Advantages: STYLING, IMAGE, BUILD QUALITY, ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Disadvantages: LACK OF SPACE, EXPENSIVE SPARES/SERVICING

...Last year, I replaced my 1999 BMW 323iSE saloon with a 2002 BMW 325i Sport. The 323iSE was a very impressive car, and my first from the marque. It gave me several thousand miles of problem free motoring. It was also surprisingly economical for a 2.5 litre straight 6 cylinder, generally returning an average of 31 miles per gallon. However, the mileage was getting a little high (80,000 miles in 3 years), so I looked again to BMW for its replacement. Originally, I was looking for a 330i, and it was in pursuit of just such a car that I found myself at a local franchise dealer. However, the 2000 330i I had intended to see there had not been prepared, and I was understandably disappointed. It was at this point that the salesman mentioned a low mileage 2002 BMW 325i Sport that he had in stock. Obviously as the car was newer, with a much... Read review

Advantages: smooth powerful engine, refinement
Disadvantages: handeling in the wet, cramped rear seats

...My car was an old 1988 model 325i SE. It had around 140,000 on the clock and would still rev cleanly to the redline. COSTS Genuine BMW parts can be pricey but with companys like Eurocarparts and German and Swedish parts can be affordable. Can happily average 30mpg and above but i have got into the low teens with spirited driving. Can be a bit of bargain i paid £300 at an auction and they don't seem to go much above £800 these days. RELIABILITY Very depndable in the time i had it never once did it let me down i once read of a texas bank who had one that had covered 1000,000 miles without problems which i think best shows how well they are made. When they do go wrong there easy to work on. DRIVING Very comfortable on long journeys thanks to absorbant suspension and unstressed engine. Has great overtaking ability thanks... Read review

Advantages: Fair price, electric roof, leather interior, CD player and, of course 'blindingly rapid'.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive parts, can tend to guzzle petrol depending on the speed.

...German legislation. The inlet manifold is small to reduce airflow and power. With some small alterations, a 325 manifold from an older 325i will fit. As this manifold has bigger inlets, a considerable power gain is to be had. I am talking of an increase from 193bhp to around 215bhp. For those of you considering a car like this, please….one word of warning. Don’t try to drive it quickly in the wet, it will bite! As with most rear wheel drive cars, unless you’ve been a rear wheel drive veteran all your motoring years and even so, the car will easily catch you out. To be honest, I wouldn’t let anyone drive my car on a wet day, too much power and not enough traction. What to look for: Right, if you’re in the market for a 6 cylinder e36 (that the 3 series from 1991 – 1999), there are a few things to look out for and one major thing! As I... Read review

Advantages: needed by al lips!
Disadvantages: small

...I discovered Lush's lip service while paying for al manner of lush products at my local branch. Id already spent about £50 so i didnt see that a little more could hurt. And priced at just £3.25 i didnt see why i shouldnt invest in it as the cashier recommended it so highly. Before discovering this product you would never find me without my little pot of vasaline somewhere about my person ready to be used the second my lips felt even slightly, however now that little pot has been relegated to the stables for use on any sore patches that the horses may get. Now you wont find me without Lip service! Although the pot sems quite small which for the price would make it appear as quite expensive, I have found that one little 12g pot last for ages and ages. Mine has lasted so far about 4 months, being used everyday and its still about half... Read review

Advantages: Vin Diesel, superb FX, good music
Disadvantages: Some inconsistencies, maybe a bit gory for some

...WARNING: This opinion may contain copious and overly female reactions to the actor known as Vin Diesel. Readers offended by such material should write to Those Responsible at Superpricee Ltd, The Community, Ciao, UK. Alright, fine! I could no longer resist it and finally put fingertip to keyboard to write my op on Pitch Black. Bought by me on Sky Box Office Multiplay for the princely sum of £3.25, I’ve just watched it for the second time. Pitch Black is a futuristic sci-fi horror sort of affair. We begin on a spaceship cruising through space with a passenger cargo onboard. Among the crew are Carolyn Fry (Radha Mitchell), Greg Owens (Simon Burke) and William Johns (Cole Hauser). The passenger cargo includes Jack (Rhiana Griffith) a young boy, Paris P. Ogilvie (Lewis Fitz-Gerald) an upper class British gentleman, two... Read review

...'t have anymore. *When was you born?* 6:21am 7th January in 1976. Makes me 27 :) *Do you have any brothers/sisters?* Kinda. I'm an only child but my dad remarried when I was 16. I now have 3 step brothers (Who are all brilliant) and a step sister (who I don't like very much) *Do you have a job?* Full time mummy at the moment. But I'm going back to work soon for some independence and money. New start and everything. Can't wait to be honest. Might go back in graphic design although I really haven't decided. *Where about's do you live?* 3 bedroom house in Chelmsford, Essex. No idea what's gonna happen though at the moment due to other circumstances. *Do you have a car?* Not at the moment no, but I could have. *If you don't own a car what kind of car do you want?* I'd have my old 325i Cab BMW back...

...nothing, other than a strange aftertaste of rubber No comments!) I much prefer the minty flavoured lip shine in the Natural Collection. On application with the little wand, the gloss feels rather sticky. Yes. I am sat here kissing the back of my hand, just to prove a point. The tube is clear and plain , so you can see just how much lipgloss you have ingested during the course of the night. Now, I applied the gloss just before we left and one vodka later it was gone. My Natural Collection one only used to budge if I was indulging in my favourite pastime (Kissing). All in all I found this product very disappointing. It is almost as pointless as Anthea Turner and I keep cofusing it with the tea tree sprt stick as the claer tube looks the same and tea tree tastes grim! For £3.25 I could have bought a double vodka. This product... Read review

...into the chorus. The song questions people ‘If I wasn’t a celebrity, would you be so nice to me?’ The song is once again a catchy track but is nowhere as good as ‘Pop’. Again this song is a more progressive track compared to past songs off their other albums which are more cheesy pop. A good track. 7.5/10 Ø The Game is Over [3:25] I love the intro to this track, it begins with samples of arcade machines and it makes you feel as if you have just walked into an amusement arcade. The sounds then merge into the melody and incorporate the sounds more. The computerised sound that says ‘Game over game’ is repeated a few times before JC enters with the first verse. The bridge again in this track is very catchy, the harmonies that are used in this section that leads into the chorus is great. Justin then sings... Read review

...and Marie sings here completely alone. Which only can be of advantage, because I find her voice simply fascinating. Thus this Song became a very beautiful Ballad, which provides for something relaxation. 4. Paint ( 3:29 ) ************** In contrast to the last song Per sing here completely alone. The song is nevertheless fascinating, because in the Refrain Marie sing a little bit and the song go under the skin. 5. Dance Away ( 3:25 ) ******************** I would say, The song is mixed rather. It is not a Ballad and it is not so fast like the first two songs. Rather a mixture from both, succeeded very well. Therefore this Song is rather suitable, in order to let it run in the background. But Marie sings as usual very nice. 6. Cry ( 5:05 ) ************ If we are already about to talk about Background music, so let me... Read review
