Bahama Beige,
and with the tickover so high when warm it looks like it needs a new cold start valve

[petchy]

Bahama Beige,

Yeah that's it!!

Hmmm.... I've nooo idea about this, will have to look on the wiki about it, cheers for the heads up though.

I doubt you will find anything in the wiki about setting your idle up properly not many can sort jetronic,

did he include the original Dealer plates in the sale ? at 17k it should still be wearing them..

[Rav335uk]

MMMM, Bhahama Beige

Is it a big job? How important that it is done? Probs best to get it to a garage then?

I asked about the original plates but he said these were on the car when he got it. Will look into getting some made up as I don't like the GB signs!!

Looks New to me you done well..it's a minter was it garaged

[capri_rob]

Stunning

Are those wheels original ? Thought 14" BBS didnt come along until later on

if not some refurbed bottletops would make it perfect

[Duke137]

^^^^ With that in mind I have an unused Bottletop alloy and new tyre (unused spare) and a selection of 8 other really nice ones. I am willing to part with them for not a lot of money if that is the route you want to take.

I like bottletop alloys, they look great on the chromie models. Did I just say that?


Great car!

[polsta]

awsome colour, looks stunning that, color suits the 4 door and condition and overall style of it, lovely

[petchy]

Thanks guys!

No- I recon they should be bottle tops too, uber

cheers but I have a good set on my breaker saloon, just gotta get around to scrapping it and getting the wheels off.

just gotta wait for the dry wearther so I can get out and have some fun in it!!

Where the fook is diddler - he will be when he sees this thread

[THE_GODFATHER]

stunning motor

[rustfree0]

How much did you manage to buy her for?

[petchy]

How much did you manage to buy her for?

A little less than the guy wanted for it- and a little more than the wife thinks it was!!

[SteSE]

Nice ride

[craggsyE30]

thought i reconised that car park yh im in sunderland not far at all nice car there you go tid say lower it and it will look very nice

[petchy]

Yeah it's looking a bit 'jacked up' for some reason! I will wait until I get my bottletops refurbed and fitted then decide on what to do. Hopefully a 35mm drop will be enough. Don't want it touching the deck like my touring!

[Alpina99]

My God, that's in nice condition !!

[petchy]

My God, that's in nice condition !!

Thanks
I can't wait to get home next month and get her out for a spin!! (provided it is dry ofcourse!!)

I think I will take it to BMW for a full service too.
