No, can't say i've noticed it either. You'll have to show me on thurs. I noticed it can be adjusted back and forth

I wouldn't be too confident with that statement PacerPete

Lovely car Simon glad you are enjoying it.
Wow what a home it came from too

Is this the one PacerPete did a private valuation for or something or was that another car

?

I want to get my one looking like that, that blue one doesn't have the rear/door blinds either

Similar milege.

I can't stand the grey wheels either need to be stock silver, they started that off at 17 large!

£350

Lovely motor.

That blue one looks shit.

E31 Alpina wheels look decent on these. Even better on a touring:

/\ aint that the ultimate?! I'd roll in that for a daily lots of pics of it on the pina register forum

Agreed on the e31 rims but where do you find a set? They're like 11 inch on the rears

Get your purse out and buy new!

Will they do finance Barry?

Bucket of milk for the brickie !

Post Tue Nov 20, 2012 3:57 pm

Yay or Nay?

spot the difference

Bit of m-power robbing, £5 from scrappy. I've ordered some new plates but the old ones help with the stealth look me thinks

Number plate surround. I wonder are there any that match the red lenses of the rear lights?

Might look naff, just an idea

Post Tue Nov 20, 2012 4:33 pm

100% yay

The very job!

Its the arse of E34's that do it for me or more specifically the brake lights.

So a Heckeblend would ever enhance it or ruin it!

Looks good actually... hmm. Curiosity satisfied

Sorry for the Hijack Simon!

Fabulous, my fave BMW 4 door!

Need a ride please!

Does anyone know of a place or how to sort this. On my bi turbo the speedo is miles out. Way over reading. IE 160kmh is 80mph on the sat nav. 160kmh is 100mph! If it was the stock 10% over read like alot of cars i could live with it but the OBC is telling me fantasies about 30+ mpg which the car clearly isn't doing!

60kmh is 40mph but really i'm doing 30mph. Miles out

I nearly brimmed it last sunday 100 odd litres of super and i've barely done 400 miles and it needs a refil! thats not 30mpg which i can handle but i'd just like it all to be a bit more on the money. Mostly motorway cruising too @80ish. I reckon it might do 500 to a big tank full

Hopefully i can have some ramp time next weekend and finally sort leaking pinion diff oil seal and have a good poke wheels off looksie.

Pacer i need you to translate this hit list as your handwriting is shocking!

This gaff was in West London for years but moved. They come highly recommended, always used to be more along tha classic stuff, Smiths, Jaeger gauges and the likes of custom cables etc. However, I had a "jumpy" speedo in my Scorpio, They sorted that for me. May be worth giving them a call?

your right they have moved, to Wales!
