I hate this forum.......

davybull · 04-07-2015, 11:18 AM

As the title says.....
Ordered my 335d hearse last week and confirmed the spec with the dealer after many hours on the BMW configorator.

Now read through 50 pages of threads on this damn forum and have had to email the dealer to add speed limit display and front seat heating. Definately CANNOT tell the wife she would hit the roof as Ive cashed in all my brownie points to just get the car speced as it was before.
Now need to order the black grills and the acs springs nooooooo!!!!!

Dave.

workshybum · 04-07-2015, 11:21 AM

Yes there are plenty of people here willing to help you spend your money, that's for sure.

And it doesn't stop when the car arrives either!

MWA · 04-07-2015, 11:21 AM

You would love the heated seats in winter, and would be very thankful, at least your bum would be :P

You also need to add in the cost of decent detailing services as well

JonD · 04-07-2015, 11:22 AM

Of course, when you mentioned the ACS springs, you really meant to refer to the ACS RS Springs, as the smart people are going the RS route now

There is a forum member who is a divorce lawyer, specialises in BMW upgrade syndrome causing premature martial upset

Never been called smart before - this a slightly unnerving experience...

Well you are the guru

You are the one that showed everyone 'The Way of the Spring'

And power upgrade as well of course

Nick the Greek · 04-07-2015, 01:17 PM

Yeah.

Most people who visit hate this forum.

But it's a bit like the first sniff of your mistress's panties, you keep coming back for more.

Kal101 · 04-07-2015, 01:28 PM

Don't forget the increase in insurance premiums when they find out about all your mods .....

Let your northern fingers toosties rest on a heated steering wheel and you'd never look back. Couldn't give a monkeys about manning up - my circulation is crap. It makes life all so much more pleasurable for almost nothing. Best value option I ever chose (but then I am a southern shandy drinking tart)....

Agree....and for less than £200 it's will worth it

It's definitely one of those items that once you spec, you'll add it to all future cars

Absolutely - and given the option cost is massively less than the sum of the retrofit parts its a no brainer!
