Hallo everyone!
« on: 18 February 2009, 13:45:45 »
Hallo! Another Newbie registering in . . .
I currently have a 16 year old BMW with 308,000 miles on the clock.  The engine's perfect - hardly run-in and doesn't use any oil - but the body and interior's getting tatty and the steering & suspension wearing out.  Still, she's done me well and I believe that a late ex-police Omega would provide a suitable and cost-effective replacement for a year or three.  Let me have your thoughts and also, what advantages would the 17in wheels give?  I'm concerned that they would make the ride harder without providing that much extra handling ability.
Simon-Omega has already provided valuable information & help.
Cheers!  Khyber

Thanks!  Incidentally, I should've said, I'm looking for an estate.
