Re: EBay Finds


Would never expect to see any of those over there....


I saw a post the other day on Facebook where someone has imported a Rover 75 into the USA. They're just hitting the 25(?) year rule and there are a few Anglophile mentalists. I guess also they're interesting over there because they didn't ...

Re: What did you do today?

Juke was petrol though wasn't it? Like a 5%-ish difference in price between the two here.

The old 4 Series is starting to look a bit bland now. The previous 3 Coupe was a bit sharper.


I think I've said it before but my neighbour has a M4 of that era. The aggressive front look makes it look sharp. But still pretty anonymous.

He's not long remapped it. An absolute animal now ...

I wouldn't have put Christine down as someone who likes goes through numberplate databases to find anomalies.

When these came out three years ago I thought they were just awful. Now I sort of like them:


I think the number plate across that massive gopping grille helps break up the front visually a bit and not as bad. Or modern BMW styling is so awful that it had made the older ones look more 'normal ...

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2004 BMW Z4 2.2 & 2005 BMW 330i

I could have had it for scrap value - probably under £200. Was quite tempted as a project to faff around with but diesel is no good for me with the Bristol CAZ making it annoying. Maybe if it was a petrol or a 6cyl diesel I'd reconsidered.

Second hand engines went for too much to justify even that.

Fitted the Carplay/android auto box at the weekend. Actually took two attempts as the first died shortly after installation. This is where I'm glad I paid extra for a mr12volt units over a cheaper AliExpress special as they shipped a replacement next day.
