BMW's Question

[deltaincline]

Very interesting exchange of views about beemers.

I've never been able to afford a decent one unfortunately, so it's usually a slightly more reliable (hopefully) Ford Focus or a Vauxhall of some description for the Delta clan.

Must be ace to actually own one though. I do envy you guys that are lucky enough to have one parked on the driveway.

I wonder if any of you would know if BMW still offer optional indicator packs on new models? I know they used to include them in the on-the-road price in the early 90's, just not sure if they still do.

And do they still come with porcupine-trimmed seat covers?

Ouch that almost stang even though it was lifted from Top gear 1992.

Mine does 80mpg motorways 69 mpg combined by the book. The motorway one is not far off that in reality, the combined is probably nearer 55. The only thing two things to think about with a bmw, are they are very undignified getting in and out of, and never ever erver drive one in the snow, bar that best car I've ever had.

Wish I could get near those figures. I don't do many miles though. On a recent run to Scotland, I averaged 27 mpg.
