wellll, i was after a car for going to scotland and back on the weekends and was looking at a nice 5 series to bowl up there, but after reading up all the electrical problems everyone was having i thought 'stick to what you know best' and thats e30's.

this beut was on ebay 1 hour and was fairly local so i thought fook it and made an offer. went up to look (in the dark :mad: ) and after 2 minutes looking around i knew it was a bargain. bought it that night, you shouldve seen the look of the bloak when i said i'll take it...now (this is at ten at night), burned home in it and to work and so far all good 8)

gave it a good poke and the only rot i can find is the usual rear tailgate and one of the arch lips where some tard has screwed the skirts on without any protection.

sorry for the crap photos, just took them on my phone quick. i'll get some decent ones after a clean or something.

managed to get some half decent pictures of the beast. after the drive up to scotland it was absolutely covered in salt so i had to give it a clean, but its been snowing all bloody week! in the end i just man'd up and went out with my trap hat on and gave her a scrub! not even scared.
