Blimey, our bmw 335d started spewing it's oil in the middle of Birmingham on Friday.

The guy limped to Halfords & topped it up again then went straight to the dealer.

The dealer says a turbo needs replacing & they need the car for a week.

He's got a courtesy car - a vec 1.8 SRI in pannacotta (spelling??), I've just driven it & it's a really nice car.

The 1.8 doesn't feel under powered round town & is very smooth, with a nice exhaust note.

I told him at least its a nice step up from his beemer, I can't type his reply but the second word was off!
