Re: Bromley Pageant

First time I've been to Bromley, great show.
Got myself onto the BMW South East stand and so I was right by all the action in main arena.
F50 was the star of the show for me along with A DB5 SuperLeggerra

Re: Indicator replacement

Well I'm all sorted. If anyone else has this problem, you need to replace the whole indicator unit, you will also need to get the car up on stands to reach some of the bolts to remove the bumper. I fitted clear aftermarket ones, but would have preferred the original BMW orange ones. Just about got a...

Hi Guys.

Re: Heater fan blower

I'm having a similar problem, my heater fan will only start if I turn it all the way to 4, after that it works fine, it has stopped working once though, that was solved by switching it from off to 4 a few times.
any ideas as to why this might be happening?

Re: Need info on how much 316 is worth

It's the kind of car that if you don't buy it now, KGF or 4Star classics will be selling for 10 grand next week and you'll regret not buying it then.

Re: Need info on how much 316 is worth

I would say its worth it If you buy it and keep it around the 10k mark.
Let it's price go up, get it garaged and drive it around a few times a year but don't put too many miles on it and continue using your 316 in the meantime

The Mini also has the "my dad had one of these" and the "I learn't to drive in a Mini" thing going for it. I think that if someone is looking at the market for a car from the 60's and 70's such as the mini then i don't think they would see the e30 as the BMW option, surely they would look at a 2002...
