peterb Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Spoke to my neighbour across the road last night - he's having a BMW 1-series delivered on Monday, to replace the Z4! It's bad enough having to look out on his two BMWs, but if one of them becomes a 1-series ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Apply to the council to object to his purchase. There must be some sort of action you can take for lowering the tone of the neighbourhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallachie Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Get one of those electric tazer gun thingys from Too Fast Too Furious, and shoot it during the night to totally disable it, it will then be taken away by BMW. Repeat this process until he gets rid of it for good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil330 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 If its a 130i M Sport, i'd be happy to have it as my neighbour! If it was a 116i in that awful blue with those crap alloys, then i feel for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Just call the council, pretend to be your neighbour and request a 'refuse uplift' advising that the rubbish will be left at the end of the drive way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32North Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 BMW seem to be putting some really small, naff looking alloys on their cars these days. Too small too thin, stuck in under the arches. Both the new 3 and 5 series seem to be afflicted. Simply add a nice set of 17" or 18" alloys that fill the arches and it transforms the look of the car - have BMW forgotten that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 If it's a 130i M Sport or a 120d Sport then your neighbour has bought a cracking....and swift (and very swift in the case of the 130i)...little motor. I've driven a 120d Sport and it was like a refined go-kart. A genuinely fantastic fun car to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he had a 320d but had so many problems with it that he got the dealer to buy it back and supply a 320i instead. I don't expect the new car to be anything more exciting than the 120i.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm going to regret saying this, but I must admit I was quite impressed by the track driver that took me out in his 120d company car not long back. Sideways around every single roundabout in Ipswich. Quick too. First thing he did after starting the ignition was turn off the traction while muttering the words "We'll have that off. That's for girls.." If you can get over it's horrid looks and plasticky, badly thought out interior, it does handle well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
