EVs can't fully take over until there's a way for people who can only park on the road and other who live in flats have charging points. To put such an infrastructure in place would be a massive project. I don't see it happening. Re PCP (and leasing too) - if you are buying a new car and changing it...

New thread required !

Yes!! Love a new thread about buying a Porsche that isn’t a Macan!

I suppose that's better than using this thread to talk about buy a BMW!

So you haven’t completed wasted our time then - 14 pages and you buy a bmw!! 😂😏 Go for Porsche over Audi. Mrs had Mk2 V6 roadster before her 981S Boxster. It was a lovey car but the Porsche does show the Audi up and the Porsche residuals were of course far superior to the Audi. Longest she has kept...

Clive, I am toying with buying an X3 M40i as a replacement for my Macan S Can I ask what sort of discount you have managed to achieve? I am getting the impression that BMW dealers are prepared to discount quite heavily to meet their sales targets. Thanks I'm into the final negotiation. I can get 17...

Whilst I am about to place my order for an X3 M40i, I do still have a Porsche in my plans. I was going to buy a new TT for my wife. A pre-loved Cayman should be on our list too.

You had me wondering for a minute. I checked my photos...yes it's an S. Maybe there's something up with it, it is hard to believe they are all like this.

Now for the one aspect that I hope doesn't incense everyone. Maybe it's the WLTP engine but the turbo lag is simply awful. It's worse that my 1980s RS Turbo. Even Sport mode doesn't help much. There's little lag when on the move briskly through the lanes but in traffic it is terrible. Also in Sport...

It's frustrating but space is crucial for us. We will be taking the hound with us on extended holidays so that aspect is non-negotiable. The turbo lag I might have been able to cope with. It's been a journey....

The lumpy tickover I referred to I realised today is only in Sport so that's fine, indeed it may even be intended. The lag however is still there. I can drive around it but I shouldn't really be needing to think about the turbo spinning up in a modern car. It is only from standstill or very low spee...
