Couldn't think of a fancy title.

Bought this on the weekend. 2 owners, 88k, pretty much full BMW service history.
It has a couple minor niggles but after getting it up on the ramp, overall it's pretty clean.

Already debadged the boot and got a fresh bonnet badge on the way and a new hose to the AFM as mines taped together by the looks :mad: but I think the first major things to get done is the cambelt etc, exhaust needs some welding until I buy a new one and the pass side arch will want some attention.

I've got quite a list of things I want to do but for the time being it's staying as it is. Only the one picture as it has horrible angel lights :roll:

Couldn't see the number plate said anal in the pictures before viewing..

Went to a classic car show/car boot on the weekend, randomly looking through a tub of keyrings. Saw a couple of BMW garage ones and found one from the garage it was bought from/serviced at. Matching the worn sticker in the window :D

Welcome to the zone!

Which BMW dealer was it?

Car looks tidy.

Pukar on here does reproduction dealer stickers and number plates amongst other things so you can replace the worn out rear window sticker.

Thanks!

North Oxford Garage.
Weird really, my old dear has been stopping there for years for a wee on the way to Silverstone because apparently the toilets play bird noises...she'll be off there again soon for the F1 so told her to get me a pen or something 8)

Ahh that's handy, plates is something I want to refresh. Quite like the worn sticker :o:

Not a lot has happened so far. Wheels are taking longer then expected to get done and fingers crossed suspension will be here this week.

New plates, new front badge, front towing eye cover and got rid of the guff angel lights :) and my old dear popped in North Oxford Garage on the way to the F1 and got me a tax disc holder to match my other NOG do dahs, not that I'll need it for much longer.
