E30 340i

[adit]

i visited a car breakers today and there was a 5 series touring for breaking. you'll never guess why it was in there.....it had run out of petrol!!
honestly, i kid you not. the stroppy car dealer owner got so annoyed about it, he said to the yard owner..."make me an offer". so he did, and ended up with a really nice silver 540i, absolutely nothing wrong with it except being worth more in parts than whole!
not a mark on it! beautiful black leather, wood trim and a 4.0 litre V8!

i wonder how busy Ant is these days..

[daimlerman]

Must be worth a tenner...

[leeparkes]

Is it a manual?

[pacerpete]

A NICE 540 touring, with reasonable mileage is a bag + all day long. He will have his work cut out
fragging it to a bag !

+1 i asked about fragging an e34 and due to the fact a lot of them have a lot of morsels to start with and they dont have the following like an e30 most people said i would struggle to get £400 for one in parts.

[Blitz]

that's what i was thinking pete.
i didn't get the mileage, but it is a manual.
i have a mate who's recently put the same engine in his convertible, can't wait to road-test it

Manual! get it bought. 540i manual touring are very rare. Looks like its worth much more now.

Just to clarify, YOU left a , in your words, minty 540 manual touring in the hands of a scrap yard neanderthal to go home and apply some more P40 to a patched up 'D' plate 325

A MANUAL 6 speed 540 touring in NICE condition with reasonable mileage is £2k+ ! You will need to sell a lot of headrests to match the potential eric on the 540 !

"minty" not my word (the most over-used word on the zone!). he is certainly NO neanderthal. i'm not applying any P40 to any car and certainly not my sport, if that's what your implying pete.

i like E30s, i really am not interested in a big, thirsty, estate car. nowhere to put it, don't wish to have to insure it and really can't stand most of the nothing-better-to-do timewasters pretending to be interested in buying a car just for a free joyride, thanks.
the owner won't usually sell cars for the road anyway.

Calm down ! The P40 quip was a bit of light hearted banter, I know you have a sense of humour, you have an IS AND a morris 1100 !

Unlike yourself I like big thirsty estate cars, especially ones I can smell an eric in.
Can I have said Neanderthals number ? If I prise it from his sledge like mits I will give you a financal token of my appreciation !

[Simon13]

yeah your missing out on some potential profit, they aren't some 12mpg sh!tter. I'd LOVE one

is an Eric?

ok mate, i shall speak to him myself tomorrow. and calling him a neanderthal is not something i would include in my forthcoming "intelligent things to say to someone" book, due for release soon



ok si, he did say the engine was sweet and bombproof!

[spook]

Ady you neanderthal coont where is this car

[Andyboy]

Eric = Ernie (Morcambe & Wise) = an 'earner' (profit).

A Bag = bag of sand = a grand (£1000).

Billies = Billy Bunters = Punters.

"Fackin' ell. I just 'ad some Council Billy drippin' in Tom come in on that 540i. The caant bunged me a couple of bags, lovely eric in that"

[adit]

oh, and B above.
