£140 doesnt get you much nowadays.....

[320Touring]

I mean, come on!

only 6 months road tax, 6 months MOT, Black leather Interior, Air con, Electric seats, Heated Seats, self dim rear view mirror, 4 x new BF goodrich Tyres and an m60 3.0 v8....oh and a 1/2 tank of fuel (45l!)

Think I did ok, eh?











Video of engine running-with blowing exhaust! got reciepts for nearly £9000 when it had its nikasil recall in 1998

You can see the dented bootlid and damaged rear panel here- nothing a bit of spray and tidying wouldnt sort



So, What do we think?

[E30BeemerLad]

where's the engine? can only see a mound of plastic.

Are those tyres on the wrong direction?

But seriously, good call mate, boardroom material now Neil

Lol! yep, upper middle management material dude!

dunno whether she'll be tidied and punted, or a keeper. got reciepts from last year for all new brakes, bushes, brakepipes and fuel tank- about £3000, so she's solid as....

[Andy335Touring]

Nice motor, bargin !

[320Touring]

Nice motor, bargin !

ta muchly! rather chuffed with it too. gave me 32 mpg down the road on the motorway.

bit like oliver reid in town tough

[Simon13]

Nice buy there, i'd like to see you get some economy from it! lol

[320Touring]

Nice buy there, i'd like to see you get some economy from it! lol

If I fix the zorst, and service the bugger she should be good for about 33-35 on a run (5speed autobox )
Reckon i'll see 15 round town though- damn 32v engine needs spooling to get anywhere!

[dazleeds]

u buggerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Damn good find mate

could do with that meself

so whens the engine off in the touring then???

[m-dtech]

£140 heap of shit lol

£150 gets you a much better car

So when we chopping this up and fitting important bits to an E30 ??

[320Touring]

u buggerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Damn good find mate

could do with that meself

so whens the engine off in the touring then???

lol daz! yeah, proper council king car. so comfey to drive- like having a 140mph sofa. handles ok for a big old bus too!

engine- touring? no way ! 12v 6pot 2.0 all the way in the touring!

[Gortour]

Very impressive. The new tyres must be worth more than you paid for the car!
Nice engine for the Tourer, I agree with Daz. The leather must be worth money if you do frag it too.
My dad used to get 27-28 on a run in an E34 530i with 5 speed auto, so 33 may be a bit optomistic... 15 around town would be about right though...

[320Touring]

Very impressive. The new tyres must be worth more than you paid for the car!

got a reciept for £421 for supplying and fitting them done 2k miles since

[Gwynleym10]

Good buy, its great how people think "older" cars are worthless!

All you need to do know is find some LPG parts for it.

[dazleeds]

cmon neil

let the m20 go

give the tourer the engine she really deserves

[320Touring]

cmon neil

heh, she deserves the m20b20 she was born with. plans are afoot to pep it up a bit, and I have a whole Host of jobs lined up to do-just gotta get access to a garage!

[Simon13]

i suppose if it was a 740 it wouldn't of been so cheap, shame as they are a quick motor

How executive you are now! hell everett might be your friend with his 250k plus manual 730 6 pot!

[Jimbob]

Absolute bargain mate.

Bet the owner was kicking himself for letting it go so cheap, could surely stick in the paper for £800 and off she goes?!

Engine -> Touring

I'm surprised that the great council king has not yet found this last bastion of decency within the ranks of the 2p carr owning lot!

[Speedtouch]

Nice car for small potatoes! What was the story with the bootlid damage - ram-raid that went wrong? Also what was causing that virus warning on this thread earlier?

bit of guttering fell off and hammered the rear/side of car during a storm.

as for virus warning, thats for us execs to know when the plebs are trying to access our hallowed halls!

seriously, no idea mate- post up the message in the website problems forum and we'll look into it!

[dazleeds]

hmmmm
im on the lookout for a daily driver while sports off the road
im now very tempted to set myself the challenge of finding
an old barge for peanuts

[320Touring]

£10 says you cant get a bigger engine and better spec for less money! Has to be BMW and have tax and ticket.

any age allowed.

go for it you schlaaag!

[stuartgallafant]

...an m60 3.0 v8....oh and a 1/2 tank of fuel...

at least you'll know where EVERY petrol station in England is! You'll even be on 1st name terms with most of the staff!!!

lol! I always fill up before heading to england

up in scotland, its no bother- have a sainsbury's across the road with ul at 83.9 and a nectar card!

seems to be cheaper than the m30 to run so far, think 5 speed autoox and longer diff help

[stuartgallafant]

thats not fair!!!!

[Alwyn]

Pyschochild has just bought one, but he paid a fair bit more. In fairness, his does have an LPG conversion though so should be cheap to run.

[gareth]

mine was cheaper though it was without mot and tax...
£100 got me the same interior (couldn't even give it away when i broke it!!!!) a 3.5 M30 (guess where that is now!!!) FSH and 98k on the clock!!!

it also gave me a whole load of goodies for the E34 sport we had at the time. how about individual map/reading lights for every occupant?

the bigger they are, the harder they fall! gotta love it!

[snoops]

thats a steal mate!

[Rosc0PColtrane]

nice donor car
