Just bought a new car..updated with Pics on page 2

[mrLEE30]

i pick it up on tuesday so no pics till then!

A few clues,

just shy of 300hp and 450Nm

that should be enough to get you guessing!

[TPS]

Reliant Robin? Lada?

[Gortour]

330d?

[TPS]

300bhp, could be a E36 M3?

[mrLEE30]

330d only 184hp, this has about a hundred more!

Reliant??? i would have a 300hp Reliant if possible but alas i have posted in the correct section...other BMW chat

[Gortour]

M3 more likely I suppose, fuel is as cheap as water out there...

[Cook318IS]

850i?

[mrLEE30]

E36 M3 over 300hp but it beat it on torque!! so not that!

850 .... come one i dont have a chest wig!!!

[E30BeemerLad]

X5 4.6

[mrLEE30]

X5 4.6

right number of sparky bits..but no

[Nobby_N]

M5 or Rover Vitesse or maybe even a mini metro!

[320ise]

540i with a few tweaks?

[TPS]

640/5i? By the time we guess this Bahrain would have had its new year!

[mrLEE30]

540i with a few tweaks?

bingo! buy yourself a pint and send me the bill..but with no tweeks!

1999 540 E39 4.4 litre dark grey black leather TV etc with some nice rims

pics to follow!

I have been looking at these for a while now and i hope to be getting one in march.

300 horses and a V8 all it needs is a full Miltek system and it's perfect.

[BMJG]

I have the 535 V8 E39 and this is no slow boat either but hanker for another E30 for a daily so mine will be gone soon. You will love it is it auto or the 6 speed manual ????

[Simon13]

286bhp to be precise! 310lbs in old money. I think that will be a double vanos donk? Nice.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

I was going to guess a BMW other than an E30, as it's in the other BMW section

[BMJG]

I think the vanos came in around 1998 on these so should have

[mrLEE30]

yes a vanos and auto, it also has 440Nm of torquey bits It has the switchable suspension too, but not sure if they all have this.

Been sniffing around old E38 7's but figure i am too young for these, so the E39 fits in nicely, i have been using the sport as my daily run about and driving to Saudi is not comfortable even with the 3.4 diff and it will get worse once the coil overs go on, so something more suited to mile munching is in order!

Will post pics once th banks open and i can get the cash

[old_skool]

How much is petrol in Bahrain again?

[mrLEE30]

about 15p a litre in Bahrain and about 10p in Saudi for 95octane cheaper for 91 Octane but its rubbish fuel and car runs poorly and pinking, belive it or not they are looking at increasing it by 10percent here in Bahrain, and the locals are going mad!!

Should think they are, 16.5pence a litre Scandalous.

[old_skool]

Can you stick some in the post? I've just been told that we are to expect rises of around 28p per litre over the next 9 months.

My average economy on the M5 is now up to 16.3 mpg!

[Simon13]

who told you that?!

you cannot be serious????????

[old_skool]

The article that I was being quoted was from the Telegraph. Here it is:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/new ... -2010.html

Not the 28 pence I was originally told but still a lot of money. Sorry to hijack your thread Lee; you cheap petrol enjoying deviant

[Rory_O]

oh dear!!!! thats not enjoyable... i cant even pay insurance so i defo wont be able to do both soon!!! oh god!!!

[mrLEE30]

then surely the better option is to put your M5 in the post and send it here so i can at least enjoy it cheaply

I must admit every time i come back to UK it scares the hell out of me how you guys can continiue running cars considering the tax, fuel, insurnace,parking, tolls, fines etc etc it is crazy

In fact last time i was there i had a V70 vulva and filling Diesel up was a labourious task as firstly here someone fills the fuel for you, your involvment is to 1. open the window and shout how much money you wish to spend 2. open the fuel flap button (not an E30 isuue!) 3. pay the money 4. close the window (some places even clean this too!!)

but in UK you are expected to fill the damn thing yourself, and i think i spent more in one sitting than i have spent all year in my cab...people wonder why i left the place....
