Well .... as some of you may know, I have been thinking about changing my car recently, for something a little newer, a little larger, and with a little more "oomph" than my C200!
Having made up my mind that it was time for a change, and after thinking about a lot of different options, I have ordered my 'new' car today ! :bannana:
The good news, is that it will still be Silver ! :bannana: :bannana:
It also contains MB in the name of the marque ... but not in that order !! You've guessed !! <<runs for door donning bulletproof vest>>
So the C200 is going, and in its place will be an '01 E39 525d Touring, in Titanium Silver / Black Leather, with lots of nice toys fitted as standard (in an attempt to stop me from modding !)
5 Series, as the rear seat is wider, and I now need to accomodate two kiddy seats, plus an occasional passenger in the middle,.... which was just too tight in the 202.
Diesel, as my mileage has gone up quite a bit recently, I've never had one before, and I was mightily impressed with the test drive - (I dread to think what the 530d is like in terms of acceleration !) Not to mention the influence of all you diesel owners on here having 'educated' me !!
BMW, as I fancied a change. The alternative would have been a W210 Estate, although couldn't find any nice diesels with the right spec in my price range, and if I'm being honest, I prefer the looks of the 5 series Touring.
If anybody wants to buy a '99 C200 Estate, with lots of mods already done, do let me know ASAP ! Otherwise, there will be some mods for sale on their own in the next couple of weeks .... watch the Classifieds section.
I have yet to find a BMW forum that competes with this one in any way shape or form, so will be sticking here for advice on all things oily .... certainly not ruling out another MB in the future ... just need to do some first hand research on the competition for a while
