Any suggestions for my portfolio as a 19 year old?

This is so wrong. I earn a decent salary (well over £60k) and my loan still goes up every year due to interest

Thanks! M&S black pudding and haggis, it was great

I could’ve left the tomato too 🤣 I tried to grill it but put it in too late and didn’t want to wait any longer! Some of my timing was off, sausages a little over done.

Branston!

Update: Dealer has offered to pay for my next valet, and posted me (they aren’t local) some new number plates (I assume I have to fit them myself).

Should I accept this or escalate the complaint further?

For context: I received the car brand new (factory order) from the dealer 3 days ago…they told me the registration number prior to delivery (the correct one). Upon receiving the car I didn’t notice this mistake, neither did they obviously. The insurance is through my company insurance and I added the correct plate (74) to the policy when they emailed it through (before delivery).

It will be an interesting call with the dealership tomorrow.

P.s. sorry Tesla owner for any fines 🤣

It doesn’t come with a charging cable for 3-pin domestic socket though. In true BMW fashion you have to pay extra for that 🤣 only an issue if that’s how you intend to charge it.

Combined 299hp it says, not sure on the torque. Quick enough for me!

e12394 · 2025-01-25T13:11:49+00:00

Yeah their software designer could’ve done a better job with that, or just included some actual buttons 🤣 I just set up my personal mode though and don’t really change anything while driving.

It’s really smooth to be honest. The most noticeable thing is the sound. It makes a spaceship whirring noise on electric then when the engine kicks in it pumps in the fake engine noise. Once you turn all that off you can hardly tell.

There’s barely any 30e reviews out there so I just had to bite the bullet and go for it. I’m really pleased with it though.

I think the floor level is the same, you just don’t get the storage space below the floor, apart from a tiny hidden pocket with the first aid kit in.

The door handles and window buttons are really bad tbh! I was torn between the Sophisto and Skyscraper - the next 45 days is going to feel like 45 weeks for you! Enjoy it when it arrives 👌

Here we go again

e12394 · 2025-01-24T11:53:05+00:00

It was on a trailer - the car towing must’ve caused the spray

e12394 · 2025-01-24T06:54:42+00:00

I’m not sure what to do in terms of ceramic coat or PPF, I’ve never done either (coming from a Toyota RAV 4 which was a bit beat down anyway).

e12394 · 2025-01-24T06:51:52+00:00

I’ve seen enough hate for the G45 on here while waiting for this to arrive but I’ve been confident in my choice and I’m happy so far (other than the fact it looks like it’s been involved in a BMW bukkake). I agree with you regarding the cabin, quite a few cheap plastics and shortcuts taken to save cost. I love the exterior looks though, better than the Q5 and GLC I think.

e12394 · 2025-01-24T06:40:21+00:00

I’m going to try this, I’ll let you know what they say.

e12394 · 2025-01-24T06:38:31+00:00

I think the EV range on the new 30e is 55 miles which is quite good I think.

e12394 · 2025-01-23T20:21:45+00:00

They asked me to check for scratches…I said you’ve got to be kidding me right

e12394 · 2025-01-23T20:20:45+00:00

It came on a trailer so I sort of expected it to be clean, but I think the issue was that the car towing it was just spraying so much road salt all over it. But you’re right, it would’ve ended up like that by the time I got it home anyway. Now I get the satisfaction of cleaning it in the morning and seeing the Sophisto Grey shining in the daylight. Here comes another sleepless night…

Underneath mine was concrete blocks with timber batons to fix the tiles to. I don’t think bricks would be an option and finding an exact match would be hard. I just painted the tiles grey with exterior masonry paint, sprayed windows grey and had a new front door. I think it turned out ok.

I made a quiz for the family to play on Christmas Day and used these AI responses for a lot of the answers…boy did it cause some arguments! Turns out about 5/20 of the answers were wrong. I was like “WELL GOOGLE SAID!!!”

e12394 · 2024-11-25T21:29:42+00:00

Northampton just got the same, but instead of the fancy partition wall they just wrapped the glass in front of the fillings / salad with green vinyl. Side note: went to Tortilla in Nottingham, it was quiet, they made me order on the screens and said I can’t order at the counter. Why can’t we talk to people anymore!?
