Tizzy Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I'd only have a Convertible if a Cooper S. My sister has a Cooper S Works tin-top and (lot's of small problems aside - all fixed by BMW!) it's a cracking car to drive and I'd have one tomorrow if I wanted a supermini sized performance car!!

Drillslinger Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I can't believe they're so expensive over there I specced mine out semi-well and it was STILL $5k cheaper than a US Spec Sportback 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Normally" it's not too bad (Don't know the #'s, but better than my A3) but on the Autobahn... it gets a bit thirsty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaa Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Hey Blaa what's up Nope, haven't sold the A3 (yet) just needed a US Spec car (That we could afford) in case I have to go back to the States (soon) [/ QUOTE ] Well I'm currently selling the BMW 318d Touring I bought in september, and when it's sold I'll probably get myself a Porsche Boxster. You're still stationed in the woods south of Frankfurt?? Can't remember the name.. If I'm that far south maybe we could ?? Hoping a possible buyer would call asap..

Drillslinger Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 A Boxster eh? Well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it And yeah, I'm still down here in Bad Kreuznach, but who knows for how much longer If you don't come down this way, no worries, I WILL be back as often as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
