What a lovely looking thing for less than 700 notes!

I was looking at that last week with another zoner as it was on for £1295?

Twas. Price reduced due to no serious interest. Didn't look a bad tram for £1295, never mind £695, if you can live with 23mpg. High Wycombe though.

The Birmingham of the south

Does look nice

Used to smoke about in my ex father in laws 1992 model. Brilliant car, never failed but not shy on petrol.

Not much fun on tight roads with traffic coming towards you though and reverse is selected on the autos by a rubber band, which is prone to snapping.

They are criminally undervalued. Pacerpete had a lovely calypso red, 735i with cream leather, electric seats, history. It done a little higher mileage but it needed nothing, air con even worked. Struggled to sell and let go for a simular price as this one for spares to Iraq. I think much cooler then a rusty sport at 4 x the price.

If it wasn't for the 15mpg around the houses I think I would seriously jump on a train to take a look at that, the E46 wagon is boring me silly

thats not good Lee!

theres a guy on the 5 forum who has a manual 735i with all the alpine bits on it. He wants strong money but i'd smoke about in a nice e32. Theres none left really

Pete has that shortwheel base 750 with lots of morsels fitted still.

The 325 is doing about 22 on the 5 mile schlep into work and I saw 36 out of it on a run to our gaff in Norfolk last weekend. There's still no point in using more than 1/4 throttle on it as it makes no difference to the rate of progress.

Hmmmm.... That must have quite a big spare wheel well, no?

330........ dag dag! loads of grunt.

A b3? you'd get 22 out of mine I expect on the commute

I may move it on an just buy a small spunk box and put some money towards a bike, still need to scratch that itch (and the road surface)

I was watching it, but something aint right to go from 1295 to 695 in a week of it being on sale... even with a years ticket on it?

Or am I missing something apart from the shocking MPG?

That's a great plan mate, fast bike FTW

If an E46 is boring you to tears hanging off a thou sports bike with knee and toe sliders on the ground will get the old adrenalin flowing nicely!

My old dear is probably gong to move her 51 plate Polo Gti on and that'll do me for getting about.

If I didn't have to throw 10 bags at the house then things would be different.

Plus the drag car is a driving chassis now and putting out naughty power (should be over 1000bhp/tonne) so that may turn me into brown bread this year too.

I've still got my E32, had him 10 years this July. We've done 95'000 miles since 2003 including Scotland, France and Munich twice. It's a 1989 730i manual with the early 750i wheels and wide grille. It's mega clean and will be 25 next April - I may well repeat my trip to Dingolfing that we did when it was 20 years old.
They're absolutely worthless so it's not worth selling.

Andy, yours is superb, on those alloys its looks excellent.
I have a panel damaged one, brilliant to drive. But I'm looking to move mine on as I fancy the v12 for some reason....
