That pink used to really do my friut and nut.........
The first time i saw it, i thought

1. '92 316i Touring in alpine white 2.
2. '86/'87 325i 4 door red with chrome bumpers - scrapped for engine/gearbox/koni suspension/mongoose exhaust(went into sport)
3. '89 325i Sport in diamond black with parts from above car (converted from auto).
4. '88 325i Touring in diamond black. (Current car).

currently have a 320i touring and a 525i e34 (for my dad, but registered in my name)

previously had an e34 525i auto-nice big ole bus but sorer on the juice than my 320

e21 323i in martini white - immaculate untill notorious worn bushes in trailing arms caused a lift oversteer moment resulting in write off and me being cut out of car by fire service

2002 tii - with full race engine - heini mader cylinder head with v.big valves (originally off a bmw f2 engine in a chevron)- something like a schrick 316? degree cam - converted to dellorto 48's v.trick hayward and scott exhaust. nothing at all below 4500 rpm - then round to 7500 rpm v.quick - sold to a cousin who has done nothing with it for years

currently e30 2.7 track car

3 E34 M5's
1 E34 525i Auto Touring

Ho boy. I've a fair few E30's in my time. I currently have the 2 in my sig, but i've had 5 M3's including a white Evo. I deeply, deeply regret selling that car, but i really wanted a cad. I've also owned several M-tech and Mortorsports cabs. Funny, cause apart from the M3's, i've never owned a tin top E30 I just love the cabs and i will always own one as far as i can see.

Jon

I've had

E36 316i Compact
E30 325i Touring (now turning into my kit car)
E46 320Ci Coupe

The day of my driving test back in 1989 I bought an E28 528i (Before I had taken the test )

I used this as my main car but had a few others like a pickup and a Triumph Spitfire, all before I passed my test.

I then killed the 528i due to a headgasket going and sezing up.... ouch.

I then bought an E28 520i and used this until the water pump siezed and that died too... I was really young and didn't really care about maintenance etc

I then had a period of non BMW ownership until February of this year.

Plenty of wierd stuff in between though, including an old London black cab which was a great party wagon, an Early 70's Buick, again a great party wagon, numerous old Rover P6 V8's (Like Vinnie Jones in Lock stock).

The last time I counted I had owned over 150 cars, I'm not a scrapyeard altough most of them were fit for one

Started a couple of years ago when I was given a C-reg e28 520i. From then I was hooked on BMW 6pots. After a year of running it into the ground picked up a pretty tidy 320i touring(I'd lusted after a touring for about 10 yrs) for 500quid. This lasted about 6 weeks before a small altercation in the wet with a signpost. By christ that thing was quick with a screaming exhaust, I swear it was quicker than my current car. It had had a replacement 65k mls engine put in not long before I bought it. Had a brief break from RWD before finding my current FSH NO rust minter for 800 quid.
