  1. well after 3 online quote requests with no reply I phoned for a quote, £2,300 quid lol. apparently your not taking bmw's on cos of a recent rise in claims against them. Insurance is a huge joke, not just adrian flux but all insurance companies. no wonder theres so many uninsured drivers on the road!
  2. yeah i tend to drive the long way round to the shop now, instead of the 100 yard walk down the cut through :rolleyes:
  3. Had first trip out in the car yesterday, around 85 mile all round trip to the safari park at knowsley. roads roughly half motorway half A roads plus twice round the park. came back at an average 54 mpg. much better than the 25 mpg in my 1.8 vectra petrol. Off to clean the monkey sh*t off it now :D
  4. Hey, really not keen on the squareish door mirrors on my 320d sport and would prefer some m3 type. would they be a straight fit if i could get hold of some or are there any decent aftermarket items out there?? ta :D
  5. welcome mate. I'm new here too ;)
  6. ta very much :D :D
  7. hi mate, welcome to the site, new here myself :)
  8. my problem is i only have 1 yrs no claims bonus. used to have 8 yrs but because i drive a van for work i sold my car and didn't have insurance for over 2 yrs so lost it. Would any insurance company take into account that i've drove the company van for 11 yrs without claims? I do well over 50k miles a year cos i work all over the country. I'm 45 years old and getting quotes well over the 1500 pound mark which i find !Removed! steep tbh I've filled in your quote form but not had an email yet cheers
  9. cheers Gav, feel much better now lol :D
  10. Hi Just bought a 320d m sport. only drove a few miles but everything seems to be in working order, nice power etc. this is the first bmw i;ve owned and also the first diesel. when accelerating and changing gear theres a sort of whoo noise from the engine, bit like a dump valve, is this normal? also the steering feels a lot heavier than other cars i've driven, it has the 18 inch mv alloys on, could it be the sheer size/width of the tyres thats making it feel a bit heavy? thanks in advance Me
  11. will do as soon as i've taken some ;)
  12. Hi, I'm martin, just bought my first beemer, a 320d individual sport in estoral blue. 100k miles on a 53 plate. really happy with my purchase but not done many miles yet ;) Probably gonna have plenty of questions over the next week or so, so bear with me lol
