Wht do you think

[B7]

Very nice. First thing to junk are the rims!!!! METRICS!!!!!!!

[The_Diddler]

Looks like a respectable barge that, plenty of space in the back, that will be useful

[fingerman]

I know.... metrics! I like the look of them but the price of the tyres is sh!te

Always wanted that leather tho

[Rav335uk]

I've got some BBS wheels for that in brilliant nick.

[fingerman]

Cool - will check out the tread tomorrow and give you a shout

[Rav335uk]

No probs

[Blitz]

Metrics look .

[Alex]

looks like a good buy, nice interior, although you could have got one with a proper engine

[djk]

Bargain money though. Nice barge! Nearly bought a hellrot one last year, but the guy wanted silly money, and it was a slushbox.

[fingerman]

I expected to get outbid at the last minute, but for that price I'm chuffed

The 2 litre M50 isn't that bad, it still goes and sounds nice - a 2.5 would have been better but still happy

[e30topless]

looks like a good chariot apart from the horrid wheels

Sean you certainly have got the e34 bug,

hows the oil burner doing ? lemme know if your selling !!

[fingerman]

Cheers Steve, drove it home today and it was spot on

Just had new discs/pads all round subframe bushes and lowering springs - best handling E34 I've driven! The wipers don't hit the bonnet and there's no shimmy at 50-70mph. Leather is pretty good to!

Needs a few little cosmetic bits replacing which is no problem - biggest pain is that the windscreen was recently replaced and there's quite a bit of wind noise when getting to 60mph+ Done a search and it's quite common for the fitters to not get it spot on - may take out the scuttle covers and fill it with putty

The tds is still going strong, getting around 650-700 miles a tank so happy. She's going into the local indy's to change front os shocker and maybe steering rods so we'll see

May keep both for a while

Give it a good test this bank holiday weekend with the missus and 3 kids in the back - all in car seats (apart from the wife!)

No overheating, clutch good, smooth gear changes and no knocks/bangs etc, comfy leather and all went well - put some putty on the inside os windscreen A pillar to eliminate the windnoise and success!

Do really like this one so will pimp it up a bit - clear lenses all aound en route and tinted rears - sound system after that

[Ziggy]

The seats are properly comfy, aren't they? & the 2.0 does go better than you'd think! Got shot of the metrics, but mine's still pretty similar...
