We have had the car a year now and I thought I'd do a mini write up of the experience.

It's been a eventfull time owning a FF, new suspension pump, gearbox rebuilt, track rod ends, drop links , lower suspension arms all replaced. Consumables so far have been 4 new tyres, I've bought four achelles desert hawkes at the cost of £400 in 22 inch and Im very impressed with them and they are rated for the cars weight, got the car serviced yesterday by a local BMW specialist and given it a health check, all is good, the cars going in for a 4 wheel alignment check next week, £60

We use the car everyday, its its a joy to climb into and still puts a big smile on my face every time , performance wise ours has been remapped and is surprisingly very quick and surprises a few people when they get in it.

Day to day running costs, there's not much to say realy as this doesn't bother me due to the fact I believe there's no such thing as a cheap to run FFRR.

I will be changing the car to another FFRR and it will be to a petrol one.
