That's not really a car in the sense of the normal e30, it's a collector's item / display item. But I believe this has to happen, to preserve the old turds before magpie frags them all :P

I can say with experience, my X5 which is only used for posh days doesn't get used enough. I have just replaced the discs which warped one, after having seized brake calipers (again), this purely from lack of use.

Looks like i'll be forced to fire up the V8 a bit more often, no hardship there then :cool:

Trouble is, the X5 has plenty of power but the off road abilities of a wheel chair :o
