Well the Baur went through the test straight away with a couple of advisories which I am very pleased with but .........................................................My son`s car may have gone wrong big style!! :( :(
535 m sport touring and it seems like the oil pump has gone and so has one turbo at least :cry: :cry:
He is in his early thirties , married, two very young boy`s and does not need this !!!!
I wish I could help them with the finance but alas this is not to be.
Or is it ????
I have just seen a Baur 320 (Actual barn find lol) no test and full of holes went for £2500 so what do you think(without pics[I know, I know lol] but will pop some up soon )
I took her back from the garage today and it felt cool again, but needs must, maybe, who knows lol.
316 1987 auto, everything you purists hate winkeye winkeye

More to follow when I know what the hell is going on.
Only the E46 cab left now.
Just got too old.

I may sell the e30 to help my son out, it all depends what exact damage to his engine is.

Unless he was dying or something, I wouldn't sell my E30 to help my son out.
