You mean your Dad paid 30K and you gloat about it being yours. Fact of the matter is mate, its a BMW and thats it. Its nothing to be jealous of. Come to Southall with it and you'll find that every 20year old has one. And its a 335d, that hardly anything to be jealous of. My eldest brother has a E92 M3 and as far i know, thats the top of the range 3 Series.
When BMW sell you the car they tell you and then make you sign a piece of paper saying not to turn the TC off. Insurance companies are aware of this which when they plug in the Widget, your Insurance automatically becomes void and you will have to bend over for anyone claiming injuries because you thought you were Nick Heidfeld!!!
Yes they can!
ROFL
It doesn't have to be a mod. The fact that BMW make you sign a piece of paper stating you not to the TC off is all they need a copy of.

bmw making you sign anything is only to cover their arse so the ambulance chasers dont go knocking on their door.
unless theres a specific clause in the policy i cant see the insurance being void because it was turned off.

Ill Informed??? I was with my brother the day he picked his M3 up and the dealer made it clear what he was signing.
Regardless if you bought it off your dad. Its still a Diesel 335D and its nothing to be jealous of. So stop making it out as if your driving a fucking Ferrari!!!!

You dont sign fuck all.. (YOU said all bmw's which is deffo wrong)
Ill check with my mates with M3's too see if they signed anything.
I know you had to sign to say you would not use the Cup sport tyres on the CSL in the wet. Not about disabling DSC.

They have been making people sign since the E46 M3 (Inc CSL). They make it CLEAR with speech and a reading lesson that should you turn the Safety Systems off you'll be having to take it in the ass!!!

Maybe mate.. You did say for every bmw which is 100% wrong.
Most of my m3 friends drive with it off. I will ask them.
hand overs usually do take hours. Unless your in with a dealer.. Then it can take minutes (okay 20-30)

If it was such an important feature to have on a car and have all the hooha about turning it off - then surely they'd just remove the ability to disable it?? I can't see ANY valid reason why it would be necessary to have it turned off.
But, just to show my position on this - if it's a feature supplied on the car (wether turned on or off) and the car is insured accordingly, UNLESS the insurance states otherwise, I can't see how they can't pay out!!

If I was anticipating, and could afford to buy a car like that, I would be thinking about servicing costs, residual values, insurance costs etc, but not repair costs for minor accidents and if I had taken all those things into consideration, still decided to buy the car, but got swept off my feet by something like what happened to that poor fella, I'd be pissed and rightly so I think.

why would bmw make you sign a bit of paper saying your insurance is void if you turn of the dsc ? It has fuck all to do with them and if it was the case it would be the insurance company that would make you sign something to say that you aint insured if you crash with the dsc off.
They do however refuse warrenty claims on some smg cars if you have used the lauch control 4 million tims and he gearbox blows up APPARENTLY, which is another load of shite imo if the function is there you should be able to se it.

read the thread on the GTR owners board of people who HAVE bought them and CAN obviously afford them.
Wally
This is a very very very big reason to not get one if you ask me!
just obscene...
I think I read somewhere that the car HAS to have these as the bonnet is too close to the engine to get through the lastest safety regs

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!

If you choose to turn it off in any car can anyone justify to the insurance why it was exactly that you did so in the event of an accident. If you had a major accident and it was found that it could have been prevented if the car was being driven with all its safety features on you may well be high and dry. In the eyes of your insurer you must take all REASONABLE steps to prevent loss or damage. As i said earlier under normal driving conditions who can explain why they needed to switch off any driver aid??
Its the risk we all take.
As for being able to afford one, i can't see many people being happy about shouldering obscene repair costs. Imagine being on a trackday and hitting some debris and it activating the safety feature. Thats an expensive days playing regardless of your financial situation.

Sometimes it's not just being able to afford it. I'd be gutted at handing 11k over for such a tiny job no matter what my financial picture was!
Agree with Porkie, it is a major thing to put you off ownership.

There IS a separate issue with insurance, where companies HAVE refused to pay out as the safety devices were disabled, but the BMW signing paper thing is a seperate issue.

I haven't got anything constructive to add, just wanted to ask if I should open the Hob-Nobs or Bourbons before the next 2 pages of arguing starts?

the short version:
the new nissan gtr35 skyline thingy
to save pedestarians it costs Ł11k to replace the bonnet when you hit one
apparently, this is par for the course for owning an expensive car and in the same leauge as having to replace the air in the tyres of yout veyron every 500 miles at a cost of Ł36k
the long version:
can be foudn here
