    Here it is the new BMW M2

    Have those residual values been underwritten by BMW by way of a GFV? I don't follow your numbers on 3 year costs?

    Here it is the new BMW M2

    Interesting statement. Leaving the subjective looks aside, & given that there are only 400-500 due to land in the UK, what makes you think the 1M residuals couldn't be viewed as a precedent? I'm sure someone here had a link to a website that showed how many of each model BMW had sold? Can...

    Here it is the new BMW M2

    That's my thinking, but the PCP package doesn't launch until November 6th. On the basis that they'll be sold by then, we've just put a deposit down today...

    987S IMS Failed - Excuse to 3.8?

    My engine had done 113k, so I guess it comes down to whether a new or rebuilt bottom end attached to a 113k top end is better than a lower mileage engine swap? I didn't know, but figured that mixing top & bottom ends was unrealistic, but if a swap was likely to be a better option than a...

    987S IMS Failed - Excuse to 3.8?

    Where've you seen that? I don't really understand what bits are in the bottom end & what aren't, & there was speculation that the damage might not be limited to the bottom end. Does a 997S bottom end fit my top end? Does that equal 3.8? :o

    987S IMS Failed - Excuse to 3.8?

    It's just getting a handle on the realistic possibility / cost involved. I don't know what 997S engines go for, or what else if anything is required. If the total cost is going to be five figures then I'm not interested, but if it'd be under that then it'd be worth considering as it's...

    987S IMS Failed - Excuse to 3.8?

    "Hmmm, that sounds odd" *smoke* "Oh" More or less what happened... :o It happened a couple of weeks ago, apparently spark plugs are crushed & a whole heap of other expensive oily stuff I don't understand... :( Specialist Cars of Malton & Revolution both said I could only swap like...

    987S IMS Failed - Excuse to 3.8?

    The engine in my Boxster is toast. A second hand engine looks to be cheaper than a rebuild, but what is involved with swapping the engine out of a crashed 997S instead of another 987S?

    Criticism? I was just discussing? :confused:

    Show Us Your Motors!

    I'm clear that it's more money to buy (or at least run) a new car, but I wondered what the TCO numbers looked like in comparison when factoring in forecasted residual value of each car & the lower warranty costs of the new car. If you specced your perfect F10, in the spec you want (535i M...

    Show Us Your Motors!

    With the deals being discussed on new F10s in this thread, did you do the numbers on a brand new one? Or does it start to fall apart when you start ticking options boxes?

    Dell P2815Q @ 1440p

    This works for Windows, but not for the office database, which apparently doesn't want to scale... :( Surely it must be possible for a 2160p monitor to output at 1440p instead?

    Dell P2815Q @ 1440p

    I've tried making text smaller or larger, but that doesn't have the desired effect on some of the applications that are running. Is UI scaling the same thing that I refer to above? I'm sure I remember being able to set a zoom level as a percentage? Did that die with Windows 8.1 or am I...

    Dell P2815Q @ 1440p

    Morning all, Facing a problem here, as I've just bought a collection of Dell P2815Q monitors for the office. I'd hoped to give the team a bigger desktop to work with, but it seems that the 4K resolution is too high for comfort for some. I'd seen this coming, & for those staff I figured I'd...

    I don't understand the thought process behind scrimping & trying to save part of £17 in the context of the depreciation/repayments of a five figure car?

    :( I didn't even bother looking at the sales as it so often seems like the latest award winning stuff isn't included & they only use the sales to flog off the kit that they wouldn't otherwise be able to shift...

    Camera Newbie - Advice Needed

    The view finder tilts but isn't a free angle jobbie. Is the X-M1 better than the DMC-G6?
