Sytner salesman gave me that spiel, could be wrong? That's correct mate. "We" have 8.5" wide fronts on our CS, when they should be 8". O/T, the car is running brilliantly. Went through an MOT yesterday with flying colours and just renewed the BMW warranty. Happy, if expensive, days!

They're better that way. My first E34 3.6 was ropey as f**k, but it's probably my favourite M5 out of the four I've owned.

Ahaha.
Ha.
Er, no. You laugh. But I think they're majorly classy and a quick google search suggests they made just 45 RHD Mondy T coops (and roughly 450 RHD Mondy coops of any type), so very rare - and that one's got 17k on the clock and looks spankers. So to me looks like value compared to, say, rusty arse-engined Pork with triple-digit mileage. OK. Try and read that again bearing in mind my experience of rhd commie donkeys AND my report after the last rhd Mondy I went to view in a moment of hope over experience. Now pay £30k for the pleasure. Let me know when you wish to join in the laughter.

Modern turbo diesel Beemer.
Moving at reasonable speed - say 0.8-0.9 leptons - full passenger compartment, and driving up an incline. Basically, all the loadings are prevalent.
You feel a momentary hesitance/loss of power through the accelerator pedal. As if someone squeezed a rubber fuel hose for less than a second.
Likely to be a fuel supply issue? Turbo-wobble? Something else? Dirty MAF? Turbo? Fuel pump? I've had this on my 330XD in similar circumstances but haven't got round to taking it in to les local spanner monkeys yet so I'm also

Now pay £30k for the pleasure. Let me know when you wish to join in the laughter. For 30k you're well into 348 money, and near the bottom of the 355 and 360 market. Regardless of your experience that alone make a 30k mondy a relatively expensive entry point IMO.

Id probably get signed off for being a bit mental, which would get me more time to drive it!
The more I think about it the more I regret buying the Z4, its a nice car but its a bit stale. Driving something like that Alfa would make pretty much every journey an adventure!
