You're apparent advice has to be taken with a grain of salt to be frank. How is it that you have a chip on your shoulder, you weren't involved in my situation nor do you have any vested interest in it. You do seem though to like to post and have a go at people. And then decide they are just trolling and sit back and have a go at them some more. If you can get that worked up over someone who posts details about a situation they have gone through, when it wasn't in any way related to yourself, I'd hate to be around when something happens that is related.

So you had a go at me because I saw an orange light, did not know how long it was orange for, and thus tried to brake, but couldn't' stop before the line, and then went over the line 1 second after it turned red. Then admit you ran a red light yourself and didn't even know you had run a red light until you got a ticket. Keep your advice, it sounds like you need it more than I do.

You've run a red in an area that you claim to be notorious for traffic cams.

1. You ran a red

2. You were aware that the cam was there hence how you knew that it was notorious

3. You keep reiterating the same point seeking a different result.

If you haven't had any fines in all these years, 1 red light slip up isn't going to affect you.

Still failing to see what your point in all this is.

Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over expecting a different result - Einstein

You ran a red and got a fine, stop QQing like a girl and take it like a man - Me

Col Please close this thread before some of the pro trolls decide it's open season.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
