With the arches yeah? Could be an M5 with Schnitzer styling pack? Would be quite nice if so..

Re the "Raced in America" bit - if its that rare and that special there will be pictures of it somewhere. How does he know about the cars supposed special history ? Is it because the previous owner told him so or does he have a history file with the car to back it up ?

pretty sure it has, its hard to try and recall al details,its definatly an m5 and probably a gen acs one, (how many would of been produced ?) it is a nice car and a nice example in great condition, which in my eyes is good enough, its all the other crap that does my head in listening to him go on about and taints is, hes just one of them ya know, i bought a £65 rpm strut brace for mine, looks nice does a good job, 1st thing he says "£65 ? hahahah my strut brace was £400 " ....im like so my cars not an m5 is it

il drive past every day this week and wait for the moment its outside n snap some pics

You should have laughed back in his face and pointed out he just paid £400 for a tube!

Post Mon Mar 21, 2011 6:03 pm

The current owner sounds like a cock

Take everything he says with a pinch of salt and tell him he's talking bull shit about the claimed power , the e30 zone and bmw gurus have spoken

Post up the reg plate tomorrow ?

Post Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:51 pm

he does i know that, i cant fall out with him coz hes alright and mates next door, just gets on my tits at times

maybe its my comment of "well its not an e30 m3 which id much rather have" got his goat

hel come up the hill for a meet in it this summer, and the boys can pull him apart

, although it is a nice car, just no need to come out with stupid bollocks, when its a nice car anyway

Post Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:50 pm

Sounds like a bit of a Burt to me.

Talking of which, the Main Man should have collected his new 116d today. Can't wait for the pics.

when its there next i will and take pics, when chatting to him a few days ago, he was saying its away having someone sorting/trying to sort the mapping out and get it running right

There's a business opportunity in this. Text him saying you know someone who's got a spare set of M5 window switches for only £150. If he goes for that, work up to the hard-to-find M5 pedal rubbers at a mere £500 for the set....

quality

was chatting to him thursday night, which is always a bit "yaaawn" when hes had a few to drink

cars still not back

he seems to think its 1 of 5 ever made and hand built, and the last one around, although he says its just what the prev owner told him, and hes like me to help him find out ?

i said (which i think is the case?) all them m5 were hand built ?

cant really remember it all, but some bits he was saying (i have no idea if thats standard?)

its got twin 50s on each piston ?

theres some sort of problem with the way they are firing up and sequence or something like that ? i think, is what he said

hes still adamant it was raced in america ?

and its a 3.6 , not the 3.7 ? , were they 3.6 or 3.7 ?

i dont think he really knows what ac schnitzer is, and that they are rare anyway, but still done a few

has anyone got any idea how many ac schitzer m5 would of been produced ?

ive tried googling but cant seem to find out much info on them

Post Sun Apr 10, 2011 9:16 pm

Twin 50s on each piston??

This bloke sounds like a prize tosser and the sort you avoid in the pub because he spouts so much shit.

Just wait till the cars back , take some pics and then wait.

Post Mon Apr 11, 2011 8:52 am

This sounds like a classic Burt story!

Could be Zone Gold.

yes mate she is, im a bit amused if people seem to think its not or im ona wind up, all im doing is asking for a bit of info, after listening to him drone on about it, its a very nice car make no mistake, im just trying to find out some schnitzer info, do you know much about em chris ? when its back at his gaff il give you a text

hes not the type of bloke whos internet or even mobile phone friendly, hes 60 odd and likes a drink and can be annoying, he said hel pop up the hill with it chris as he doesnt know a great deal about it , like i said..next time shes out the front il snap some pics, i know hes ploughed a lot of money in to it, the place who done the paint job (ad williams) in emsworth, cost a fortune for their work i know that much, a mate of mine whos a mechanic and got a tech 2 sport has done some work on it,but not seen him about for a while to ask

he harps on about the bhp and 1 of 5, and all this schizzle..i just wanna try n find out a bit about it, or how many schnitzers were made etc

im pretty sure he said it had twin 50s on each piston, is that possible or impossible ? ie could that have anything to do with the bhp claims if the engines had mods ? , or is that total nonsense ?

I know nothing about M5s mate, just wanted to give it a coat of looking at.

you have to remember- i know and neither claim to know anything about engines what so ever, all im doing is re laying what he drones on about

soon as its back chris, il give you a shout, i wonder if aideys mate whos got the hartge cabby and around this area (forget his name?) has seen it at all parked down the road ,but its been in his garage mostly or away being worked on

hahaaha brilliant !!!

his words are like...

"its 380 now, and can go to 620 , but i think il take it to around 500 to be safe and not go too high

hes still adamant it was raced in america, the other day when i bumped in to him outside, he said mine was looking nice, comkmented on the plates etc, i said yes german font pressed plates, but im getting original dealer replica set made up, ...he said im not sure what mine was, as it came from germany to america, before here

Post Mon Apr 11, 2011 9:59 pm

This might have been covered before, but is it a left hooker? If it's RHD then dreams of a German/American previous life seem a teensy bit unlikely.
