Unless it's a classic French car.

No.

Though selective yellow foglights might have a point.

Have a look at the project thread

That is nice and he's done some serious work but if I was paying 2.8 tax I'd probably just go for the 3.0 to be honest.

The badge is a bit crooked there.

It's like that on purpose. It was just lightly placed on top. Also, it has 3 plastic clips, so I couldn't even push it in like that. It's in the right way now and I'll put the grille on the car tomorrow and see how it looks.

So, I wrapped the grill badge in carbon fibre and I think it looks good. Might spray lacquer over it later, but I'm not sure yet. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out if I should leave the rest of the grille blue, or spray it black?

I'd keep the blue, looks better imo.

Post facelift 520 sport if not more. The pre facelift is way underpowered and the SE is sloppy in comparison to the sport.

Era, doesn't matter now anyway, just had a look inside, no MFSW and no Cruise. No point looking at it if it doesn't even have the minimum spec I want.

What do people think of the pre facelift 520i's? I know they're only 2.0 with 150hp but it's still a straight six and plenty for me, it's an SE but not sure of the exact spec. There's one in my park owned by a neighbour that can't afford to run it and I'm tempted to offer like 500-600 for it and do it up over the course of the Summer and have it ready to drive in October/November. It's a 1999 520i.

When ever 520i's are mentioned here it always reminds me of a guy into course he has an early e60 520i. It's burning a serious amount of oil all the time. Probably leaking a bit too. I told him almost a year ago to get it looked at straight away. A year later still hasn't got it looked at throws in some oil whenever he remembers :eek: which is normally when it's way below min mark. The oil level light is on all the time as I assume the sensors fcuked.

The low oil pressure light has come on on more than one occasion due to the oil level going so low the engine I assume couldn't keep operating pressure :eek: still goes though has never actually broken done. I think it's unbelievable the car managed to stay going and he does a fair bit of driving everyday. That BMW isn't known for reliability but his one takes some anise and stays going

I'd be shocked if any motor factors stocked it tbh. It's usually the preserve of a dedicated detailing site.

Ya, I probably aimed too high!

Right, so on my way home from work (half day - summer - yay ) I go into a motor factors, looking for that Gtechniq C4 Trim Restorer, and the bellend goes on and says that Simoniz Back to Black is just as good, so I, the gullible fool bought it. Get home there and spray some onto the faded trim, nada, once it's wiped in it just evaporates away. I hate being mislead :mad: Quite the trivial matter, but still.
