I mean, come on!
only 6 months road tax, 6 months MOT, Black leather Interior, Air con, Electric seats, Heated Seats, self dim rear view mirror, 4 x new BF goodrich Tyres and an m60 3.0 v8....oh and a 1/2 tank of fuel (45l!)
Think I did ok, eh?
Video of engine running-with blowing exhaust! got reciepts for nearly £9000 when it had its nikasil recall in 1998
http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?doc ... 1510056461
You can see the dented bootlid and damaged rear panel here- nothing a bit of spray and tidying wouldnt sort
So, What do we think?

Brilliant! Looks good. Get that boot sorted and it would be perfect.

Very impressive. The new tyres must be worth more than you paid for the car!
Nice engine for the Tourer, I agree with Daz. The leather must be worth money if you do frag it too.
My dad used to get 27-28 on a run in an E34 530i with 5 speed auto, so 33 may be a bit optomistic... 15 around town would be about right though...
Currently slumming it in an E46 Touring

Absolute bargain mate.
Bet the owner was kicking himself for letting it go so cheap, could surely stick in the paper for £800 and off she goes?!

I'm surprised that the great council king has not yet found this last bastion of decency within the ranks of the 2p carr owning lot!

Nice car for small potatoes! What was the story with the bootlid damage - ram-raid that went wrong? Also what was causing that virus warning on this thread earlier?

bit of guttering fell off and hammered the rear/side of car during a storm.
as for virus warning, thats for us execs to know when the plebs are trying to access our hallowed halls!
seriously, no idea mate- post up the message in the website problems forum and we'll look into it!

£10 says you cant get a bigger engine and better spec for less money! Has to be BMW and have tax and ticket.

Pyschochild has just bought one, but he paid a fair bit more. In fairness, his does have an LPG conversion though so should be cheap to run.

mine was cheaper though it was without mot and tax...
£100 got me the same interior (couldn't even give it away when i broke it!!!!) a 3.5 M30 (guess where that is now!!!) FSH and 98k on the clock!!!
it also gave me a whole load of goodies for the E34 sport we had at the time. how about individual map/reading lights for every occupant?
the bigger they are, the harder they fall! gotta love it!
