The decent M5's are now getting rare, and up for sale, even more so.

However keep a keen eye on autotrader and here.

BTW welcome to the board !!!

hope that was of some use.

Regards

Hi Dave,

My car isn't for sale, but I'm also in Chester, so let me know if you need a hand checking out any cars locally.

Cheers,
Bryn.

dave - i also offer any knowledge i have - been through quite a lot with my beast E34 3.6l. - give me a shout if you want - bryn - sorry to pester you - i am working in warrington at the moment and will be there for about another 3 or 4 weeks - unfortunatley i had my car in at bmw chester during the week - some silly bugger shunted another car into the rear of me on monday last week. - his fault - but still £1845 to rectify - if you fancy meeting up in the coming weeks - just shout.

Being shunted into is terrible. What happened?

hello stranger - (ralph) - i was sitting waiting to draw away at a roundabout near swindon - a "dreamer" in a rover 620 did not stop to wait in the queue for getting onto the roundabout - he hit a nice new audi a4 which decided it wanted to make contact with me - the rover and th audi are write offs - rover's front drivers corner - non existant - is that spelt correct ? - the audi's rear passanger quarter kinked nicley at the wheel arch - me - i need a new rear bumper and rear panel - BMW Chester quote £1845 - 5 days working period - pain in the arse more than anything else - just waiting for the third parties insurance to aurthorise repairs - hope it gets sorted soon - and by the way - insurance companies - GIVE THEM LOADS OF MONEY AND GET NO HELP IN RETURN WHEN TIMES ARE NEEDY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way - did you get my e-mail ref another E34 M5 in bournemouth looking for some attention / serviceing - spelling again ?

Hi Chaps, I have an E34 monster that at present is sitting in my drive awaiting restoration. Do you know of anywhere that has the capability to do this work at the right price???
I don't want to part with her as she has served me for 197000 miles & is part of my family now, that's why I want her to have some TLC in her old age!!

Hi Durt,

I'm currently very busy moving house, but let me know when you're free and perhaps we can sort a meet out. I actually move to Chester at the start of October, but am not too far away at the moment. How long are you up here for?

Cary,

What kind of restoration do you need? My friend owns a bodyshop that is used by our local main dealer. He did a bare metal restoration of my E30 shell, so if you need any bodywork, he comes highly recommended. He's currently doing a Jag XJ220 for a local dealer

He's based in the North West, but worth the journey if you want a first class job. If its mechanical, I know someone who is very good and reasonably priced, but they are very busy so wouldn't be able to do it for 6 months or so probably!!

Cheers,
Bryn.
