Best item the dealer forgot to charge me for

All my life, I have searched for a car that feels a certain way.
Powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a Nerf ball. Now, at last, I have found it

CONGRATS!!!

I'm sooo jealous!

I must confess... I actually saw it in Kingsway on Tuesday arvo when I was picking up the BMW from service. There was an M6 behind it and yet I couldnt keep my eyes off your's. Now I really wan't one.

Once again... Lovely car!

The M6 was gorgeous wasn't it? hmm.. But I must say MINIs have their own unique way of stealing the show. I know I know, the M6 is no doubt a beauty but it's more a technological showcase, gigantic brakes, V freaking 10 and what not.. But with MINIs however it's all about the character isn't it, the cuteness of it... you just can't bring about yourself to hate the MINI.. while cars like M6, envious ppl like myself would find fault with it.. but don't get me wrong I would love to es an M6 under my xmas tree

I babled on quite a bit there... but i'm sure you guys know what i'm yaping about.

The M6 is a technological marvel, but I couldn't bring myself to spend that money on a BMW. £80k odd!!! Im sorry it may be good, but I don't know why, I just couldn't. Especially when I could have a V8 Vantage or and XKR for similar or slightly less money. Better still, and M5 for sub £50k?? Where do I sign

Micky - i agree with what you are saying. After the bucket load of trouble I had with the cooper, I thought I wouldn't do it again, but meh.

Next one will be a hugely more expensive load of trouble - a Cayenne

Congrats Bugiz!!! You lucky think you!!!

Hey when you say the ipod intergration, are you referring to the standard option within the Chili Pack? The AUX connection, not the USB?

Mic

Nah, RobotFeatures...
I was actually talking about USB iPod integration... and I controlled the iPod via the Sat-Nav...
Seriously guys, if u guys have an iPod... iPod+Sat-Nav is the best combo... worth the money
