XT is the shittest service I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Crap service and when something does go wrong (extremely often) the mentally retarded robotic customer service reps in manilla are pathetically bad. If you ask them a question that isn't asked of them in their training manual, they just give you a generic answer which obviously has NO relevance to your problem.

Such an amazing looking car. I hope you get the money you're after. Condition of sale that new owner has to be a member/join Bimmersport!

That seems completely reasonable. I'd do the same. If you explain to someone what is being done, how long it's going to take and what it's going to cost, and they agree to that, then why the hell should they be able to change their mind and demand the car be released.

I really like that colour too. Yeah, Dad's 3.0d does about 11 combined urban and open road. Couldn't believe it the other day, truck was full of crap + 5 people, towing the boat (also full of crap) and trip read 12.1l/100km at the end of the journey.

I wanna see the wheels! I can see dish and stretch = Boner

God help me if I ever have to drive one of those bloody things.

Is anyone else having problems posting images?

I quite like it in an angular stealth bomber kind of way.

I'm not here to argue either, and I admit I know sweet F.A. about the whole situation. I just wanted a discussion. I genuinely want to hear your take on things and your perspective as an American resident. I'm just repeating the facts that I have read, that I believe. I am always open to other points of view and I try base my opinions on what makes the most sense. I haven't heard a hell of a lot that suggests America is in a good state of affairs, so I'd like to hear from someone who does think this.

Go for the new wheels!

Public debt as a percentage of GDP - 11 October 2009

Feel free to give us your opinion on the situation

I disagree. I think the sh*t storm they have got themselves into is a combination of factors. The government (specifically George Bush's) did most of the damage to the US economy. They entered into a war that would have been profitable, had they got some oil out of it. But they didn't, so it's just ended up as a huge drain on their finances. Then there's all the rest of Bush's excess spending that saw US national debt rise by $4,000,000,000,000 - 4 trillion dollars under his leadership. Then as the boom time was coming to an end, Barack Obama came into office. I don't blame him at all for the sh*t they're in right now, he was elected into the situation. Sure he's spending at a rate that makes George Bush look like a Jew, but he doesn't have any other options. Either he sits back and lets the economy fall into a severe depression, or he spends up large in the hope that it's enough to kick start the economy again. If the spending approach doesn't work, then he's in a pretty similar situation to what he would have been if he didn't do anything. Obviously consumers and businesses contributed greatly to the US' bleak situation too, but the Government and Federal Reserve are mostly to blame in my opinion.

I don't think padding would have made a hell of a lot of difference. Hit pretty much anything at 100km/h+ and I think your in the sh*t.

Bahahaha. Another fine product of NCEA

It's quite simple. M40B18 = 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp) (standard) CA18DET = 169 hp (124 kW) 166 lb·ft (228 Nm) The CA18DET has more power, which is obviously why the swap was made. If you don't have anything constructive to say, don't post.

14 Fun Facts About The U.S. Government's Massive Debt Problem The U.S. government is currently creating one of the most colossal monuments in the history of the world. It is the U.S. national debt, and it threatens to literally destroy the American way of life. For decades now, this generation has been recklessly spending the money of future generations and has been convinced that they have been getting away with it. Americans have been enjoying an obscenely high standard of living, but the party is almost over and the day of reckoning is fast approaching. It has been a great party, but it was fueled by the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world. As many of us know, it can be extremely fun running up a huge credit card bill, but it can be even more painful to pay it off. Now our national "credit card bills" are starting to arrive and nobody really seems to know what to do. The U.S. national debt will forever be a lasting reminder of the greed and recklessness of this generation. The truth is that the United States is NOT the "richest and most powerful nation" in the world. Rather, we are a spoiled, bloated, greedy nation that has run up a debt so big that words simply do not do it justice. In fact, the U.S. national debt is so bizarre that it is hard to know whether to laugh about it or cry about it. For today at least, we will have some fun with it. The following are 14 fun facts about the U.S. government's massive debt problem.... #1) As of December 1st, 2009, the official debt of the United States government was approximately 12.1 trillion dollars. #2) To pay this 12.1 trillion dollar debt would require approximately $40,000 from every single person living in the United States. #3) Now the U.S. Congress has approved an increase in the U.S. government debt cap to 14.3 trillion dollars. to pay this increase off would require approximately $6,000 more from every man, woman and child in the United States. #4) The U.S. government's debt ceiling has been raised six times since the beginning of 2006. #5) So how hard is it to spend a trillion dollars? If you spent one dollar every second, you would have spent a million dollars in twelve days. At that same rate, it would take you 32 years to spend a billion dollars. But it would take you more than 31,000 years to spend a trillion dollars. #6) When Ronald Reagan took office, the U.S. national debt was only about 1 trillion dollars. #7) The U.S. national debt has more than doubled since the year 2000. #8) Barack Obama’s most recently proposed budget anticipates $5.08 trillion in deficits over the next 5 years. #9) The U.S. national debt on January 1st, 1791 was just $75 million dollars. Today, the U.S. national debt rises by that amount about once an hour. #10) The U.S. national debt rises at an average of approximately $3.8 billion per day. #11) In 2010, the U.S. government is projected to issue almost as much new debt as the rest of the governments of the world combined. #12) The U.S. government has such a voracious appetite for debt that the rest of the world simply doesn't have enough money to lend us. So now the Federal Reserve is buying most U.S. debt, and the only reason they can do that is because they basically create the money to lend us out of thin air. #13) A trillion $10 bills, if they were taped end to end, would wrap around the globe more than 380 times. That amount of money would still not be enough to pay off the U.S. national debt. #14) As if all of the above was not bad enough, according to the 2008 Financial Report of the United States Government, which is an official United States government report, the total liabilities of the United States government, including future social security and medicare payments that the U.S. government is already committed to pay out, now exceed 65 TRILLION dollars. http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archive...ve-debt-problem Also, check out this site: http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Avoid small claims at all costs. I know for a fact it is incredibly easy to delay the whole process for almost a year. And then if you finally do get a ruling as said above, you'll get one peanut a week for the rest of your life.

Looks very tidy. My dad has one almost exactly the same, but with the 19" wheels and M-sport package. The 3.0d is so good. How many K's?
