Lived in the Arctic (way north Sweden) for 3 yrs, so can fully appreciate winter tyres. Up there they have little metal studs built in, which is illegal in most other European countries. Means you can drive normally comparative to summer driving, with very little degradation in road holding. What I ...

RE: strange noise.......help please

So it whines on the way to work, and not on the way back? Sounds normal to me.

Right, had the E55 AMG today and just a recap, its a 2005 with 27k miles. Here's an overview of my thoughts for those who're interested: AMG is very, very quick but the RS6 feels quicker, even though it isn't. If you boot it in the wet the tail slides all over the place even with ESP on. As such it ...

Karl, you're doing everything right and you have the law firmly on your side provided the dealer failed to notify you of any problems before selling. Grizz will give you an accurate appraisal of the health of your car, which you can send to the dealer in a letter further requesting action. Do NOT ca...

That's as a new car comparison and in many ways I would agree with him. As a used car and with the benefit of hindsight into the quirks of ownership...

Same here. Seems to resolve itself once you're on the move. Doesn't bother me.

Ooh, that's given me the twitch! What a beauty.

Good article from Evo. Damn that BMW! I feel like the straight line adrenaline though as I'm a complete pussy in the corners. 4wd is wasted on me.

I know what you're saying on the mini-cab front. Needs wide arches and big wheels like the 'black' editions. If its good and I turn traitor, I've already planned a few mods. One word...Brabus!
