Nice car but I think Isleofwhytes is much better suited to UK roads. |

My 840i GC has a switchable exhaust as standard too. It sounds reasonably fierce in sports mode with a deeper growl and a few mild pops and bangs - slightly odd on something of its size! It does seem to be getting increasingly common.

I did look into getting a Remus exhaust, they quoted me just under 3k and the insurance company wanted another 2k to cover it so what with that and BMW getting tetchy with mods I soon dropped that idea!!! |

I assumed that as the exhaust valve has just 2 positions (I think) - that Sport and Sport Plus would be the same on startup - I have to try this! |

I'm staggered at the £2k insurance increase for a fairly minor modification which doesn't alter performance in a meaningful way! |

Luvverly, I hope you enjoy it!! Nothing beats a rapid estate like that and I think Audi are the best at it. A real wolf in sheep's clothing. Am envious Reckon that would last about a fortnight on my drive, sadly....

If I hadn't been broken into last January, I wouldn't be driving a diesel Golf right now, I can assure you! Might well be in a swift Audi estate, in fact

Yes the insurance was a bit of a shock I am with Lloyd's Bank and i got the distinct impression they dont want modified cars on the books so quote ridiculous amounts to put you off. I might have been tempted to cancel and find insurance elsewhere but it seems alot of faff for a bit of extra noise. |
