Hurrray!!!!!
Finally got my brand new car! Smells so good inside! I'm in love again!!

Its my first diesel car and very impressed! got a 335d M Sport.

YoooooohoooooMuummmmuh! It’s a black beauty!

Hahaha! Well done. AS far as I'm concerned cars only come in one of 2 colours, Black or silver! Did you go for a coupe? Let's see a pic then.

Btw watch out. Your car probably has the same fuel nozzle safety device as mine. It will only accept the wider diesel nozzle. I recently could not get to fill my car as the garage had changed the nozzles due to damage caused by lorries and had replaced the diesel nozzles with the smaller unleaded ones.

make sure you drive safe and don't crash it tomorrow :p anyway have fun with it.. safe driving.

Ouch! That hurt!

Beamer.................







Make the most of it, mate.....

I used to dislike beamers too. If you cannot beat them, then join them

You know, I also hated beamers because of the stereotype image etc etc etc. But, I have to say that BM's are drivers cars. Responsive and you feel in touc with the road although mine does feel a bit lighter than i would have liked when cornering on the motorways at erm, higher speeds.

Sounds better than my car!I've got a Skoda.. but it is a modern one! It's got a heated rear window! - Keeps your hands warm when your pushing it!

Like that!

the wife bought a hat,scarf and gloves today. Should keep her warm on the bus..

Will certainly need it now the weather has changed.

I was looking for a new car in 1996. I test drove the BMW 3-series and Audi A4, amongst others. I found the BMW to be very boring and ordinary. The Audi felt very solid and luxurious. I became an 'Audi man' from that point, and spent a total £150k on new Audis between 1996 and 2003. I sold that car, which I bought in 2003, for £22k when I left UK last December. I guess that the 63% depreciation in 4 1/2 years was a bit disappointing, though!

I hated Audi also peviously but then had one for a couple of years. I will say that i got used to it and was good value for money but I dont think it compares to the Merc. My dream car is the E55 AMG. I just love the lines but cannot justify the cost, even if i had the money.

Diesel

They now cost more to run than a petrol. I've usually always had a diesel, but as the price of fuel has dropped, the gap is still 12p ...whereas is goes up in ratio....so diesel owners are now getting shafted

For every 1p the gap over 8p, if you average 12,000 miles a year, you save £60 per 1p in a petrol, taking into account the cost of the vehicles at the start. So at the moment you'd save around £240 a year with a petrol , and that will only increase.

I just picked up a new petrol Qashqai+2 this week

Totally true about the running costs. How is the Qashqai? I've still not seen one. Let us have a butcher's boss!
