I have the E93. Late Pre LCI (2010) so N53 Issues to look out for: Misfiring generally caused by Injectors, Nox Senors, HPFP Other issues: Coolant Leaks, 19s prone to cracking (less so with non rfts - Conti Sport 7s currently) - Low to mid 20s MPG, but I don't do many miles. Once you sort the...

In theory it should be open and shut, but depends. I rejected a car within a week and got a refund, but I had a dealer report listing the issues to support the claim (2009 325i Highline). I was a little hesitant to buy it as my test drive was brief and couldn't fully inspect it, but it had the...

For Xbox Open Beta only seems be available on the basis you've pre-ordered it!

10k a month for 10 years. Nothing wrong with £1m, but there's too much temptation for small splurges. It's easy to write a list of what you would do, but those goalposts will likely move in reality.

The point I'm making is that its a stretch to undermine the merits of the R56 in comparison to the R53. I presume you've driven at length / owned both? In any case, happy to agree to disagree.

In my view the R56s have aged better and come with certain features you'd expect from a modern vehicle that the R56 doesn't - nav, auto lights, heated seats etc. As long as they are properly maintained the issues aren't as bad as the internet makes out them to be, only the horror stories tend...

100% go for the N18 if within budget. I've owned a 2011 N14 and currently own a 2013 N18. Timing chains can fail on both, but less likely post 2012. The Cooper S has tuning potential to bring JCW power, but you'd probably regret not just getting a JCW and enjoying it in standard form.

You mean hero moments?

They have their uses, which I'm not disputing.

Because most of the time completely avoidable situations occur because of them simply to justify using or owning one.

At that price, you might want to consider the no excess option. After a few claims with an excess you'd probably end up paying more than the total premium had you not opted for one.

Considering the username, I'm inclined to agree.

Think the point being made is that the sooner you are out of the debt cycle (entirely) apart from mortgage, you eventually free up enough cash to save up to buy any car you want. In most cases, enough cash to buy what tends to be on the road, hatches, coupes, SUVs etc which is a fair point...

Without a doubt. After being stung to the tune of £3k on a TFSI A3, I would never run a car without it (and haven't since). I understand people have a slush fund but they soon whittle away if multiple unrelated issues occur in quick succession. In my view it goes beyond repair work, and take...

As long as the service history is comprehensive neither sound like anything to worry about. I honestly expect to see 100k+ anytime there's a mileage query!

Ironic you post a video of where the law I referenced actually applies.

What time was it? No come backs, the cars been marked with an ASBO in a nutshell, and you received the S59 as it was probably enough to be considered a nuisance. Any one familiar with the inner London roads might know of a PSPO Zone: So I suspect your driving came under one of the above.

Absolutely. At this stage, I'm sure it can be resolved. I suppose my first post came across abit glib, as over time the importance of a plate almost becomes trivial unless the vehicle is all an new model, or LCI in some instances.

After delivery, yes, but presumably you'd notice the plate upon delivery/collection at which point the above questions could be put to the dealer given it would effectively be not as described.

You've not even got it and already thinking about residuals? The plate won't matter so much, the car will in the grand scheme of things.
