    Looking at their web-site, the level of spec and options you get on what looks to be a very cheap car are pretty good. Although it is very hard to judge the level and quality of the materials used from a few web-pictures. Plus of course then there is the drive and handling to consider, but at first sight on paper they are a halfway decent proposition. Depreciation is another issue - what the value of a used MG3 would be in 3 years time is anyone's guess, but then who buys a new car as an investment or a rational decision anyways? Costs look to be covered with inclusive servicing and warranty. The offering from the major Chinese players has improved a long way, especially now they are looking outside their own market, so it could well be a reasonable buy for the budget customer. We shall see how they go. My only real gripe is the blatant ripping off of the "British" heritage in the marketing, and the "since 1924 bit" hmm..

    217,890km New shocks up front. I've gone with: Part #: SAC-556838 - these are the S704A shock instead of the S705A, I only figured this out after I had already put one in. All i'm noticing is the car is smoother now and my bank account isn't as far in the red as if I had of gone S705A route. I am abit annoyed i didn't figure this out sooner and as I've been sitting on everything but the shocks for almost a year. I probably would have gone the koni yellow route as it's kind of the in between price wise (still way cheaper than S705A though, but i really don't want it any stiffer). Now I'm in a bit of dilemma as to what I do with the rears....do I replace them with more S704A shocks or get S705A..? All i can find on the internet is that the S705A package is valved to handle the extra weight of the M62TU and designed for a staggered wheel set up....I'll wait for you guys to lash me for being so ignorant first ?

Maxed out the spring compressors....man these things really turn your anxiety up.

    Damn right. I have even been toying with the idea of a new Civic Type R. They look like super fun to drive. I also don't so much care about the 1/2 series being FWD. It suits their purpose anyway. Is Ultimate Driving Machine still part of BMWs marketing anyway?

    I don't really think it's an issue... most people that buy these wouldn't even know what rwd or fwd is. For the people that value rwd that is what the M cars or top non M cars are for (Eg M3) Makes perfect sense if BMW is to make a newer generation product cheaper to compete with the global market.

    Shows just how much of a brands identity is based on their core values, and how much is actually based on moving product. "The ultimate driving machine".. balls. Ferrari SUV coming soon.

    Forget that, I saw the other day they are advertising a f**king VAN (MG V80) under the MG brand! Nothing is sacred anymore.
