Seems like a load od Brits on the site (also Brits in the US on the site too, me !)

Be interested to put a list of mods and compare cost in england to us , forget exchange rate just cost for example:

GBP USD

550i

M tec rear spoiler

M Kit

19 inch wheels

Black out grill
\\Any one want to play ?

 

neighbor is brit and president of my division is brit with aston db9 :-)

 

Another brit here...and in Joizie too no DB9 though...

 

I have had a quick look at the US BMW site and the standard spec for a US car and a UK car seem so different eg over here we can only choose from an SE or M Sport model.On the SE you cant add an M Tech spoiler or M Kit.What you do is buy an M Sport instead that comes with them as standard.In the US there is , I think, a Sport upgrade pack too.

On an M Sport 19" alloys are ?780 or about $1550.

A basic 550i SE is $93000 compared to $97,500 for an M Sport.

I might have answered your question after all that

 

errr enough said ........................ im glad I live here I could not afford one in the uk !!
had a couple of 328i company cars and last a 330 d interesting for a diesel and well quick to be honest

plus about living here .................no xr3 's from essex

we could call the site EXPAT60 forum

 

I'm interested in the cost of other mods ie. small parts that can easily be put in a suitcase when traveling.

I think if I was back in england I'd have to get something smaller than a 5, the biggest car I had over there was a F**d Sierra that got totaled before I came over here.

No XR3s but a lot of Pimped Civics... but isn't the shore very essex like?

You don't have a GB sticker on the back of your car do you?

 

not yet but saving up for one

Being from sheffield I wanted to get one of those little football strips to hang from the mirror
