I like the e30, the 6 series and the 8, i also think the touring ones look alot better than the saloons.

I dont like silver cars either, but I'm sure there are lots of silver cars out there better than mine;)

Ha ha I own a silver e60 saloon your worst description of a bmw then

Thinly veiled "Ive got 2 turbos" post:pac:

I'll just say nothing from now on then, its a motors forum and everytime I mention the car I get called on it!

Ditto:D

Wait until you hear mine at the meet! What I can't understand is there is no real play on either end and no damage to the blades either!
I'm living with the fact is it'll be great for a long time after I do it

Hah I think mine doesnt want to be remapped or something, i first noticed it after I confirmed for the remap.
I'm assuming swapping the turbos is a big dollar job?

On mine its easy enough done, not overly hard to get at. Just the price of the ****ers!
Don't know about yours man!

From a quick google, they say e60 turbo failure is "extremely rare", but yeah they reckon (on bmwland uk) that it costs 2-3k stg

That 7'er would be a nice car in black with m spec and better alloys though

Those 7'rs are amazing vehicles.

Ugly as sin though

It's a boggo spec '98 318i with no tax. It might be in good condition but you may post it in the dreamers thread at that price.

Knock a grand off if you actually want it sold.

Focus booked in for its doe next Friday fingers crossed we've never failed a doe before. But then nothing would suprise me with focus and apparently it become a lot stricter and unfortunately more expensive 0ver 95 euro PLUS VAT. It always sickens me when people go on about how the nct is a rip off at 55 euro it's a bargain compared to a doe.

I hope the insulation tape holds up the rush hour commute and charge down the motorway......

I really don't know what to do with my car. I wish someone else would make the decision for me. Part of me thinks it's a waste of money to fix while I have a gut feeling fixing it would be best.

Who knows.
