I'm with geez here. Richy it's past time you had a change of fortunes, hope this is the start.
At least with a 320i the cylinder heads aren't so fragile! Enjoy it Dude.

Richy, just spotted this. Glad you are pretty happy with it. She aint mint mate as u said urself(and as i said b4) but yup, cheap motoring is always good!
did she behave on the way home ok? theres a 4door grey interior in the scrappers down the road. again, aint mint, but its grey with black sides, instead of beige. want me to ask how much? guaranteed it'll be cheap and i can drop it off for you before i go to USA. Its in cleaner state than the beige one too. want me to ask?
if that 320 gets a bit of G3+ paint, it should look pretty tidy. love the drop and the Pinas.

oh yea...looks mint in the street light too. lol :wink:

its liklely to be date of 1st registration.

a lot of dealers used to pre register cars on 31st december to make their figures look better iirc. (dunno if its still done)
