Here goes, all my old BM's. A couple here I wish I'd kept!

My first a '90 525 M20 Bought sept 96 for £7200 with 70k up.

Image
Image

My 2nd and a personal fave. a '93 525 M50tu. A well specced one this with AC and sunroof and special order Silver Nappa hide. Bought July 98 with 64k up for £13895. Kept it 5 years, put 40 k on it for the price of regular services, a water pump and a set of shock and brakes. This car STILL looks this good today. Live 150 yards away with a neighbour and is still on it's original exhaust FFS! Refuses to deteriorate let alone die! I want it back.

Image
Image

Then my '00 523i Step with full factory sport kit. Had more options than it had a right to. Was an ex demo car when new and had Glass electric roof, the FULL OBC, PDC, factory Nokia comms, grey leather, 6 disc, top tint, ALL the Mtech bits with the sport kit inc. MFSW, black headlining, Sports seats, suspension and at that time the sports kit came with the style 49 5 spoke star alloys. I think the only thing it didn't have awas sat nav! Bought April 2003 with 74k up for £13995. Although probably the best looking (IMO) car I've had, it wasn't the most reliable but thats e39's for you. Sold it after 3 years for £7k and struggled at that price then!! Was a bit underpowered though at only 170 bhp compared to the lighter 192 brake e34.

Image
Image

My current cab, an '89 325i. Had it for 4 years now and still love it to bits.

Image
Image

'93 e36 318iSE bought for 75 quid!!! Put a set of front shocks and pads, 2nd hand ABS pump and a drivers seat squab and outed the shed for £800!

Image
Image

'90 e30 318i touring (150 quid). raped it of it's alloys for a mate, M tech 1 steering wheel, the bonnet for the cab and the load cover / dog guard for another mate and sold it on for £200.

I've shown you mine now show me your's

I have only had two Beemers in my life!
1989 316i on a F plate who I gave a lot of TLC and I would say that I miss it a lot because it was a good car! It took me around England, Scotland, Norway and Sweden! Some guys on the forum know this car, for all the good help I got from you on the forum, and also that I went some few times to the Zone meeting on Ace Cafe with it
Image

This is my current car, 1987 E32 BMW 735iA who I also give a lot of TLC, bougt if from an arse who didnt gave it any TLC at all, but she gets better for every month! :D

Ok So here goes :

'85 320i. Lowered. 15" BBS ( Golf GTi 16v Alloys - strangely I think they worked at the time ). Glass sunroof ( aaargh ! ) Ansa exhaust ( this was great - shame you can't get them any more ) No PAS, electric windows or central locking. Loved it !

Then a tie for the best car I have ever owned - '89 325i - Mint condition Full dealer history, low miles, 2 prev owners, Completely standard. How I miss it......
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Sold to get out of debt and buy the hapless piece of junk parked next to it...
Image

Returned a few years later to the fold - '89 320i SE - Full dealer history, Mtech suspension kit from new, Tech 2 Rear bumper from new, Sports trim, OBC etc

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

And then the other part of the tie for best car I ever owned :

'95 E36 328i Coupe, 52k when I bought it, Full dealer history, LSD, half leather sports trim, OBC. Sold because I got a company car and still owed money on it......damn shame.

Is that touring in brilliant red Kedge as the colour looks really deep ? I'm guessing that that I'll need to get the polisher out for mine if it is. :eek:
