Simon has already enquired about the AC Sphincter car I believe.

Why not try something from the 'other side', such as a Mercedes 190E Cosworth, or even the epic 500E?

A 500E is a very serious car and its got more torque then an E34 M5 can dream of. I think there even cooler then an M5. No manual though

Just how thirsty are the V8's?

There's more to life than mpg.

Difference between 'daily driver' and 'Sunday morning blaster'?

He'd look good in a granite 850 that needs some minor TLC

or a 750i SWB. Pete i need and economical cruiser for away hockey games. This could be the ticklet, V12 opulence

Post Sun Sep 07, 2014 11:18 am

What's the story on the 850 Pete?

Post Sun Sep 07, 2014 1:57 pm

So. Have you seen the damaged v8 B10 on eBay? Reshell?

Post Sun Sep 07, 2014 2:04 pm

Just looked, he thinks thats an easy repair! Its totally f*cked, breaker breaker

WOW, you must be using the throttle as an on/off switch

I'm getting 22mpg with daily commuting

Post Mon Sep 08, 2014 7:51 pm

Dan WTF are you doing in it? LPG drops it down also i guess but thats V12 territory!

Chris you sold the 525i then?

Post Mon Sep 08, 2014 11:14 pm

I dont tickle the throttle, all the power is used properly as and when needed. All this 20+ mpg from a V8 is just nonsense to me, same as when I was dailying the E34 525i there is talk all over the net of 30+mpg but in reality I used to average 20, never ever saw above 25

Im sure the clocks are showing 16mpg which is a petrol estimate, but f**k it, you dont buy a V8 for fuel economy

Post Mon Sep 08, 2014 11:21 pm

As a side note, the N62 is supposed to be a lot more fuel efficient so I sort of aspire to one even though it would have to be an E60 Wagon, its also comes as a B48 which is much more interesting than the MPG figures

Steven might be having it on the weekend dude, in the meantime its sitting fairly harmlessly on the driveway

The OBC is showing a 25mpg figure for the around town stuff...

I stole this one for £1200 + delivery when it had shat a head gasket at 45k

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1998-S-ALPINA ... 3f3c47776e

thinking it would be a quick flip I went for it, a grand at the stealers in parts (X5 4.6 steel gasket ) and lots of swearing she was new again

TBH the fuel wasn't that different in the 3.3 !!

550i Manual FTW!

Auto for the win Barry, cog swapping in big donkey'd barges is massively pointless

Post Tue Sep 09, 2014 7:36 pm

+1.

As romantic as the notion of a manual box is, there's a reason only 3 buyers ever went for DIY. It's a pain in the arse.

E60 though?

And N62?

Post Tue Sep 09, 2014 7:39 pm

Manual 550's are epic!

And ive been using a LHD 850i Manual for the last couple of days. Much fun!

Post Tue Sep 09, 2014 7:42 pm

I know Andy, its pretty much inevitable though, it wont be long before all the E39 shite is complete and utter scrap, so there wont be much choice then, unless you can recommend anything else? I dont want an E36 BTW

I just had 4 Bilstein dampers turn up today for the E39 wagon, 90k and the original are well and truly shagged

Post Tue Sep 09, 2014 8:36 pm

Benz E Class wagon, 2003 onwards. The W211 is a much better car than the E60.

I'm down to 2 choices, the current favourite the red 3.6 saloon. Or today a late M reg Avus blue 6 speed saloon has come into the mix but i've not seen it yet.

Post Wed Sep 10, 2014 6:04 pm

The Anusblau 6 speed is the better investment - the last of the proper hand built cars.
