happened on the motorway?
typical BMW driver, you were probably going 110mph trying to undertake a row of cars before diving in and pinching somebodys braking zone and then sitting on the car in fronts arse for the next 5 miles even though they are also doing 90mph.
and then lost control in a undertaking drift manouver, blaming it on a 'blowout'

on the way to work, doing just under 70 in the middle lane. Lost all power so put the hazzards on and let it drive to a hault onto the laybye.
Well annoyed, that £100 down the drain for another decent tyre to replace the current blown one, gonna get it sent away - to get it checked.

well, any 'proper' BMW driver would sit behind the lorry flashing their full beams before undertaking on the hard shoulder then shooting back accross 3 lanes of traffic before accelerating to 110mph and braking really late behind the car infront and sitting 3 inches off their back bumper, all whilst changing the CD in the multichanger and chatting on the phone.

I actually really like BMW's. I enjoyed the RR day we did for the owners club. If I get a chance I may even buy a 1998 M3 EVO as an every day car soon.

yes mate, I was worried about how I would get used to driving like a BMW driver so I worked out that the easiest way is to just take my brain out before going out in the morning.
and no, Im not annoyed that my teeny weeny 1.6 made less power than your massive heavy 2.5 standard engine.

nice, I've yet to race one of those, had a good race against a R5 turbo, think they supposed to be similar speed to vts. I know the one you're on about, Driver looks about 12, last time i saw it he has a for sale ad in the window and was giving it abuse.

Its so funny when people do that, and typically it'll say on the window ad 'low mileage and well looked after'

I hated my VTR. Kept it for 6 weeks then sold it again.
Yes, it shifted but I felt like I was sat in a rattling bucket. Think I felt that there was nothing of substance between me and the lorries. Bit of a worry when you do a fair amount of busy town driving.
But, each to their own.
