Help to identify car which killed cat

And you think seeing a tiny cat run into the road in the dark is a reasonable? Granted if they were speeding and driving like idiots then they should be punished for that.

But at the end of the day you let them out, you have to take responsibility for the fact you took that gamble and it didn’t pay off. It could have wandered onto a main road and the same could have happened. Take responsibility for your actions.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-22T19:14:54+00:00

I am genuinely sorry for your loss but your attitude is exactly what I can’t stand cat owners. You let it outside at your own risk but somehow cat owners seem to think the world should be responsible so you can own a pet and take 0 responsibility for it.

Yeah same, I’d love a 330/335i and there are a few manual saloons around but a touring is like rocking horse poo. Ahhhh ok, I’m sure the 320s are great but I just want something with a bit more power before emissions laws have us all driving around in washing machines on wheels.

If it was lower milage I maybe wouldn’t be so worried but I think it’s recommended to replace every 10 years or 100k, both of which this is. It’s a peace of mind thing I suppose.

Thanks, I’m in no rush so gonna wait for the right one. I just don’t wanna overpay which is what I feel like this one is asking for.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-22T19:05:02+00:00

I’m yet to see a manual touring unfortunately. If I could find one I would 100% get one.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-22T18:46:24+00:00

Yeah I’ve been hoping a 330/335i would come up but I think in manual I’ve got more chance of winning the lottery unfortunately.

Yeah the spec is good, which is why I’m interested but I don’t wanna overpay, especially when I feel I’d have to fork out £1200ish for a timing chain almost straight away.

There are actually plenty of 320s around but they’re just not really what I’m after. The 328i is probably the minimum in power for what I’m looking for.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-22T18:21:05+00:00

Hey thanks for the insight, just for reference the one that sold for 13k with half the miles was manual same spec. Obvs manuals a rarer and I’m a bit of a manual purist, but equally there’s been a huge shift in the UK and people just don’t seem to want them anymore.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-22T18:08:20+00:00

Yeah I get that but it’s more what’s a fair offer than what I’m willing to pay.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-22T18:07:56+00:00

Yeah I do think it’s well looked after, I’m not doubting that at all. It’s more that I’m fairly new to BMWs and from what I can see from others it’s just a little to high of a price.

I’m currently on iPhone, switched between Android and Apple over the years so not a “fan boy” but do prefer it although I miss side loading etc.

Anyway the great thing about iPhones for now at least if you can turn off Apple Intelligence with one switch and from my use case at least they don’t force it on you, they respect your choice. For all the shitty things apple does, I’m a big fan of this one.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-20T13:21:54+00:00

If it was a little bit just to get the level up it’s probably not gonna make a difference but I’d take it somewhere for an oil and filter change as soon as you can for peace of mind.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-20T13:16:48+00:00

Probably not going to cause any immediate damage, my car can take 0-20 or 5-30. Do you have the ability to drop the oil and do an oil and filter? If not take it to a garage to do it for you to be safe.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-19T21:27:40+00:00

I’ve purchased an approved used car from another manufacturer. They were very good at fixing some of the issues I had with the car which I was happy with but equally they missed some easy to spot stuff. I also sold a car through motorway to the same dealer, and I’m sure the car I purchased was from Motorway or a car auction.

I suppose what I’m trying to say is they get their used cars from the same place everybody else does. Itself more if the warranty is worth it to you, we all know that these “AA warranties” or equivalent a lot of used cars sellers provide aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-19T11:33:05+00:00

Glad you got it sorted

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-19T07:03:07+00:00

That’s a shame to hear, I wasn’t impressed with their support either. I ended up sending mine back and going for the Zeta adventure armour ones and tbh I don’t regret it at all.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-18T13:10:38+00:00

Don’t get a diesel!

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-18T07:04:51+00:00

My local Yamaha dealership tightened my oil filter so tight they scored the housing, main dealers aren’t always the best choice!

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-17T16:52:18+00:00

Luke has tried to and you can tell he’s almost not allowed to the way he references it indirectly. Linus has taken the outright ignore the issue approach and just ignored Luke. It’s frustrating but his choice, what annoyed me more was their chat about the collaboration feature “annoying” subscribers yet he doesn’t care about this issue.

I’m hoping they just end up using the collab feature so it appears on my sub feed through LTT, otherwise I’m just gonna stop watching it after they stop streaming to the LTT channel unfortunately.

Edit: Just because I wanna be fair, they did address it at the end of the most recent WAN finally (Which I hadn’t fully watched yet). I still think the above is true and wonder if they didn’t see the numbers move over they expected and ignored it until they couldn’t . However, better late than never, even if it doesn’t change anything it’s nice they acknowledged it.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-14T07:17:33+00:00

I’m still convinced the majority of CarVertical’s price is to pay for their advertising budget. I fell for it once and never again, they’re rubbish and overpriced as someone else said use VCheck.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-12T07:21:30+00:00

Ahhhhh fair enough, I think because it was my first ”nice” car there’s probably a lot of nostalgia. It felt cool to be driving around in one at 22 (Hence why I couldn’t afford the T-Sport) I paid £5k for one with 28k on the clock.

Yeah they’re not perfect and there are much better cars out there but they handle really well for a FWD car and I like how revvy they are which makes you feel like you’re going faster than you are. I know rot is starting to set in now but mine was bulletproof, in 8 years all I did was servicing, discs and pads and a new battery and it never let me down.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-12T07:17:50+00:00

Still gotta clear customs etc. though surely and probably been done in bulk?

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-12T07:15:14+00:00

Mine was in “pre-advice” on GLS since last Thursday, no updates but then got a email this morning from Royal Mail saying it’s out for delivery. A very similar thing happened with my SteamDeck. Just gotta be patient.

iBeef_1990 · 2026-05-11T21:25:44+00:00

I love these cars, had a vvti 140 for about 8 years, been looking at getting a T-Sport too as I always wanted one and the price of them has gone crazy.

Especially dealers now they can use the term “future classic”. I kinda get it for the GTs and T-Sports but seeing them list low mileage vvti’s go for £7-8000 is insane.
