The fanbelt snapped on the Touring!
My Dad drove all the way from the other side of the M6 on the M1 (not sure where this is) in the red all the way to Nottingham!
No headgasket failure!
Respect to the M40, could you do that in a M20B25?

Why?
Because when you spend £40k on an m3 you can't afford the RAC cover you need when driving your other turd!

What's an engine these days, £50?
For an unknown, or stolen probably lol. £200 - £300 for a known with at least a degree of history. £100 for higher mileage because at 130k plus you can be fairly assured you'll need to do the cams soon.

The 4 pot hasn't the power to push the gasses out of the tailpipe. They collect in the second silencer...
