(Sorry to hi-jack the thread)!

Yes I've done about 1000 miles with them and they have improved a lot really strong at the rear, front is OK well better than that, but not as good as it used to be (that's how I feel) but I think I might need a KDS after 41k.

I will be doing, deposit is down.

Getting an F80 isn't an option contributions and discounts are not great. I was looking at new C63 as they have good discounts currently but couldn't find a stock/slot to get the spec I wanted.

So spotted this C63s with exactly what I wanted apart from the 360 camera. It looks spotless, although i'm taking their word for it. But they do have a very good name so i'm happy.

Looking forward to a change after 6 BMWs and always wanted a fast estate.

That is great news, lovely car you have picked especially in that colour.

Romans are very very good, I sold my 911 to them. Amazing cars selection and very easy to deal with.

If you are popping down this was let me know, would be good to meet up..

Well all being well i'll be down there on the 27th to pick up. Not sure how much time i'll because there will be a 4 hours drive home as well. But if your around then could grab a brew.

Wills2 · 05-19-2017, 02:17 PM

Ah Romans, very swish! Just had a look at it on their website looks fantastic.

Vroom Vroom!

Voom Voom!

Just happened to have the exact spec I was looking for!! Looking forward to pickup, just to see the other cars

Wills2 · 05-19-2017, 02:27 PM

The interior is lovely with the seats and carbon , estate looks so much better than the saloon, really nice. Sports exhaust as well and night pack.

Will be a beast.

I've tried going back to a normal BMW after having M cars and they just don't cut it, so I understand why you have done this, I only had my 335d for 6 months before getting back into a proper car.

Chompers · 05-19-2017, 03:39 PM

That's my old stomping ground!!! knew as soon as I seen the pic that it was Romans. Enjoy the new car

Some interesting comments here on the 4S tyres...

A couple of people are saying the side wall is softer. Improves comfort but is affecting accuracy.....

dopper99 · 05-19-2017, 05:41 PM

BTW, have you test driven this one foggy. You dont want to make the same mistake twice.

Although there should be nothing not to like about a C63s.

Test drove the non-s saloon. So not quite the same but close enough I hope

For anyone thinking there was anything wrong with the 540i there wasn't and most would probably say i'm mad walking away from it. But for me the whole point of buying the M3 last year was to buy myself something special that I would keep, obviously that didn't work out for for reasons out of my control.

When I bought the 540i I lost site of my goal to buy something special, and whilst it is really nice car it's is not that special car I should have bought.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the new beast. One things for sure, it'll be quick. Especially compared to your 540i.
