Taken today, sorry about the crap weather not my fault :D

My 316i and 735i both freshly washed but its too cold to do all the spokes in the wheels :o:

Also a pic of the 1985 M10 318i Auto I had a few months ago, ive also had a 1987 528i in lachsilber which was lovely but a bit rusty and I managed to smash 2 rocker arms in the old M30......weird. Never owned an M20 car yet so who knows what I might buy next.

My other passion is my Mk1 Ford Sierra V6, rare as the preverbial now....
Im 19 and ive owned dozens of cars so most consider me very sad, but ive found BMWs to be the best of the bunch, and ive had some odd stuff, hpe you all enjoy, ive got loads more for later posts lol

Nice work on insuring the 735 at 19. Cheap(ish) insurance can be found if people look hard enough and select a suitable but still fast car.

So that v6, is that a 2.8 then? is it RWD?

The 316 lux looks really nice and its in the best colour.

I think I've seen your Sierra on the Sierra forum (fellow Sierra owner), very nice it is too. Welcome! What happened to your 318i?

No, IIRC it's a 2.3 and all Sierras are RWD :D

Well thats not exactly true, as my old man had a 2.9 4x4 which isn't. I thought saphires were definatly RWD. But thought some sierras were FWD like the 1.6/1.8. I must be mistaken.

Learn something every day.

It was a base model with no PAS, leccy windows or anything so I didnt really keep it that long, sold it on to a Lady whod never had an automatic before...whats your name on the FSOC?

The Sierra is a 2.3 V6 and yes its RWD as all Sierras except the 4x4s are, the Sapphire is the saloon bodied variant, of which ive had 5 (very sad)
This is a Ghia with all the bits on it in crystal green, and its a 3spd automatic.

I reckon i was lucky to find a basically mint 1.6 LUX in black, it does look good.....thanks for all the comments its make the struggling to afford them all worthwhile lol!!

Yep you are right they are all RWD, bar the 4x4 ones. From my reading it is most likely that its is a 2.3, but it "could" be a 2.8 or 2.9.

Thats another useless piece of information that has entered my brain.

Edit:too slow

I'm stranter on the FSOC and everywhere, I've not posted much though on the FSOC. Most well known on the 5 series board...

The E28 above looks gorgeous, an M5 front spoiler too. The shadowline kit really improves the E28 in certain colours, although chrome is mostly quality. :)

There's nowt wrong with a non-eleccy 318i, keeps the weight down :) Although I'm not sure an M10 auto would b much fun...

yeah that was a lovely car but i managed to smash the front 2 rocker arms over-revving it, was very rapid until that point though!! all electric 2, even had heated screen washers....

the M10 auto is the least fun car ever really but you could coax the back out, locking it in 1st in the rain and really giving it some!
