Hey guys
Just wanted to say hello to all & to answer the questions regarding 146 on e-bay, which I picked up & drove (hard!) home today.
I was going to post a reply in the other thread but it got a bit off track towards the end!
Anyway, I won the car for 3455, but paid 3150 once I had seen it. Nothing major, just tried my luck & it worked!! Worth every penny!!!!!!!
Rest assured guys the car will not be broken! I intend to carry out a full strip / rebuild of the engine, refurb the alloys, retrim the front seats. Gearbox & diff to be stripped & inspected.
Why?
Why not! I get to see what 300k does to an original M motor!
The car is on the cusp of being restored or broken. I couldn't bear to see one broke on mileage alone, & as a BMW tech it allows me to work on the REAL, ORIGINAL BMW's & refresh my memory as all i do is those damn diesel engines!!!!!!!:hihi: ( 2 waiting for me on Monday:grrrr: )
I bought the car as a toy/project for myself as I sold my E39 M5 last year :sad1:
I had an E34 in both 3.6 & 3.8 form so this completes the history!
Regular updates will appear from time to time.
I liked the "who we are feature", I met davidoli at Donnington a couple of years ago but would never had known it is him on the board, so Hi Davidoli!
Right, where's my 10mm spanner......................
