Started off earlier this week, decided to advertise both the MX5 AND the e36 convertible thinking, "whichever sells first, I'll keep the other".
Problem was, I took calls on both. The MX was a sure fire and the guy on the e36 stated (after looking at the photos), I'll bring cash and if it's any good I'll take it there and then".
I knew then he'd be driving it home so Friday night I bit the bullet and drove to Dunstable to look at the car below. Yes, I got stuck in the closed M25 fiasco and it took me 3.5 hours to get from work in Slough to Dunstable! A f*cking nightmare. I kinda liked what I saw but as they were closed when I got there I couldn't drive it.
Yesterday I got up, Cleaned both the MX and the e36 and promplysold them both with both buyers taking them there and then and Weighing in with cash
. There can't be many e36's still selling for £5100 
This left me with a predicament. Only the company hack astra for both myself and the wife to use and me working away all week!
So today, courtesy of a mate, we drove back up to Dunstable and bought this. It's a 2000 530i mSport auto. Drove it home and I have to say, it's spot on. Apologies for the photos, crappy off the phone. It needs a damn good clean, a bit of paint and a couple of rear tyres (255/40's
) but it's very tight, has a superb history and is a 1 owner car. 93k up, all BMW stamps in the book with 3 green still lit. Even has the full OBC and the glass roof. I'm Lovin' it! Has the Alacantara trim not leather (which I thought I'd be upset about but actually, it's a very nice place to be) and unfortunately, the wood not the aluminium which I may have to change.
