I'm getting the stripes when I've had it resprayed and that'll probably be a few months away.

[The Compensator]

Looks mint in the first photo. It's getting better and better! :D

 

Are you going for white stripes?

[Fear Deer]

Get the brittish flag sprayed on the roof :lol: xD

mini is looking great^^

I bet it handles as sharp as a go-kart too!

 

 

Also yea, by the first photo I thought it had gotten resprayed!
