Bahama Beige,
and with the tickover so high when warm it looks like it needs a new cold start valve

I doubt you will find anything in the wiki about setting your idle up properly not many can sort jetronic,
did he include the original Dealer plates in the sale ? at 17k it should still be wearing them..

Is it a big job? How important that it is done? Probs best to get it to a garage then?

I asked about the original plates but he said these were on the car when he got it. Will look into getting some made up as I don't like the GB signs!!

Stunning
Are those wheels original ? Thought 14" BBS didnt come along until later on
if not some refurbed bottletops would make it perfect

^^^^ With that in mind I have an unused Bottletop alloy and new tyre (unused spare) and a selection of 8 other really nice ones. I am willing to part with them for not a lot of money if that is the route you want to take.
I like bottletop alloys, they look great on the chromie models. Did I just say that?
Great car!

Yeah it's looking a bit 'jacked up' for some reason! I will wait until I get my bottletops refurbed and fitted then decide on what to do. Hopefully a 35mm drop will be enough. Don't want it touching the deck like my touring!

Thanks
I can't wait to get home next month and get her out for a spin!! (provided it is dry ofcourse!!)
I think I will take it to BMW for a full service too.
