I was joking CaptainFlashheart, settle down 8)

Its a link to a post on an open public forum, really don’t see why your bothered? like you say its there for all to see via google amongst other places…

I think its great myself & will find it useful, fair play for setting it up!

no, you now decide when you post 🙂

i reckon you can change the appearance name to STW Forum bot, unofficial in description should cover it

use stw logo & write its un official in biog with website link 🙂

sort the egg out 🙂

Current Car (3 Series) is terrible, luckily we dont get much snow in Liverpool

3 Currently

Giant Defy Road Bike (Never used)
Giant XTC 29er (For Local XC Rides)
Orange 5 (For Weekend Mountain Bike trips to wales / Lakes)

i went to euro disney for two days & paris for one in 1994 for £150, my parent had a year to pay for it.

wonder what pgl costs these days?

got one, no idea if ive seen a benefit, so cant recommend really

Not really digging the vid, didn’t do it for me like the Rocket one, i actually just wanted to see the bike close up.

That said lot of admiration for Cy & The Steel City film guys making these films, trying to be interesting & different with their marketing, that makes me like them.

Is it also that you had more ‘load’ in the car?

I have found no difference between 1 bike & 2 Bikes tbh, Similar reading when alone or with riding buddy

And I’d imagine that bikes on the roof would make far more difference, as just the roofbars use to knock my petrol Vectra from 33mpg to 30mpg.

My mate has roof bars & reckons he looses approx 10mpg fully loaded

Hard to know, 2 bikes on roof facing forward, two on bike side on, either way a difference is noticable when driving!

Shouldn’t make that much difference. It’s only 2-3mpg on our petrol Focus
Where are you getting your figures from? Trip computers lie!

From Trip, previous experiments using maths (Distance / Speed / Fuel Used) have lead to it being pretty spot on, so no reason to doubt it for other occasions…

I was equally suprised it had such an impact! 😯

54mpg @ 70 without

38mpg @ 70 with

I have a removable westfalia towbar on my 3 series saloon, it sits lower than sensors so doesnt set them off when attached. I guess as above it depends on the car.

On another note recent experiments have made me realise i lose 15mpg with a tow bar mounted rack with 2 bikes on 🙁

Good lil video that, great use of app & a good lil build, admire your enthusiasm

Whats even better is you mugged off the clowns having a ‘bit of banter’ about riding a carrera with your reply of…

wow you guys are so sad. I wonder if the bikes that you ride get 5* reviews and and are at the top of rankings in bike mags in their class.

You don’t need a £6000 trek remedy 9.9 to enjoy mountain biking. I hope that you will understand that some day. 🙄

I was told in no uncertain terms by the dealer that if I fitted non runflats to my car then my warranty would be invalid!

There’s also an interesting article by one of the car magazines somewhere about the problems of fitting standard tyres to cars designed for run flats..

Mine is out of Warranty so that doesnt matter

Any idea on link to article?

Dont forget also, that you are not compelled to run runflats. Therefore you can buy tyres at a much more reasonable price, about £140 a corner on my 18″ MV3s

Agree, I got a full set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3’s from costco for said wheels for £560

Friend had a 530d, lovely car but lurched its turbo at 70k – so make sure its had proper servicing, not just the BMW indicator one.

Makes no odds, my turbo went at 57k with full bmw service history

I like the look of it, not sure why…

Not the nicest ever & I have no desire to ride it 🙂

your 330i bin as you put it above?

email me info

So why you letting go, private sale?

It could but my comment was slightly tongue in cheek. Never be envious of anyone’s possessions as you don’t know how they’ve achieved them. Big Salary or lucky break, well done to you. Credit card / loan, ok. Nice car kids in rags, not good.

Very well put, many people lose perspective in their quest to have such items

and most recently a 130i

Would you recommend? considered many times

A 3 Series Tourer too small for 1 or 2 kids? my mum had a Fiat Uno when we were kids…

not much difference between 330i & 335d really except you will get a far better second hand 330i for your money, similar performace & a lil less mpg.

only 335d ive come across has repeat twin turbo issues, not fun, that said my 320d blew its turbo at 57k so its a lottery really.

personally im liking the look of the new 328i in a couple of years
