Belinder - she's great

[AngryS3Owner]

I thought I'd share some pics I took today, that 335i cab is one seriously good car. She does everything from being a 4 seater coupe to a perfect convertible and sounds ace If only she could just go on a diet then she'd also be silly fast!

Just clean:


Very good interior:




Lights which seem to annoy other road users - can't think why












Thanks Nigel, I owe you a beer

I appritiate this isn't the most useful contribution to PH ever and I'm sure I'm breaking at least one rule, I look forward to discovering the sin bin.

Wonderful car! I don't think you can truely appreciate it until you experience it first hand.

I know I miss it but believe it or not I think Cat actually fell head over hills in lovewith this car!!

Fantastic pics Ben.
A diet you say? Like losing the metal roof?
That'd be the 135i cab then.
Nigel, any plans to get one of them?

[Robatr0n]

Now that will be a hoot!

Am expecting both the Coupe and Cab as soon as they get on the list, have driven the Coupe and its mental!!

[VerySideways]

Ooh, might have to try and blag a day or two of each off you if poss?

[AngryS3Owner]

I'm sure the 1 series will be mentally fast (does it get all 306bhp?), but suspect it won't be as good all round (as I'm guessing there will be no chance of fitting 4 adults in it) which is what shocked me so much about the 335.

Belinder why that name for a car?

[Robatr0n]

Cat named it that for some reason!

[LilCat]

BELINDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh how i miss her!!

DONT CALL HER FAT!! (She is just big boned)

[GolfGT_Girl]

Rob should buy you one cat

Oh my god who invented GREEN policies !!!!

[AngryS3Owner]

Just explain to them that it might only do around 20mpg, it might weigh the best part of 2,000kgs when there's a driver and fuel, but it's actually very efficent for a 300+bhp car that weighs that much. I'm sure you'll win them over in NO time.

Oh then you just need to justify the ~ £47,000 price for one like you see there

That is one seriously good looking car. Still haven't heard the thing at full chat yet but from all reports, this is one for the wish list.....£47k is a lotta loot!

My wife woudl love one of those but with Twins on the way there is no hope for a 2+2 convertable to be on the drive... interested in a swap for the weekend for a Impreza!!!!
