Can vouch for the BMW 3l diesel engines. I went from a Subaru STI a couple of months ago that managed around the 20mpg mark, to a 330cd and I'm getting around the 38mpg mark. Thing with the BMW diesel is that it goes like a petrol car with none of the usual tail off of power but also has the torque. I bought 1 with 120k miles on the clock and it is still tight as a drum. I'll be replacing it with a newer 1 in a year or so I'm that impressed.
Just gone from a 2008 Audi S3 to a new 2012 Ford focus titanium x ( i was trying to be sensible & all grown up), & as i have now realised that there is no way possible of acheiving the over exaggerated fuel figure consumption figures ( see what car magazine) , after six weeks ownership the ford is going & i have purchased a Renault Megane RS 250 with cup chassis. Fu*k being sensible.
It was late last night and had a few beers whilst mocking your lovely 370 - oh how the irony hits me now that I was taking the piss but put myself in the firing line with the picture I posted... Dave - I'm disappointed, I would have pointed out the fact that the picture of your golf shows the four wheels I drove down to see it in - no other than lisas 207 cc!! Don't get more gayer than that folks.
Love it mate, good choice, I had 225 x 2 and r26 but with three kids have not been able to get the 250, test drove one though and loved it more than the 300 bhp focus st3 I had and the other renaultsports. Life's too short to be sensible, hope you enjoy the new motor I now have a 1.5 dci scenic and an 03 mondeo 2.0 lx so jealous...... Just a bit lol, at least the blade keeps me smiling !
And the bisket is back in the room! All true petrol heads are doing the world a favour by having mad cars. Fact. A 'normal' car will need to be twatted on a daily basis, polluting accordingly, whereas a mad car only needs to be driven at a fraction of its capability, taking little sips of petrol to cover the same ground. No brainer really.
Lol, I did miss an oppertunty of a come back, but tbh was struggling to see straight at the time! I must say that you do look at home in the 207, kinda suits you dude
Fpmsl don't even think there can be a comeback for that line... I'd be quoting that in my sig mate LOL...
I've just sold my E46 M3 SMG, nice toy to have.. Also sold the R1, didn't need to sell any really but there is no point having all 3 at once, I'm happy with the new blade Got my wife a Zafira VXR to cart the kids aboot, never a dull moment in that car lol
