Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Yeah - they seem a little unconcerned about the osa impact….

I have ps4s on my 997 but they aren’t n rated and are 19s

I did have Goodyear eagle f1s (6 I think) on my Boxster which was on 18s and similar sizes I think - they were pretty good

Eagle F1 get a good rep for the money, quite a few of my friends run them on quite spicy BMWs

Eagle F1 Asymmetrics are my favourite, even though I've got Pirellis on the RS6.

I’ll need a new home for the Carrera five spokes- 18”, lightest Porsche wheels. N rated PS2’s but 6/7 years old now.

There may be a degree of FAFO for many I suspect.

Thermostat sticking open? I’ve had that problem with my e46 320d.

Lovely - which engine?

Thank you, keep looking out the window at it. 530d (M57). That felt like an OK compromise in terms of performance Vs road tax. I'm happy we went IL6.

I’m still looking out for a similar age 330d m-sport manual touring myself.
What mileage and transmission? And how much did you pay?

Are you selling these, if so could be interested…

Go on, treat yourself. Just down the road from me too if that "helps". Mine is a 2010 LCI business edition, 150k miles and full service history. Was up for £4,650 but paid £4,200.

Nowhere to put them, so yes- would shift them when the LM’s were ready

Absolutely ideal (your purchase that is). I think a 335i would kill me at the pump.

Basically been looking at very similar. Keeping it under 150k, msport, 330d, manual for £4k. Almost bought one but it turned out to be a lemon with an ECU fault in the end.

Looking at yours, you’ve made me consider searching for 530ds as well as the 330 and 325ds.

I also want a 330d

Very kind. Touch m-sport door sills it seems good, but obviously early days. My wife drove it at lunch and she approves, so it's staying. Well done dodging a bullet with the lemon. If you can find a dealer local they might let you test drive a 5 series for comparison?

Yeah that's it

Mate you want the twin turbo V6 diesel as fitted to the xf Jag?

Actually thinking about this, is there an issues with pcv valve?
Seems to be a a thing now. If the car is running rough at idle, or down on power it could be a stuck pcv.

Anyone got a empty tin of this gin as I fancy making a catch can out of one.

Thermostat sticking open was the common cause of not warming up.

How would I confirm this? A code reader? - I have one so maybe I'll run it.

It's not noticeable down on power, but I don't drive like a hooligan but in sport it accelerates well enough from stop or at 30 up to 70 if joining a motorway.

New car day!

What is it?

It's a car

Presumably had to switch to a polestar given the shame of owning a Tesla
