hi all, i have a question for y'all. i'm in a situation and not sure what to do so need some advice (sensible or stupid). i have an m3 and it's costing a fortune to run, which is why i have a little wr125 yamaha for commuting. now, i've just had to renew my bike insurance and it went through the roof (along with the 1st annual service) and is putting a big dent in my savings (annually), now do i get rid of the yamaha and commute using the m3 and spend an extra £15 a week on fuel, or do i get rid of both the bike and m3 and buy myself a diesel bm. and if so which 1 do i go for? i like the look of the 320d m sport e90, or maybe a 5series! i am in the process of booking to do my hgv license as well so do i hang out to see if i pass and keep the m3?
sorry, a lot of if's and but's. but i was hoping you guys(and gals) could possibly persuade me to do the right thing???

thanks y'all.

Hi Edward, Not sure how long your commute is, but you could always change the bike for a 50 cc, which should drop your insurance premiums, as for your LGV licence, I would scout round and look for a weeks course to include the cost of the test, which would be the cheapest way of doing it, I personally would not get rid of the M3, but only you know your budget, you have to take in to consideration the cost of diesel, servicing cost of a diesel, and would you regret getting rid of the M3, if something went wrong with a new car you bought, good luck with your decision, and also good luck with getting your lGV licence.

I +1 the above comment

And could you really bring yourself to get rid of an M3 ??

Not much help but you will need to pass your HGV test cos deisel is for LORRYS !!

Here. here to all of the above !
Personally, I would stick it out with what you have at the moment and see what the future in HGV brings you... Your decision will be much easier by then

Stupid....

I'd rather push bike it to work than sell an M3

@al, my commute is only 3 miles which would be easy on push bike (as long as it don't rain), and @snypa and gav, i really don't want to give up on my m3 and i think would be the last thing to go (even after the missus i think...lol) and i have now booked in to the 1st stage of license (class 2) at a cost of £1400 all in which ain't bad.
