My wife wants a Beamer 318i

[Rangier Rover]

My wife has been offered an 05 BMW 318i. Seems a nice car and I do like it. Has low kays well serviced. Silver with mags etc. Price is around 17K
If she gets this thing something has to go.

MJ Triton duel cab. In great nick, trouble free and daily driver for her.

The 89 Rangie

The 120. I can't do with out it anyway.

I can't part with any of them:(

Problem is to many rego's:(

I think as nice as the beamer is it will get destroyed out here in time. It also can't tow.



Have suggested to my wife to wait a bit and we may look at a Rangie sport.
I got a blank look.

Sorry mate I can't offer you any advice , I know the 120 " is a good vehicle around the Farm,but to be fair you have 3 vehicles and the Missus has none. :D

I guess I should buy her the car and she should pay the rego:D

Its only fair the wife gets a car she wants as well. Sell what she now uses as a daily runner and replace it with the Beamer?

I thought something like that as well.

No one will wave to us any more as the beamer will have the wrong image;)

If my wife ask me for a Beamer I get a R1150GS :D

Hmmm... Come to think of it......She has a bike licence so plausible:twisted:

[slug_burner]

If it was me, the Triton would go to make way for her BMW.

You can tow with the 120 or rangie, how many tow vehicles are required in one family?

She just needs to get it out of her system, the 318 may even be too small for the shopping, but you have to learn for yourself.

Have you driven it yet? 318's are pretty slow :( (not compared to a Landie I guess!).

[mjm295]

Once you get that badge looking at you from the steering wheel, you forget how to drive....My Mate had one as a hire car, and nearly killed the both of us. It was slow, cramped and uncomfortable too.

Give me my Volvo back anyday.

My missus wants a D3....

But she is Dreaming....

She can stick with the Volvo 740

I'm trying to talk her out of it.. It would not even clear our drive way let alone plug through the mud when it rains.

Says she would be happy with the Mitsu wile it's reliable and the Rangie when its built up and finished. Not sure how it will be as a daily driver being a blown 8 though:eek:

In the ideal world I'd get her a Rangie Sport but can't extend my self to the $$$$ unless a miracle happens.

This could all change again tonight though:D

Some ladies change their mind like the weather can these days.


If the beamer comes looks like the Mitsu goes. Probably the most trouble free vehicle we have here so may be like jumping out of the fry pan into the fire I seem to think:(

I don't know what differences there are between bmw models but I drove a 2003 318i..... It had to be one of the most uncomfortable and gutless cars I have driven. It was manual and even when you revved it hard it just didn't inspire anything.... The pedals were soooo close together so I had to take off my shoes to drive it... Also squashy inside the cabin.

I did like the tv in the dash though so when I was out side waiting I just watched grumpy old men :)

I think over all the are a good reliable car.... the people I know with them have not had any issues but..... I never really got why someone would buy one except for image.

There would have to be much nicer cars for around the same cost. So, I may be looking at if your wife wanted sporty, image, comfie....??? And narrowing it like that.

[mike 90 RR]

.... Buy her a RAV 4 ..... Chicks in the city luv em :angel:

Don't forget the camels head / sunnies & hat :p

I should add ours was a 328I. Big difference

[Rangier Rover]

I'm really adamant to axe the 318 idea. Just not practical here:( BMW's are nice but any thing under an X5 wont cut it here. Please don't mention Toyota's:mad::p On principal:D


Tough,Reliable,Soft, Comfy....... 4BD1 powered LSE soft dash:twisted:

Should be able to knock one up for around 15k:eek:
