...whats the best thing to do when you get your brand new m3 that cost over 60k and has a huge waiting list...

... throw it at the nearest heavy object. 1000 miles on the clock and written off, how stupid are some people!

Re: not a g,but...

Yes, I agree, our societies are becoming places where many people with way too much money and way too little sense live.

I am so glad that I am waiting for the weekedn to start so that I can ditch my brand new Volvo company car and use my 16-year old G-Wagen instead...

Time to reduce that gene pool again.

The wheels look good though. Will they fit on a G?

Re: not a g,but...

no it wasnt sadly, my hire car days are over with the purchase this very morning of an old 190e for 795 of my hard earned pounds, i was fed up with arguing with norwich union over courtesy cars so i bought a car which sadly means they, throught being brutally useless, have won! tidy little motor tho!

as for the beemer, that was at asm autos along with a rolls, rr sport that looked like it had been through a crusher and lots of brand new minis that wre there due to a dealership being flooded! interesting place!

Hey, beige, red or white 190s last nearly as long as G wagens. Good move.

Re: not a g,but...

i'd love an M3 but the idea of beening seen by the world as the average M3 driver fills me with horror.
Is if just me that thinks most BMW's are being driven by the older generation?

Re: not a g,but...

the beemer that smacked into the side of my car was a 550i estate driven by a mid 50's man in slippers, the car was actually his dads, that count as older generation?

Re: not a g,but...

Just by looking at it, I am surprised the car is a CTL. My guess would have been that 15k euros ought to be enough; and with a fully comprehensive insurance...almost anything goes :wink:
