Is this thread going to get even remotely back ON topic?

Chrome section looks like it is going to be a go as soon as the server issues are taken care of. That way we'll have the space to expand and no more downtime.

A few bits wrong with it but can't really go wrong for £295 - he's put ono as well so probably get it for £250 tops.

A car is only worth money with tax, MOT, a working battery and can move without the aid of a rusty 4 tone Jeep and a tow rope. winkeye
The white 745i would make an interesting rockery. :D

The 745 is resting, at worst if it upsets me the donk is £1500 :)
What is the going rate for a freshly belted L jet M20 and a M40 these days ? :)

I've been to Amsterdam a few times and have been disappointed by the lack of e30's, just a couple of average looking tourings. Never been anywhere else in the country although I would like to.

Burgundrot 316 in Rial wheels (?) seen in Den Haag.

Image

Truly minty Lapis blue (doom) 316 seen just East of Eindhoven. This was 100% original and totally straight, not bad for an '84 car.

Image

Burgundrot '86 325i Croozin' around Binkhorst (Den Haag).

Lovely 1984 Alpina B6 2.8 at BMW garage near Europoort.

Early 325iX at same garage.

Switzerland was the same, I saw far more chromies than facelifts and due to the strict laws on modifications they were all completely standard.
