Welcome back Coasting, thought youd left us.

For general posting, I have.  I will continue to post in reply to those I have previously engaged in decent conversation with though.

Instead of you two getting into another argument why not have a go at me, after all I'm the one who's been having a pop at BMWs on this thread! biggrin1

Go on give it your best shot.

To be honest, I don't even know what a warranty looks like.

My cars have always been so old, the warranty has been but a distant gleam in the dealer's eye.....

I know the feeling. The longest warranty I've ever had is 3 months.

...but it was only for the engine, box and diff.

I have always bought bigger older cars rather than spending my money on a newer smaller more sensible car. I'm getting to the point now where I would just like to get a new car, one that no one else has had a chance to spoil. At the very least I'd like my next car to have only had one previous owner, not four like my BMW.

Peter

I think you've got every right to have a go at BMW's if you think you're not getting what you should be.

I just wonder if we sometimes set our expectations too high.

Swapping to another brand often changes perception though and I for one wanted to be back in a BMW after a matter of weeks.

Lol wish I had never opened my mouth, but I love a good debate.

Coasting did you goto the meet tonight? 

I have always drove Fords in the past. Reliable creatures I must say. But, I do like the way the BMW gives you total confidence in side that shell, you know, if you have to, it will stop, or go round that corner or........

And it doesn't matter if its a 316 or a M3, they are nice to drive. 

Happy driving
