they are fucking HUGE motors though gotta be said,, i thought it was a 5 series when i seen it parked in MY parking space at work,,,, though i did hope it was my company car that i been trying to get

325 aint nowt special Ginge, though is a sweet motor, you should test drive 335d or petrol. Only heared good reviews.

I been test driving a BMW 330d convertible today with mate which he eventually bought. Though i test drive it with roof down, 1/2 mile up road it starts to piss down! Fucking typical!

mate i PROMISE you its alot better than MY 325 hence the comparison,,, and the 2 miles to the curry house through central london dont matter if i was driving a mini of a jet car,,,,,, i was doing 20mph

it IS a nice motor though,,,, not compared to a 335 i agree,, but he never had one of them,,, so i had to drive his PERSONAL 325,,, not bad considering i met the guy 2 hours before imo

mate i thought that MY bm was ok to be fair,,,, not perfect but good


the NEW range is just quality and then pop into a ford showroom and SEE and FEEL the difference,,, seriously its sooo different its un beliveable to say the least !!!!

325 is a basic model,,, feels better than the new mondeo titainium inside and there SHIT LOADS of room in there

the reason cars look god in white is cause they was all done in silver instead from 1999 onwards,,, now in 2007 the white looks rare,,,,, its still the same car

infact ive noticed a few new cars in white these days

White always makes me think of the Hertz rental cars you get on holiday, but certain cars nowadays just look fantastic in white. Though then again, there's certain cars that have always looked great in white, like the Integra Type R's

gallardo has normal doors which open out like your car does, the lago has the flip up doors.


the new m3 will be immense and will be quicker than the rs4. similar weight but less trans losses and same power. Bm always conservative with power and 0-62 times anyhow!

i know thats why i said there gay,,, i work with a guy who owns one ( maybe i should claim it as mine,, what you think )

another thing is the driving position is PISSED on it,,, the steering wheel is off to one side and the pedals off to another,,,,, not actually a nice car to drive though ive only ever sat in it

It does look very very cool.

BMW took a big gamble with this new look and I didn't like it at first, but now, its grown on me!
