Chuffin b**locks!!!!

not that im not happy with my purchase of my 07 zermatti silver gs all the way from kent but 3 days after i purchased it another kent dealer has a tambora flame with black leather ,2k less miles than mine and £350 cheaper than what i paid.

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

i wanted tambora but couldnt find any in my price bracket so went with my second choice of zermatti.

some1 please tell me it was theres and they screwed the norks out of it and it was dropping to bits and im lucky i didnt end up getting that1 and the leather was all ripped and the sunroof was faulty and the heated front windscreen was playing up and the tyres were ball'd and it had a knocking noise coming from the front end and the exhaust was smoking badly.......................................................................please



oh well back to enjoying my new toy like the murphy's as they say

I'll put you out of your misery.

I admit it, that Tambora model was mine, I thrashed it to within a inch of its death .... boy does that engine love 5k+ rpm !!, oh and the tyres, they just love cornering on the edge, problem was I kept hitting the kerb when they let go, I guess thats why the steering wheel was always about 60 degrees out in a straight line, oh and then there was our incontinent dog, hell we love her to bits bits but she would insist on crapping in the most unfortunate places, she just loved the car. Then there was the misfiling incident, I know LR said we should change a load of fuel system stuff but the lads in the back street garage reckoned I was OK with just draining the tank. Oh and did I mention the trailer we towed with it, I know the handbook says that 2000kgs is the limit, but actually it managed very well with our boat on the back, I know it was 3000kg but it really did manage very well, although there was always a strange smell when we had to maneuver on that steep slipway, and sometimes the brakes were kind of spongy after long downhill sections.

Hey but not withstanding all these 'little' problems I can thoroughly recommend the car if you're thinking of buying it ....

Was it going cheap, hey you missed a bargain

if it was a york dealer offering you a TF with black leather interior on a 07 plate and complementary rattle in the boot when the subwoofer is on higher than 5. (and a sign hidden in the boot for £22995 )

complete with a empty green petrol can in the rear footwells

Then you missed out on the lovely sound of the i6 engine that meets the rev limiter in every gear in command mode and is averaging 16mpg at the moment

sounds like the dealer has been living in a news black out for the past few months ...

that car will be the first courtesy car to receive a long service award ....

NP you really have to turn teh subwoofer setting all the way down otherwise the whole rear of the FL2 rattles and it is especially bad when standing outside the car.

However.....the Alpine system I personally think is great and is a world away from the Bose system in my porker, which is...how do I say....pants!

The Harmon Kardon system in the 3-series is apparantly not great, especially when compared to the FL2, but the 3 does have neat little arms which push your seat belt forward automatically, making it easy to grab...now that is something I think every car should have!  Once you've tasted GREY you'll never go back!
