Back in a BMW

alanm73 · 02-20-2010, 06:11 PM

Well after 8 long months of Mondeo ownership since I sold my E81 120d M Sport are almost over

Spent the past month of looking at 4x4's, Merc's, Audi A4 (with the worst offset driving position ever) I have done the wise thing and bought another BMW before my wife divorced me and daughter disowned me due to our weekend garage trips.

I've bought an ex demo 320d in Bluewater with Leather, Bluetooth, Sun Protection Glass, Visibility Pack and 19" 269 BMW Motorsport Wheels. Drives very well feels a bit softer than the 120d was and it corners like its on rails, hopefully pick it up on Wednesday.

Nice wheels. Are they the 269 BMW Performance wheels?

Neil McRae · 02-21-2010, 06:05 AM

yah, been through the same situation, got pissed off with BMW dealers so looked at other stuff. Sadly though nothing was quite as good a drive as BMW. 911C2S too light at the front, 911C4S too heavy at the front and a pig when you turned PSM off. Audi feelingless steering, Merc, too wallowy, Lotus, too wife unfriendly, saab - just a turd full stop.

Yes they are 269 BMW Performance Wheels, looks good on them and does not ride as bad as you would think on them.

I will take some more shots once it arrives and i give it a quick once over and a coat of Zymol
