How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I owned that turd about twenty years ago !

I will never forget it . I was driving to work early one morning to get it washed and paedoed ready for the victim who was collecting it at 12. Alas a combination of an icy road , an E12 535 and my distinct lack of talent culminated in me heading for the scenery backwards over a kerb and fooking the wheel and a rear trailing arm on the way :(
The turd was barely driveable so I had to stick it up a side road and get a cab to work.

The victim was told I had got a puncture on the way to work only to find that the spare was flat as well, he swallowed my story and the hunt began for a trailing arm which even then was tricky.
I got it sorted and the nice man came down with a bag of money three days later :D

I challenge anyone to drive a good one of these and not have a grin from ear to ear, a true hero chariot ! :D

I had one of these 10 years ago, a Sapphire blue W plater. They are really rapid and they just beg to be driven hard.
These could be the next classic BMW to go into five figures - they look and sound heroic; they need to be a good colour though - white, silver, red or black and with the hero stripes. A minter should be 20 grand really.

Awesome cars and they seem much faster than the E28 M535i this may be down to the terrible brakes ? :eek:

they actually handle very well too :D
