the problem with the vxr8 is they all seem to be down south about 200 miles from me :( |
bighead - ouch! Very very ouch!
Just had a taste of BMW costs - service (oil, filter, brake fluid and vehicle check) and MOT £420 (nothing needed doing apart from the usuals) and my rears are very worn after less than 8k miles - damn that torque!!! |

http://www.archiemoss.co.uk/Used-Car...614577386.aspx I had a look at it last week. It looks quite well worn for the miles. |

Ouch! I've just had similar from Sandal BMW, but the total cost (basic service and MOT) was not much over half that!
I can't quite get my head around this staggered servicing stuff though! Had I done it by the book, I would have gone to the stealers four times in three months! Anyway the tyre thing is a bit of a headache - inners are heavily worn (just above legal)m outers are fine. A common issue with 335ds but people usually get well over 10k from their rears. Will see if I can get the alignment done. With insurance renewal (£460), the servicing (£420) and tax for the year (£245) plus possible new tyres (about £300), it's been a rather expensive week!! Bighead - jesus, I hope you haven't added up the total cost of ownership for the M5?! TBH, I'd prefer an M3. I might test one soon... |
It might be long shot but have you tried looking for the VXR8s Aussie rival the Ford Falcon GT or XR8?

There is a MINT m3 e46 in carbon black on autotrader/pistonheads at the moment. its only got 16k on it. looks brands new. £19k. awesome.
