alfizta 6 Report post Posted October 10, 2014 I've found the dream car. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item51b9073774 Why the fuck does anyone buy pieces of shit like this, are they so obsessed with having a brand new car that they forget to look at what they're buying. bonnet looks just like a 146, but without the front shield Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K9d 108 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 Picked the 3 series up last week and have driven it a few times. It drives fine, corners well, brakes brilliantly, doesn't rattle, the lights light up the road ahead of me, the key fobs work, it seems economical and the minging interior has cleaned up nicely, so why am I having second thoughts and wanting to keep my 156 ?

Bigdar 62 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 We've had her 3 series touring for years now, I've taken it to work for the last couple of days. I've just found the button that should have 'fun' printed on it. Bit of sideways action can't be bad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K9d 108 Report post Posted October 25, 2014 Ah press it then Ouch The annoying thing is I went for a diesel because my daily trip to and from work is 32 miles, but the day after I bought it things changed and its gone down to 14 miles. If I had known that before I would probably have gone for a petrol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K9d 108 Report post Posted October 28, 2014 Just put the 3 series and the 156 in for MOT. 156 4 x tyres, 2 CV boots, corrosion at seat belt anchorage floor to sill, rear suspension mounting floor to sill and rear outer sill suspension mounting all offside, plus front brake hose excessively deteriorated. Plus advisories for front discs. Apart from the welding, which I can't do, its nothing too major, but I'm not going to fix it. Will sell it as spares/repairs. BMW 3 x tyres (will get all 4 changed), headlamp aim too low, indicator bulbs wrong colour, some front suspension issues and rear brake pipe, will get both changed and handbrake not efficient, this could be down to the fact its been sat around for a bit. The handbrake may just need a clean up. Advisories on suspension bushes, will get them done too. Even with that lot the beemer works out at a good price.

K9d 108 Report post Posted November 22, 2014 My 156 made its last journey yesterday, well with me driving at least, I feels kind of sad about it, just hope the Bimmer is as good to drive. Worst case scenario is I don't like the Bimmer and I sell it and buy another Alfa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiffy 99 Report post Posted November 22, 2014 Deserter Felt the same way about the gta But I had another alfa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
