Yes, it's a downer alright. I was hoping to attend a 25th anniversary meet or two this year with it, and I don't hold out much hope of seeing it back in one piece, if at all :cry:

Major bummer, all the best in getting it recovered. My friend had his 535i sport stolen not too long ago, they lifted it onto the back of a lorry. It ended up the local banger track, i know harsh but BMW's are strong and reliable. If you have a local race track it maybe worth checking? All the best

Was this your old megasquirt beast then? And it still had ms on it?

Oh no that's means it was even more of a shame it has been pinched.

No it's not mine; the exhaust tailpipes came out straight rather than angled like that one, also no red primer on the kit.

Hi Tony,
No news as yet. I took a tour about again in search myself but no joy. I expect it's in a thousand bits by now...

Sorry to jump in late on this but sorry to hear about your lot - what a pain in the arse! They should be shot :shoot1:

I hope it crops up and there's a happy ending to this - keep us updated :wink:

Absolutely. Little point in having anything half-decent in this miserable country any more it seems - you'll go to all the effort of working to save the money to buy it and service it, do it up, etc and along comes some toe-rag to relieve you of it without permission to do as they please. Sickening :(

Maurice
Sorry to hear about you loss of the car mate :(
I doubt anyone scours the net more than i do for cars/spares so i'll give you a shout should i see anything suspicious.
I know its unlikely it'll be found in one piece but i wish you luck and hope i am wrong!
I once personally recovered from a thieving scrote an RS500 that was stolen from me after 10 months and a lot of detective work so you never know it may turn-up.
All the best
