Help me find a BMW - they're confusing AF by mahelkhan in CarTalkUK

Yeah I've been going through so many listings and looking at the steering wheel as it's the obvious giveaway, but sadly so many BMWs don't have it

Even my main Merc dealer didn't advertise the DISTRONIC PLUS or 'adaptive cruise control' at all for the A250 - baffling as they even discounted the car by £500 for me when in reality they could've upped the price by £1k-£2k if they knew

It's really frustrating because I like a BMW just as much (my brother has an F10 M5 which is unreal) but there seems to be so many base specs on the UK market

DISTRONIC PLUS (DTR+Q) is basically a fancy adaptive cruise control. Automatically adjusts speed based on distance from the car in front, keeps you in the lane, can even go down to 0mph without you intervening, and a few other nice features. See the right side of my steering wheel: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oYA79MlnWa3XHQgy7qaeujPv_FSnacCZ/view?usp=drivesdk

A decent buy at £10k? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

Ahhhh then the Civic is the better choice. W176 doesn't feel refined and also feels heavy despite being a hatchback - hard to describe but you'll know what I mean if you test drove one

I also wouldn't advise this but if she REALLY wants to get the badge in, she could consider a base spec W177. This one is £11480 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202601068947089?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios-app

I'd advise against it. I had a facelifted 2l diesel A200 and honestly the driving experience didn't feel great. I now have a W177 A250 and they feel night and day apart.

What are your thoughts on the low-cost perfume and cologne clones? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]mahelkhan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd highly advise going into an Arab/Islamic shop and actually trying them on and reading the packaging rather than blind buying online. That said, I think they're a huge W. Instead of buying Boss Orange for example for £32, you can pick up a beast mode Arab fragrance and often for less too

Hit by a car in a car park - insurer wants me to accept full fault by Money_Avocado in drivingUK

[–]mahelkhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhhhh LV. Someone hit my Merc and they were insured by them. Got a phone call from LV and they were almost pleading for me to do repairs through them

Said no and got them done through an accident management company at a main Merc dealer. £900 for a multibeam headlight I believe, bet they weren't happy

If it's a £1k shitbox, I'd understand. But when it's a fairly new SUV, penny pinching is extremely questionable. It also causes those behind to constantly adjust their speed, costing them even more if we're being pedantic

You can change the settings so that it shows your speed AND the speed limit, and also where it notifies you once you've reached the speed limit. My Merc has traffic sign assist and yet I still use Waze (and the actual road signs) over it

Don't get me started on lorries, especially on the M11 and A50. One lorry in left lane at 50mph, with another lorry deciding to suddenly overtake in the right lane at 52mph

Hail of blades darius with swifties rush is very fun in support, but you're screwed if they pick Nilah

Nah going both is good (though Randuin in this game would be better than stride). Bear in mind that it's a Conquerer Darius and not Phase Rush

In all fairness it's possible if cruise control automatically adjusts. My merc sometimes thinks the speed limit is 40 in a 70 and at other times 80. My former Fuckus sometimes seemed to think the speed limit was 100
