Great cars..over the years I have had 5 hondas including the ep3 type r ....I got one in 2020 brand new ...cars sitting at just over 40k on the clock now and apart from regular service tyres and brake pads, i haven't had to spend a penny on it and no problems with it at all...like absolutely zero! Car looks great has loads of room..the cabin is a nice place to be good sound system all the mod cons! Car pulls great! Not in focus st territory but goes well for the power it has and im averaging 36.8mpg...and eco mode is always switched off and i have a heavy foot in 2nd and 3rd, the only issue i have is on windy roads when giving it the beans the back end feels a bit sketchy! Michelin tyres grip well but the rear suspension seems to flop about a bit... apart from that great cars👍

So I ended up buying the Cooper S. Pre-LCI that still has the pops. My experience with the car thus far. The suspension is stiffer than I expected. Not unbearable but fairly stiff for a hatchback and not as forgiving as other hatchbacks in its class. Not as comfortable as the 3 previous hatchbacks I've owned. Feels solid and firm and premium, but slightly too firm for long road trips and bad roads. I think the golf and polo are a bit more comfortable in terms of suspension and absorbs bumps a little better. Having said that, it's really fun and sounds so much better than a Polo GTI. The car feels solid and premium and has a bit of weight to everything. Handling around corners is surprisingly good for only an S.

Amazing car, drives supreme, however, I just sold mine for a Volvo V90 Cross Country Ocean Race D5 Polestar. I can honestly say the Volvo runs rings around the BMW for build quality. The BMW was very susceptible to side winds at 70 mph +, the doors also felt very tinny when shutting them. The Volvo on the other hand is built for the business, it might not look as snazzy as the BMW but is heads and shoulders above it in regard to safety, build quality and the x factor. Besides, every Tom, Mom, and Dom have a beemer, quite literally

Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use kzbin.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.

With a few mods like LSD, remap and emmision delete, this car has 330hp 580lbs torque 170mph top speed and over 60mpg in real world driving, over 900 mile tank range. With that LSD diff & remap 0 to 60 is sub 5 secs, so much extra traction and braking stability without all the weight of 4WD.

@@philipmcrae1152 I agree with you. This is the dilemma for me I do want the luxury of a 5 series as my 3 series lacks in that department. However it’s hands down the best diesel I’ve had in terms of performance and I know I’d miss that a lot and I don’t want to regret it. I just wish bmw gave the U.K. the 540d and/or the 550d like they did to other countries. Would’ve ticked every single box for me :/

Ballast!!! Better job with 1:2:4 mix. I part cement 2 parts sharp sand 4 parts 20mm gravel. This mix should cost little more than ballast and will be much stronger and durable. Ballast can vary in proportions of stones in the mix and often contains fine sands and silts that weaken the ‘concrete’.
