    I was the same :D
    Although I had driven a couple of 330 before hand, the 5's were on another level power wise. Especially the 535 but, compared to what I had, the 530 would still have been intergalactically so much better!

    Since I was in the college years a Golf and Passat, both 1.9 jobs, nothing special man :)
    Also had a short stint with a Megane coupe I took in a trade :cool:

    So this is my first decent car really, well some would call it that :D



    No man she'll happily do that cruising on the motorway, 35-37 driving it on a bit. Town kills it though! As for the Focus, it was a disaster with fuel!
    I had a short stint with an evo 5 and it was **** all worse in reality!

    Thats a nice jump up! When I was 16 I had a Seat Ibiza with 42ish bhp, next car was the E34, some serous gettin used to, over 4 times the hp! :eek: I easily had the biggest car in 6th year :pac:

    Mind you if I could afford the tax, I'd be driving round in a 535 myself.... A petril one ;)

    Not debadged but that's not a difficult job. It is a v8 e60 with nearly 400 bhp and no quad exhaust or garish m5 grilles etc that came with the e60 variant. A real Q car.

    Silver one. More questions such as when did I buy the vehicle (I'm 23 and the car was bought in 1985, do the maths) is it a saloon (even though it says 2 door convertable on the book) and when was it last taxed (on the RF100)

    Now I've been told it was never taxed. So what's that disc on the screen saying :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Haha. Has it been taxed since you were born.
    I recall a very old tax disc on the windscreen.
    Whats the plan for the others. Or are they gone too far?
