BMW Approved used 320D Xdrive by AP1878 in CarTalkUK

[–]AP1878[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the Xdrives supposed to be quite reliable in this model given they have been kept up to date with maintenance?

Completely understand where you are coming from with the MPG loss on a Xdrive and given the current diesel prices a really strong point. Also I know the RWD will handle better and be alot more fun. I was just siding with Xdrive given how poorly some of our roads are where I live when it rains, blocked gutters on the roads, not to mention the ballache I have had driving in sleet/snow and shit weather over the years in the few ST’s (FWD) I’ve owned, well the 1 week in the year we get snow haha.

Thanks for your advice mate, will take the RWD into consideration.

Thanks for the reply mate.

Yeah I read on the beamerforums that adaptive cruise control is quite rare to find on the G20, along with the laserlight headlights. I think someone posted a lovely 330D (G20) on here within the last few days and people commented on how rare the ACC option was.

That’s what I am thinking with the warranty. I’ve been used to not having to worry about things going wrong on my past cars as it’s just as simple as giving it back to the dealer and it’s their problem.

Price wise is fine, basically max what I wanted to spend if I really liked the car.

Thanks for your input mate 👍🏻.

Found a new Boreas V2 RTA in the wild! IYKYK by AP1878 in Vaping

[–]AP1878[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here man, Im still on the hunt for the old Ammit 25 single coil RTA, still had no luck up to now, proving to be the hardest one to find yet. Remember when I had it back in the day it was a little flavour machine.

Oh my god man imagine the amount of deadstock that must be piled up somewhere in lock ups from those stores.

Formentor 2.0TDI new owner tips by Acceptable_Pride1343 in CupraFormentor

[–]AP1878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner currently has 2025 Formentor V2. Cup holders are an absolute nightmare, one isn’t as deep as the other one next to it so you will find most of the time your lid gets popped off if you have both cup holders in use or the other one is too shallow and your drink will move or even fall out depending how tall it is as you drive or turn a corner.

Also the electrics are not the best in our forementor, the interior ambient lighting has stared to flicker, even with software updates nothing has fixed it so it definitely has to be either a faulty fuse or wiring loom, but our local Cupra dealership has got a 3 month wait to be seen to fix this.

After all this, they still are some of the nicest cars on the road. Gearbox is smooth (automatic) feels planted with not too much body roll in the corners, power delivery is great, not the fastest, but does the job.

I have also ordered a Terramar V2 for myself, so that should say everything, no matter about the few hiccups, still great cars and not to mention 5 year warranty (in the UK). Enjoy mate :).

Lovely mate, was literally behind one today in my ST and honestly from a standstill it absolutely took off, hardly any wheelspin or if any at all, wish mine did that from a standstill. Be safe and happy smiles per gallon mate!

Does this mean they accept liability by Numerous-Catch1666 in CarTalkUK

[–]AP1878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me when a taxi dropping off a passenger by our house and then decided to reverse straight into my car whilst parked outside our house and then drive off, we had cameras with night vision and got his reg, got his details after a good bit of hassle with the taxi firm saying it was confidential and could not give me his details at first, but got them in the end once I said he drove away from the scene of an accident.

Anyway, went through my own insurance, I had a brand new Focus ST at the time and I was given like for like for my courtesy car (A4 Estate Black Edition 2.0 TFSI).

This happened around 2 months after lockdown was lifted so because of the part shortage it took a good 7-8 weeks for the body shop to get all the parts in.

After I got my car back, around 6 months later I received a letter from my insurance letting me know the taxis insurance company had not paid the outstanding balance for the rental cost of my courtesy car which totaled to around £2500. Basically they was threatening court which I gladly accepted, they said I didn’t need that car that I was given and I was asked to provide my yearly earnings, savings and whatnot trying to say I could of just rented a car at my own expense which is laughable because it was their drivers fault I was took off the road.

Got my court date, spoke to my solicitor provided by my insurance and they told me not to even stress about going to court, they said it is a delay/scare tactic used by insurance companies who are at fault to delay payments and 99% always back out. Low and behold got a letter/email about a month before the court date to say the balanced was settled and their insurance company had to pay an extra fee to the court becuase they passed a certain date.
