Re: M135i

BMW has been using runlets for quite a long time now and have put a lot of work into tuning the suspension to work better with them. Early examples were horrendous but it now works well and does provide a greater feeling of security than a can of gunk! I was unlucky enough to use early rft tyres on...

Re: Macan goes swimming!!!

So there’s no need to be calling me, or anyone else a prick on a public forum please. If you read my post carefully, I didn't actually call you a prick. I simply implied that you might come across as one given your polarised generalisations about groups of people. But you appear to have taken the b...

Re: Macan goes swimming!!!

No you just make general stereotypical sweeping statements about other people's behaviour and then take offence when it's pointed out that your perception might just make you look rather smug and arrogant. But I'll be sure to look out for you religiously following strict left lane etiquette on a bu...

Re: Macan goes swimming!!!

Being lazy, selfish and pig-headed, but so thick skinned as not to car what others think, is a bit of an epidemic. I do kind of agree with you here, but then so is being a self-important, stereotyping, judgemental prick. It's a fine line between the two positions, just sayin..... I agree, it is ind...

Re: Macan goes swimming!!!

The ironic thing is, lazy people drive in lane two, as they want to make the minimum effort :roll: Please don't tell me you are one of those bellends who constantly weaves in and out of the inside lane just to make a point when it genuinely is a lot easier just to go with the flow in lane 2 or 3 (w...

Re: Macan goes swimming!!!

Driving down the M1 late afternoon earlier this week the rain was absolutely torrential and visibility was pretty grim. There was lots of surface water so I tucked in a little bit behind an Aston and we drove at around 50 mph down the middle lane (my theory being that surface water is least likely ...

Re: Macan goes swimming!!!

If you were in the middle lane.......what were you overtaking? Not really surprising that you witnessed undertaking..... If you choose to drive at your chosen sensible speed, irrespective of others, you should be in the furthest practical left hand lane. You’ve still got a lane left and right to ta...

Re: M135i

Went to view the new 1 Series launch last weekend and in particular I wanted to see the new M135i. It's a much more attractive proposition to me now as its all wheel drive instead of rear wheel drive. The fact it's 306 bhp and 0-60 in 4.8 also pings the attention. The visit last week quickly degene...

Re: Courtesy Car

Tasty :D

The sun is shining too!
