  1. hmmm...interesting. For me personally I'm going to stick with the run flats purely because the one series has no spare wheel or space to put one. I have no issue with getting my hands dirty and quickly changing a wheel if I get a puncture but I don't want the inconvenience of sitting at the side of the road waiting for recovery because I have a puncture and no spare wheel. I've heard of the cans of stuff that re-inflate and seal a punctured tyres, but I've also been with someone where they've tried to use the stuff and the can just didn't go off or do anything!
  2. literally no idea, but I thought i'd reply as no one else has... yet. hopefully you do find a solution though!
  3. I've uploaded several :-)
  4. has there actually been a meet then? I'm based in Lincolnshire and I'm up for meeting other members. but no point if there's just 2!
  5. Sorry some how posted the same message twice
  6. Yeah the 123d is quick. Although on paper my astra was quicker. The BMW actually manages to put all that power on the road though. I ofter experienced torque steer and major under steering from my astra. RWD all the way

  8. That's ridiculous. The police in this country are useless! I've had issues where the police say "they can't do anything" of course they can! There's cctv everywhere in this country! When I had a problem a few years back (scammed out our a few thousand on a car deal) they basically said it wasn't cost effective to continue. Yet they can stand there in a 30 zone all day with a speed gun wasting tax payers money. It really annoys me!
  9. Hi, new to the forum so I'm just scrolling through posts. Did you get your car back?! I recently bought a 123D and I love it but recently read that thieves are going for the 1 series because there is a blind spot that allows a thief to access the OBD port without setting off the alarm. With the right tech they can take your car without your keys and just simply reprogram a blank fob!
  10. Hi Brian and Sam, I to am a first time BMW owner. I went from a 2.0 turbo petrol tuned Vauxhall Astra to my 123D M Sport hatch. Its the best car I've ever owned and the best decision I've ever made. I still have power if I need it but I am currently getting 48.7mpg instead of the 24-32mpg in my Astra!
  11. Google, just searched bmw owners club. :-)
  12. Only had my 1 series for just over a week so I've not had a lot of experience with BMW other than the salesman who was friendly (aren't they all when they're trying to sell a car). it'll be interesting to see how they treat me when I next go in now they have my money already.
