BMW X3 thingy.
Posted: 27 Apr 2015, 18:53
Had the insurance on the phone friday regarding courtesy car. They asked if it had to be a 4x4 or would just a car do, I told them a car would be just fine and I'd let them know what field it was stuck in so they could come and tow it out. Funnily enough they delivered a bmw x3 Saturday
Now, if anyone's considering buying one of these then DON'T. been out in it today a few times and to be honest it's junk
Seat doesn't go back far enough so you end up driving like a defender, auto stop / start keeps turning itself back on, auto door locking keeps coming back on, seats are like sitting on a scaffold board, the ride is like a skateboard, side and rear windows are like looking through a letter box, one touch indicators turn the other side on when you touch the stalk to cancel(no matter how gently), can't turn the running lights off, there's more plastic inside than in Everest windows warehouse, if you want to alter any settings you spend twenty minutes going through the menu with that stupid rotary selector, back ache comes as standard, etc, etc.
It's £230 something a day for this heap, I wouldn't give them £230 to buy it !!
My Disco was getting on for twenty years old and made this thing feel like a horse drawn cart. The Disco was like driving your favourite armchair, you just sat in comfort, put it in drive and could steer with one finger
No wonder the new Disco's are the worlds best selling 4x4, I'm not surprised at all now.
