Smile Sean_VTS' new automobile....

After a tough year last year with my gf being in and out of hospital I had to break up the Saxo to help out with everything.

The time came where I had the money to go out and get a new car......

Literally had no idea what to look for so looked at a stupid amount of cars and finally settled on a BMW.....

Pics speak 1000 words.

BMW 325ci sport acs3.







Lovely to drive, comfortable, quick and handles well.

All the extras so was pleased.

Wasn't long before I wanted to change a couple of bits.

I replaced the standard business tape player HK system with a highly rated dynavin v5 sat nav unit.



Totally changed the car. So nice to have iPhone integration and Bluetooth!!

Next changed my front grills from chrome to black

Before


After


Much better

Then I painted my dial needles red and put in a carbon fibre dial surround and 330ci dial rings.



More to follow!

Strangely it's cheaper for me to insure this that it was the VTS

I'm currently getting 24.7mpg around the town.

Issuance on this is only £585 a year lol I'm 23 though.

I didn't think that it was too bad! Killer to fill up at almost £80 a tank from empty

Thanks mate. The older ones are defo better IMO the e36 and e46 are lovely. Although I do like the new shape 3s the only nice looking bmws now are the mpower IMO. It's a shame that trying to make cars be more environmentally friendly means that they make them fucking ugly!

What's your grandad got? My gfs dads merc sl600 does 8mpg lol

I agree, m power ftw

Hes got a bentley continental flying spur
its the fastest four door production car ever made (apart from the new 'speed' one which is a few mph faster)
top speed 195 mph, 6 litre W12 twin turbo
sorry if i sound like abit of a twat, i lap up the opertunity to show off abit, oh and because of a farm insurance policy im insured on it (im 17) lol, not that ill ever be allowed near it
whats the merc got? must be abit of a beast to get mpg that low lol, i think the bentley only uses half the engine (one V6) until you give it the beans

yeh i seriously love that car, it really is an animal, i live next door to him and when it starts up it shakes the house down. but on the other hand because its a bentley (this is probably the same with that sl) it just quietly hums until you really rev it. ive been driven in it twice and the best thing about it.....the massaging seats

I was going to get a ti but found this at a cheap price so went with it! My next car will be an m3 no doubt in my mind. I would have got 1 but couldn't warrant the mpg on it as I would be using it as a daily driver
