So my parents are away and i thought i'd be a good son and wash all the cars well today i've washed mine, mums and my sisters

anyway... mums car is a 54 plate with about 30K miles on it, perfect BMW service history etc, perfect condition, anyway i looked at how much it would be worth and it came out at roughly 6,500!!! i was shocked!! so i did some insurance searching and for me it would cost me £1,100 to insure it if i bought it... mum doesn't know this yet but i'm tempted to buy it off her... what do we all reckon?

(the blue 3 series)

Done a good job there Rob. Question is, would your mum want to sell for that?

Are your parents minted as that's a fair garage like!

Single garage, rearranged and photoshopped together. ;)

As for the car, whilst it might seem nice at the moment, soft-tops aren't the best of cars for the winter. Maybe your mum will swap with you, if you ask her?

My parents had that shape E46 convertible and was fine in the winter the roof never leaked, just louder when driving at speeds in a soft top.

Plus any RWD BMW is a handful in winter :lol:

BMW did some research among their 1 series owners and found Somethkng like 80% thought they were fwd so that may account for some of the issues in winter :lol:

Looks good rob
 
Looks good fella, when can i drop mine around!

Personally you suit the 1 series, why go bigger!
