Hi, everyone!

Just got my first BMW!

E46 316i SE - Dark Blue - 4 door!

I know it's not the best and it's certainly not the fastest but it looks great and is massive improvement on my Fiesta! Had to go for the 316i due to insurance reasons. Being 19 is a pain in the arse when it comes to cars!

Anyway, I love it and am looking forward to browsing the forum

Mate, it's a BMW so it's good enough for us! :thumbsup

I know what it's like, there's no point paying thousands to insure a massive engine car now. It's just throwing money away...

Welcome to the forum.

Those thousands can go to the next BMW you choose to purchase:thumbsup

Hope you enjoy your stay:thumbsup

Hi Falz and welcome to Bimmerforums UK, good to have you on board

 

[Falz]

Oh, and I don't plan on putting a huge spoiler on the back and sticking ///M badges all over it either, so don't worry

 

[libra78]

nothing wrong in the slightest with a 316i.. welcomage buddy you've come to the right place...

 

[Falz]

thanks, everyone

[Wonkydog]

Welcome in.

 

[trimz]

welcome.. 316i was my first when i was 18 too... I cheated by adding it to my dads policy!

 

[DanBMW]

Welcome :thumbsup as said before BMW is good enough.

Tell me about insurance! was £1700 for me being 18 and for 10 months but I got 318

Enjoy it! :thumbsup

 

[mellybmw]

Insurance isnt so bad for myself. But then thats the joys of being a female and we driver 'safer' lol

Im 20, and I have a 328 cabriolet. I pay £900 a year.

 

[griffo46]

Welcome mate. I got 316i, 1.9.
I got 316 because of insurance, you did the right thing. plus ya cruising round in a bimmer. Cant be bad!!
Enjoy the forum dude.

 

[Falz]

Haha, yeah Melly - that second X chromosome makes allll the difference to those bastards

Mine's costing £1900 (ish) for a year - and that's only third party (fire and theft)... sucks...

They wouldn't even insure me on the 318ci and the 320ci i was looking at, but... yeah... loving the BMW

 

[DanBMW]

Yeh, Its well unfair. :O £1900 that sounds quite expensive, especially for third party.
