How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Thanks Brian.

My sentiments exactly pete. :(

On the plus side, I do have nearly built 2.8 stroker to install, if it comes to it.
:)


Edit, just been informed that the 320 was removed last
year and replaced with a "proper" engine, phew!!!!

Have also been offered, by the same seller, a 58000 mile
I owner 2.5si Z4 convertible. With FSH, for £4500.
Got to be worth a butchers.

Also DVLA were informed of the engine change last year.

They may well have been, but '320i' is the model name, not anything to do with the engine size per se.
It was born a 320i, and always will be a 320i, regardless of what engine is fitted.

At £4500 pete, I may well be "taking it". But maybe not keeping it.

It sounds just like our life style, something that should be straight forward is more often than not "complicated" :D Keeps one on ones toes :P

You don't want a Z4 chap. Lovely cars but they are at the age where some very, very expensive faults are now common. Electric power steering (motor on the column) £2600 fitted, hood motor ruined due to blocked drain hole in rear quarter...... have a guess what that costs. Good luck finding used parts!
A nice E30 convertible is a better plan.

You are quite correct, Andy, I don't want a Z4.

"At £4500 pete, I may well be "taking it". But maybe not keeping it."

Already got a buyer lined up. :)
