Re: Nearly time to say Auf Wiedersehen

[quote="pvr"] I got a A3 Sportback as well (not quite S3 but just S line :)) ), just keep in mind that if you look at the consumption figures they quote that they are way, way and again way off. Mine is quoted at 55.6 mpg, I get 30 and that is driving with the lightest foot. They do drive well ...

Re: Sytner BMW - Advice on price asked for these 2 X5s

The problem you have is the car is at Sytner. Worst dealers i have ever used. They inflate verything and dont discount. In 2011 i went to my dealer to order a 520d m sport company car. They wouldnt negotiate on price. The fleet manager turned around and told me that this is the price and its obvious ...
