Hi Guys

The 318iS arrived safely in UK and delivered to warehouse in London NW10.

Any suggestions for companies or interested parties to trailer her up her to warrington/Runcorn on Monday?

Cheers, Mark

have a look on the likes of pistonheads & car & classic as there should be a few on there who do this for a living.

you might get a few recommendations on there.

Shipley have given me three choices for a Tuesday collection.

I'll be using Transporterhire once I get the house sorted.

HMRC have provided the Import clearance so next is inspection/approval and registration.

Jerzy is collecting tomorrow...

Drove her round the Pickfords car park for 5 minutes... started on first turn of the key... not bad after 13 weeks on the high seas.
M-tech 1 wheel felt good after the Toyota POS.

No rust, that's the reason I brought her over.

I will need to clean the underside, arches and inner wings, then waxoil first before hitting the salt.
No sunroof which makes keeping the brown stuff at bay easier.
Even in Oz, e30 sunroofs can be a rust trap.
