B3 3.2 Touring its suddenly getting old

[bss325i]

the e36 normally gets slated on here. its amazing the difference a couple of shiny trinkets makes.

Quite the opposite! Many people on here have or have owned them and have many good things to say about them.

Anyone who says they are crap is a retard.

£40,065 a new one of these was before options

i think i'll ring him.

Anyone who says they are crap just haven't owned one.

They are great cars.

Nice, apart from the matt skirts.

The B8 a bit further down is tasty too. Love the aerial on the rear wing..!

[Simon13]

ok, ok i shall ring 2moro and see if i can get it! See if he will take a hefty deposit and hold it until i'm back from holiday to collect it.

[bss325i]

Manual conversion FTW!

[Simon13]

i'll tell you now if he tries to p!ss me about like last time he can really have it, as i was biting my tongue last time from all the sales tripe/games.

Oh it is a 6 speed box for these, looks the same as the evo one. I think fag-tronic for daily use ideal. It will still be fast

[bss325i]

Must be the same as the Evo box then. A five speed ZF will be fine though. You have all the parts!

[Jhonno]

I'd keep the fagtronic, just manual it, if it goes pear shaped.

Hero chariot.

[bss325i]

Fagtronic is ok but manual would be so much better!

[Jhonno]

Fagtronic is ok but manual would be so much better!

In a daily.. Auto's make sense!

I wouldnt have it any other way! Cog swapping is for peasants, especially in big old busses

[bss325i]

Cog swapping is for heros!

I could understand if Si lived in central London but he doesn't.

The fagtronic will melt after a few hot laps of the Ring Simon......

Have you phoned yet?

[Simon13]

yes yes i've left a £400 deposit on an hour ago with receipt, so its mine for 2 bags. Looked rather sorry sat on its drive in the dark.

No.1 hope is the block is ok we can sort the rest! I'm going on holiday 2moro for 8 nights so i shall pick it up after. Hes offered his trade plates to drive it back as it only has MOT on it.

So we're a 3 alpina household now

[bss325i]

Is it wise to drive it with the head issue?

The block should be ok i would have thought.

[Simon13]

i said i'll tow it home on my straight bar in the e30! He said hes started it a few times since but no different, i told him to not bother!

I need to learn a bit more about vanos, 24v donks it seems!

[DanThe]

[bss325i]

The single vanos on M52's are the easiest type to work on. Very simple.

You can borrow the tools when you need them.

[E30BeemerLad]

If you have far to go then I'd think twice about towing an Auto mate

Thats a great write up!

[gooner1]

Well done for persevering with this,Si.
Have a good break.

This. Disconnect the prop.

[B7]

Good buy. Looking forward to seeing this.

[Simon13]

its lierally 1-2 miles to tow it home, i can't see anything shitting itself?! the car is in camberley in the nice bit of town!

[Jhonno]

I personally wouldn't risk it for the 10 mins it would take to undo prop bolts..

Thought you knew about that site?

My turds on there.

[Simon13]

Re head gasket towing home, the trader guy has driven it a few times as it is! not far but no further than i'm going to. Can't kill it anymore than it is already either way! I'm not getting a tow truck to pull it across from one side of town to the other!

[Jhonno]

I'd sooner drive it the couple of miles in an evening! Can't see that being an issue, long as it has water!

[Simon13]

fear not, it shall be on my drive, epic number of cars at the moment. As Oz's car is here also for a short holiday

[Andyboy]

Nice work Herr Dreizehn.

I'd hang onto that unused 2.0 M50 - mint front covers, as new bearing shells and metal gaskets and oil seals, nuts, bolts and studs, oil pump, water pump etc.
