Do you still have your bike?

Nah sold the bike last year November.

Should get another but it's going to have to be damn fast.
I got bored of the CBR900 in like 2 months.
Though it was fast, I always wanted more on the top end...

Fanks man!
She purrs along very nicely :D
Easy ride - a bit stiff cos of the dropped suspension, but worth getting used to :D

Hehe - fully ;)

Nice Colour. Has the turbo been changed yet?

Actually just came here to post about that

Dropped the car off earlier this week for a checkup at BMW and at the end of the day came out with a brand new turbo, front discs and pads, oil separator (don't know what it is :confused: ) and a few minor tweaks.

So much more easier through the powerband now and breaks much softer!

I thought it was a dream to drive voetstoots - now it got BETTER! :eek:

Love Motorplan! :D

So with the new turbo, I'm hoping I'm sorted for the next two to five years at least on that front! :)

Does this model come with turn signals? :D I've yet to see a BMW signal when turning, so I assume they're an optional extra at the showroom?

Lol, I've actually been getting wierd looks when I use mine.

And other people are stunned when I'm courteous & give them a "show" in traffic.

Maybe I should convert to the typical BMW driving style to restore order :rolleyes:

Hmm. Nice cage. Pity about the neighbourhood though. I reckon you'll see it do the magical disappearing act, give or take a couple of weeks:D

A colleage bought the same one a month ago. R120000 2003 320d just under 100000km.

He took it for its first service with him, he is mortified at the R5k bill :D
