Appologies - Sorry, I'm off

Having sold my 190E (and bought a BMW - hangs head in shame) it seems dishonest to keep appearing here. Been fun over the last year or so. Keep up the good work, boys and girls.

Neil,

How could you? do you know that BMW is an anorgram for Ford, and who wants one of those!!

All the same i wish you well, and i'm sure you will return to the upper end of the German car market one day.

Hi Neil,
          What BMW have you bought? I too am looking around...only looking though!
Hope the build quality is as good as the 190!

regards

Well what a shame, trading in your (as good as new) Mercedes for a (will be knackered one day) BMW.

Interesting ownership profiles of BMW (the honest truth).

BMW driver:

1st owner: Company bought vehicle
2nd owner: Company bought vehicle driver (for his wife)
3rd owner: Most people looking for a reliable fun to drive car
4th owner: More the same, only less money
5th owner: Somebody looking to customise their Beemer with 18" alloys, large ICE system, and tin foil wrapped around their exhaust pipe!

Mercedes driver:

1 owner from new, with full Mercedes service history.

You chose!

Best of luck with the new car.

David

Thanks for your comments and good wishes.

I've bought a '92 316i Touring. I needed more carrying capacity and less fuel consmption than the 190E, and I was getting sick of the shower of rust fllakes every time I closed the driver's door on the Merc.

The BM appealed through having a galvanised body and impressive overall condition. Also I got £500 knocked offwhen the dealer diagnosed the groaning power steering as a knackerd rack. I thought it needed the fluid changing. Turns out I was right!

I may live to regret the purchase. The most unreliable car I ever owned was a BMW. But I'm not convinced that the newer Mercs are as impressive as the older ones.

I'm saving up for a 107 SL. I owned one as a daily driver (when I had money) and although it was very rusty, I loved the car.

Live long and prosper and divent drop your dottle on the proggie mat.
