ST is a great car for what it is

Beemer Msports are lovely but i hate convertables so that ruins it for me hardtop or no hardtop

Cossie is just awesome fun untill they break

All very different

Comfort is the ST

Drive is the BM

Hooligan and giggles is the cossie

I can beleive it...

I though it was one of the worst cars i had ever driven. To be fair i though it was the fact that the one i drove had done 100K but now you have said about it i could have been wrong!

I shud have said "best all rounder"...and honestly the best one is the st...not at all wooly!
For a big car it handles well but manages to remain comfortable.gearbox and clutch is lovely and the boot is massive!

Beemer is gorgeous,looks nice,goes well enough and is surprisingly comfy for an m sport but if I'm honest I found the gearbox notchy and the steering too light

Cossies mental,love it to bits and it's probs the car I'd choose out of the three but the uber heavy clutch,hard suspension and loud exhaust soon get old in traffic lol

Love the tag...if u don't care,don't read the thread

Nar mate..I didn't think they would either!..he did however give me a full re-fund..when I fire the laptop up later,I'll check everythings gone through and I'll update the thread.

He recons one of the items actually did turn up in the end..you think he's bullshiting or he actually was really unlucky?

I think he's full of shit, and he got caught out, but fair play to him for refunding us though.
