didn't quite finish it m8 . no time or money so i sold it to oze30 who raped it and put most of the running gear into his touring.

i bought it in aberdeen yesterday.

typical ebay impulse buy .

got the train up and drove it home last night its oh so smooth and effortless power.

initially thought the geabox wasn't changing gear as you barely notice it changing.

may just sell it on as it was a good price

I used to have one near ten years ago. And I have a funny feeling that I will buy one again. Such a great cars and now you can get them for next to nothing.

yeah.. but if you are selling, now is the time as the road fund license is about to go up for "Gas guzzlers"

anyone want to buy a full service 540i? :lol:

Wed Mar 12, 2008 9:30 pm

thing is if you want a big engines car you'll pay the cost regardless.

Wed Mar 12, 2008 10:02 pm

if you buy them at the right age you get a lot of car for the money. a couple of hundred more for road tax isnt going to break the bank and if it does you probably cant afford to run a big car anyway.

Thats it Nickso, justify that looming 535!

I tried to do that, it just makes the crash back to reality all the more painful!

BTW Dek, it looks tidy!

And raping was exactly what that touring needed!
Tell me you wern't seriously going to finish off that transplant and leave it in that rotten turd of a car

no m8 it was only for mock up and trying ideas out then put it all into 3 dr

Thu Mar 13, 2008 9:02 pm

imo the best looking 7 series to date, especially when fitted with 20" alpina look BMW wheels.

thank fook for that

..does any one else think this new tax bracket will affect the used car market?..if its a hundred quid cheaper to tax an older car surely it makes more sense to avoid new cars..or am i being naive?
