Re: BMW x drive 335d

I hear you all in terms of diesel, but i was looking for a German estate, preferably new, quick (less than 5 secs) with good handling which was cheaper to run and own than a C6 RS6. I looked at a new or nearly new RS4 and wasnt impressed. The cost seems too high and its dated compared to the newer c...

Re: BMW x drive 335d

Oooh, dirty diesel! Seen the news today? The UK is on the NOx naughty step! 4.9? That's an age! The emissions on the new diesels are very low, its the older cars pre 2010 that are the issue, not diesel in general. My C6 RS6 was 4.6...and drank fuel like no tomorrow. Its emissions were pretty poor t...

BMW x drive 335d

After selling my C6 RS6 I have finally put an order in for a x drive 335d touring. For anyone that doesnt know the stats on these they shocked me, 0-60 in 4.9 (4.8) for the saloon, 4 wheel drive, £150 tax per year, 50mpg combined. I guess i wont get that. Its nearly as fast as the old M3. The deals ...

Re: Performance upgrades in order of cost benefit

As always, it depends if you mean just engine performance, or overall car performance, but here are my ideas in cost/benefit order for overall car performance (just IMO): 1. Air filters (ITG circa 145 + 20-30 BHP more with mapping) 2. Spacers (circa 140 and better handling due to wider stance) 2. S...

Performance upgrades in order of cost benefit

Stage 2/3 Remap Air filters - is there a straightforward winner/recommendation here? Remap (any recommendation near Leeds?) Considering keeping my car for another co...

Re: Oil top-up query

I've had to put roughly a litre in in last month, I had a service in March so quite similar to yourself.

Selling my Rs6

I've decided to put the motor up for sale. It was a hard decision as its the best car I've owned, but we want to move house and this money will help. Its running perfect, as having an Audi warranty I'm quick to take it in if i think anything is wrong! I've put it up on autotrader at a price which ma...

Re: Pre-purchase advice / buyers guide

It was lovely. I came VERY close to pulling the trigger. The car was ideal to be honest, but we couldn't agree on the finance/price etc. The offer on my rs4 was beyond silly (it's a cat d due to seat theft and has high mileage but still...) we ended up being about 1000 quid apart. The only thing th...
