Well it arrived last night, and as the guy said who delievered it i was like a kid in a sweet shop!!..
I absolutely LOVE it...!!! the noise is brilliant and dont think i woukd get bored of that.....not really driven it in proper again yet, but had a good drive on the north circular last night and some country roads this morning to work and its amazing. The faster you go the lighter it seems to feel and more nimble.
Also impressed with the fuel consumption, done just over 40 miles and the needle hasnt moved from the 1/4 tank mark!!!.

Honestly Carlo i didnt expect it to be that clean but there is not one mark on the bodywork, and the interior is proper mint! all it needs is the wheels doing but maybe tempted to get some CSL wheels at the weekend
So what upgrades can you recommend

Nice one Dan I'm glad you like it
550 for me. 31 and no points. Drive way, nice area, 4k miles I think.
Chip what do you call thirsty?? IMO they are nowhere near the thirsty bracket. I'd say that was 15 or less. *edit* well maybe 18 say which is evo territory.
I leave one of the 2 fuel consumption options on a tally since I got the car. My average in 3k miles is 22.9. bearing in mind this takes in all driving conditions it's pretty good!
Generally day to day it's 26 and on a motorway run I do 31!
*edit*Before you say I shouldnt trust the fuel comp I find it reasonably accurate having checked on milegae to a tank by calculation.

Well dan thought his 325 was thristy, and I suspect that on the same journeys this will be worse.
My mate reguarly single figures out of his
To me personally for a day to day car, if it wont do 40+ I have no interest in it, but I do minimum 30K private miles a year.
Diesel or small petrol only for me for daily drivers.

I dont mind paying for something more fun. I could get single figures out of mine I assume if i drive it hard for long periods.
Luckly i only do about 20 miles per day during the week and about 50 at weekends so wont financialyl cripple me

Seriously thats mental!
Dan said his 325 was doing 14. That seems wrong! Unless its mega town driving, stop-starting all the time. Even then it's shite.
