He does seem to want to steer every thread off topic as soon as possible with his repetitive humour

He's like a dog that keeps biting the postman, you know you should have him put down but you cant' quite bring yourself to do it

Traded a GS Manual for a GS auto traded with towbar and roofrails and got them on the new one so only difference is the Auto box
The auto comes out at about 1500 notes, the cost to change is £13,500 so actual loss over three years is £12,000 or just under 50%, I can live with that especially after 60,000 miles

Good luck with the new car. Glad to see your going for the auto box. I would go for the Rimini Red also.
How is the clutch after all the towing you have done? That is a concern to me having a manual. If I can get 60K out of it I will be very happy.

Clutch is absolutely fine have only done about 15,000 miles towing, been over the alps towing 4 times and have never had any smelling, burning etc just fancied an auto for a change

Picked up new car today, main changes to GS spec since 2007 seem to be puddle lights, footwell lights,Alpine stereo, bluetooth phone with steering wheel controls,rear audio controls and new seats, now have to decide which colour leather to get

 Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

Decided on Ivory nappa leather with ivory stitching to lighten up the interior, same pattern as my last one (see Gallery ) and getting the Seat Surgeons to do it again as they made a superb job last time. Will post pics whe done.

so wasn't really time for a change was it same colour same interior dentists no imagination

does red remind you of a mouth and seats appear as teeth? At work
