Dave No, **** off and don't come back. Jesus, that is the dark side.. actually not that dark, it's not electric.

unofix Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Hope you've not swapped one Ecoboom for a bigger boom 🤔 https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/manufacturer-news/2023/01/20/bmw-specialist-sales-to-police-ended-after-pc-death 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanfp Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Hope your new purchase goes well. The X2 seems like a sensible sized car for a lot of people on this forum. I'd be interested to know how you find it by way of comparison with your Ford, once you've had it for a few weeks, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually changes gear! Plus, it even knows what gear it should be in!! It's about the same size as the current Focus, but the interior is huge, so is the boot. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god its one of those that knows how you SHOULD drive, does it refuse to start if its cold and icy as you might have an accident hahahaha AI has been allover the news this week, do you embrace or fear it. The same rabbit hole question to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transverse BMWs have the Aisen though, which isn't far off being as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 May the fourth be with you! (Yes, I did wait 2 days to post that...) This forum would be pretty quiet if owning a Ford becomes mandatory for membership. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum would be pretty quiet if owning a Ford becomes mandatory for membership. Quiet if electric car owners were banned too. Talking of transmissions.the transmission on the ioniq is excellent too. Silent 1 speed ( motor and reduction gear) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
