I'm really starting to like those E38s.



Weirdly, I think I'd rather have one of those than a modern Lamborghini.

Mmmm, luxury barge.
I'm such a grandad.

The interior of that E46 is really "plastic fantastic" - I've never seen an E46 interior as vulgar as that one before. I wont criticise the wood/leather ones for being too mooshy now.

There's no excuse for that 116i. What a horrid little box.

yet its hardly a poverty spec with powered seats etc. The 2.5tds in the 7 range was the basic version but you couldn't really call it pov spec.

This 740 manual, e38? If so are you sure its a manual gearbox and not indicating a manual option on the auto box?

go to the colder european countries and everything looks poverty spec.

much bigger culture over there of sticking steelies with proper winter tyres on over the winter period. probably explains why everywhere other than england manages to cope with more than 5mm of snow :mad:
cheers,
