  1. Yes, of course! WRX or WRX STi? I'd say Bugeye and Hawkeye are in my eyes the most appealing - if we're talking about design only.
  2. LOL, I don't have any money at all, don't know if I'll pass the final exams next year to get to a uni so... Pretty sure I won't get any of those cars. :p
  3. There's nothing that could replace our 3 Series, so not even thinking about that. Though I could see my dad in an M235i, but we haven't even collected it in Germany, so screw that too. :p These would be great as a first car for me in a few years time. All of them go under 20k € now. Obviously. R56 Cooper S/JCW. Or an R55 Clubman? :susp: Fiesta ST.
  4. Audi makes great interiors. :nods: I love the pop-up MMI screen, because when it is hidden the dash looks much much cleaner. *cough* Mercedes *cough*
  5. So much Supra goodness I couldn't handle it if I was there. :bow:
  6. Fair point, better than a 1.9 TDI PD Octavia Mk1. That's what mother wants instead of the bimmers. My dad facepalm'd and I said "You're joking, right" when she had said that. :lol: I downloaded a 110 page technical training for N55 engines. It's going to be fun reading it.
  7. Yeah, I guess we both have 3rd world problems of not being allowed to drive fast bimmers. You're stuck with a TDI Caddy, people will think you're a greengrocer. :ym: And in the wagon I'll be a spoiled 18yo idiot with daddy's family cocain hauler. :(
  8. Of course we're keeping it, the Vito is going and it'll be a very very sad moment. :( Parents work together, but as my dad goes to work earlier and back home later than mom, they both need two cars. But maybe that will change as the 135i's MPG is... uhm... as high as you'd expect from a turbo I6. 14.4 l/100km was the consumption we got on the short test drive. :whistle: The car is small, inside and out. It has its pros and cons, of course. I'm circa 187-88 cm high, so it wasn't easy to get in the back with my dad sitting in front of me. But truth be told, the E91 isn't very spacious in the rear too. I can barely sit behind me, when I adjust the front seat for me. 2 people are maximum in the E82, 4 in the E91. I've told them that many times. :evil: I hope my dad will change his attitude on looking after cars. I know he loves everything that has a combustion engine, we would't have had bought that car if he wasn't. I'm an obsessive OCD with no money to spend on detailing products that our car desperately needs. Gaaahhhhh, better to stop talking about that. Mom said they won't let me drive it because it has got some power (she knew it had more ponies than usual, just doesn't know the exact number :twisted:). But I'm not stupid and I know where my limits will be, so the E91 is going to be my learner car. Still not bad at all, isn't it. About the coding: Well, I've read pretty much a lot of threads about coding and guys do it at home but it was rather "easy" coding - auto folding windows and mirrors, DRL's etc. However, there are a few DIY's on retrofitting xenons. It won't be easy, though. You need to deal with some hardware, too, at least the auto-levelling sensor located at the back of the car must be installed as well as headlight washers and modules and whatnot. Yeah, I know a fair amount of E82/E9x owners have aftermarket DEPO's but they look... well, not so perfect. And I don't if they are legal here. People have cheap Polish HID's on their Octavias and old Audis, but I don't want something illegal and cheap-looking on such a machine. Definitely staying with OEM bi-xenons. We know it's expensive, I presume between 2 and 3 thousands €. Still with the future retrofit, the cheapest similar 135's available now are about 2k more. I might make my own thread to not spam this one with bullpoop info and long essays.
  9. Mom isn't happy we decided to buy it, haha. We didn't even tell her how much HP it has. I checked the VIN code, it has got everything: Harman/Kardon (which I'm very happy for), electric seats with memory and lumbar support, Navigation system Professional with all the ConnectedDrive things, sunroof (meh...), light package, Active Steering (which gets mixed reviews...) and on and on. So everything you can get, EXCEPT front parking sensors and xenon lights. Retrofitting them costs a lot, but we're definitely doing them as halogens are just bad. Very bad. Also, I have to dig through hell of a lot of forum threads about it now, plus to find every part we need (there are for example four versions of tailights, two for halogens and two for xenons!) and lastly someone who knows coding. Maybe I can learn how to code at home? Oh, and don't forget the winter tire/wheel setup.
  10. Hey, it's a little Aston Martin. Congrats, dude! By the way, friends. Order placed on the blue 135i.
  11. That annoys me a lot, too. I hope I was/am using the like button in a good manner.
