Not sure I'll stick with BMW next time though as my needs have changed in favour of comfort and practicality rather than driving and performance

Sounds like you've gone from a M Sport driver to SE!

1. Audi diesel - check
2. Resale flat white paint - check
3. Window tints all round - check
4. Tinted rear lights - check
5. Little black plastic spoiler - check
6. Really crap attempt at a private number plate. - check
7. de-badged for the smooth look - check.

It’s how it arrived from Vindis where it came from, as far as I’m aware it’s just a number plate, I do have my own but I don’t like this enough to put it on.

The lack of spacing on the plate makes it look like a shit attempt at a fancy one, leaving people wondering what the fuck it means

Just a plate.

Isn't the lack of spacing technically an MOT fail and a risk of a £60 fine though?

Is a trader allowed to sell a vehicle that would fail an MOT?

Ahh right, I ordered it without the EU badge thing on for obvs although it was delivered with them on so they sent me these.

Lol
My wife is retiring at some point next year and we plan to travel a lot, in Europe in particular, with bikes, as were both keen cycle tourers. Much that I like my 440i, once you've got the seats down and two bikes inside, there's no room for anything else. I don't want to use racks on the tailgate or roof as we need to be able to leave the bikes for periods of time so external storage isn't an option.
Looking at Ford Galaxy and Ford S Max as options. Both have cavernous amounts of space and with the privacy glass option, you can't easily see what's in the back from outside. With the twin turbo diesel option, the S Max drives okay for a large MPV. No 440i with MPPSK, of course, but hey ho, times change

A mate at work has an S-Max as he has kids, loves it. As you say, handles well for that type of vehicle and very practical. Would be ideal for the sort of trip into Europe you are talking about.

Obviously I don't know what your budget is, but you might want to consider a used XC90(new model) they have a cavernous boot especially with the seats folded down. If you stay away from R-Design they ride a bit softer too.

OK it’s getting to the point where I just want somebody to steal it so I can claim on GAP, I might just leave it in Toxteth.

Don't forget to delete this thread before you do.

No new car would be delivered on a miss spaced plate.

Bootle would be another good shout, fuck me that place was a war zone back in the 80's. I doubt it's improved much

Yes they did....

So Broncho, what's actually happening. Are you really shopping for a new car for you and fibbing the Mrs off with this.

Good man maths move.

No beemers on the shortlist?
