    Need your advice!!

    I know the dealer well - they are good guys. Bought a R8 from David Maundrell a while ago and kept in touch. Decent people to deal with..

    It's on its way

    As mine was a showroom car it had already been pdi'd and fitted. Oh well will work something out. Doesn't look too bad as its mounted low and white on white but will have a look. How are you finding those corsa tyres in the cold? Find mine very tricky to avoid wheelspin until they are well...

    It's on its way

    I was thinking of taking mine off and leaving it in the boot. Problem is the brackets are already fitted so would need to find a neat way to cover the holes so not sure. Wish they hadn't fitted it..

    Did I see a photo of the black beast on supercardriver.com's Facebook feed earlier? ;) Cant be that many about!

    Good evening

    Ok thanks - I had best subscribe then. Had love film for ages but seemed to be getting less and less new stuff on it so cancelled.

    Good evening

    Is breaking bad (season 1 onwards) on any of the on demand services at the moment? Fancy watching it but can't see it on sky - maybe Netflix?

    Granturismo S purchase query - service history?

    I wouldn't worry about the independent service - oftern better than main dealers in my experience. Also if buying from BMW main dealler you still have a lot of comeback if there are any issues under consumer law regardless of warranty or not. If the car looks right and drives well I wouldn't be...

    It's on its way

    That's come around quick. Took mine out for a quick blast to do some Christmas shopping today as not used for a week. Made me grin a lot! :) Just rolled onto 700 miles on the clock.

    Maybe. She is pretty though!

    My Stradale build thread stage 1

    I was stood looking at my Strad the other day thinking that spacers could enhance the stance as the wheels are quite tucked in as standard. Whats the consensus on the H&R spacers? Are there any drawbacks / rubbing issues with them. Don't want to risk stressing other components / wheel bearings...

    Rain sensor / wipers question

    It would have been better to have normal non rain sensing wipers rather than ones that don't work. Surely the sensors etc are all much the same on any car so must have been some special italian programming to make them useless! Lol

    Rain sensor / wipers question

    Sounds like its all "Normal" then :)

    Rain sensor / wipers question

    I seem to have discovered my first real Italianism but not sure if this is normal or just mine - The Rain sensor / sensitivity adjustment on the stork seems to have no effect. Annoying when I just want intermittent wipe on - they seem to not detect rain or go mad thinking its in a car wash...

    Living with a Stradale

    Mine dropped a lot. Got a big discount off from new -£17k I think but still dropped another £30k in 18 months! :omg:

    Living with a Stradale

    What about the white one at Meridian? Sure the harnesses can be swapped back to normal seat belts.

    Red 4 seater Stradale anyone

    Does look good in red! That is list price but there is 15-20k to be had if you push the right buttons which is then good value compared to other new alternatives?

    Living with a Stradale

    I think 10 bhp and rear seats and a extra scoop in the bonnet. Nothing much you will notice to drive. A friend of mine is just ordering a 458 Speciale and his wife is insisting on a cage and harnesses! - Said it must be his driving!

    Stradale delay - advice?

    As all have said very little you can really do physically other than see if you can get some compensation for the delay in some way. I was lucky to find a stock car in the spec I would have chosen as waiting for a factory order would have driven me crazy! See if GP will lend you something nice...

    Living with a Stradale

    Hi, I have owned all the above cars you have mentioned so can hopefully give you some insight. I have a new MC Stradale (just rolled onto 500 miles) so not an expert owner but have a good feel for it now. I would say the nearest car I have had to the Stradale is my old XKR (mine was a 2012...

    What other cars have you owned?

    Crikey found someone with more of a car changing habit than me :) Quite some list. I loved my 944's at the time. Quite fancy finding a nice one again.
