fog lights apear to be wired with side lights

Great cars yes, if your 35 and wear a suit to work... slow, handle like boats and look ming

I dont mind an older m3 or the coupe 3 series are alright, but I do not dislike a car more than a BMW



I do know what you mean to an extent but they are very good cars, very well put together, perform as they should etc.

I personally would love one, and I'm not 35 but there comes a time when you just grow out of the hot hatch/Jap car image and want something a little different.

Also, with regards the fogs/side light, the same happens with my Mini. Side lights on and the spot lights come on too, but not as fog lights. If you know what I mean :boggle:


I respect your opinion :) I won't ever own a BMW I don't think, id rather go for an Audi personally, I know what you mean about spot lights too

Thats just one car and one owner.

Theres a 106 GTi driver at the top of my street who is a total knob, always trying to race.

That doesn't make you the same though does it?

BMW are excellent, excellent cars.
