My new Ocean!!

[Abx]

Hi cowboy engineer, new van December 20, never had a camper or van in my life.

Migrated from BMW 440i (3 litre/straight six 334BHP 0-60 4.4 secs restricted to 150mph)
£58,000 to £21,000 in two years, daft really, I mean really daft!!

Cali now daily driver.

Best ever decision made. Just is, really is !!

Puts a different perspective on the daily drudgery of driving. Each trip a joy!

If I have one regret it’s I didn’t get one sooner!!

Enjoy, you will, you really will!!!

Bloody hell, my other car is an F80 M3, bought at about 14 months old for mid 40's and only been going up in price for last 8 months, probably get high 30's at the moment so around 2k per year depreciation, surprised yours dropped so much as used prices at the moment and just mad, hence why I bought a new Ocean and not used as price difference was just a few thousand.

You’ll love it, had ours 2years and every trip an adventure.
No major issues with it and the couple of wee problems of fitting accessories (wheel safelock and floor anchor) were sorted through great advise on this site.
Tap spout came off and thought “och no, it’s a visit to garage”, no way guys on here gave instructions and heh ho ‘sorted’.
Welcome and enjoy

Had ours since May and loving it, still working from home and it’s very tempting to work in the Cali from the drive I love it that much, just had a week in Devon and the versatility you get from a Cali is like nothing else, hooning round the lanes one moment, sitting watching the sea the next and the chilling on site.

It will fit @itguy managed it, but is it overweight now?

Oh it physically fits ok (we have it on a 1st Jan 21 emissions compliant van with the bigger adblue tank). We understand it is a easy way to cut a potential extra 10kg+ from 4Motion orders to help to mitigate the extra weight in the additional secondary adblue injection kit required for emissions compliance.
