Good colour scheme. Lovely car. Would certainly like to try one after my E36!

Did you ever sell the CLK?

Did a trade/deal for the M3 in the end. Was lucky I think.

Are the XJS wheels the BBS ones BMW put on the 8-Series?

Yes, I think so, 18" split rim style 5.

Or BBS RC090 to split hairs.

Thanks gents.

Just a heads up in case anyone's interested. You'll need a few dollars though.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Bloody Kidney Stones!!!

Xmas dinners in hospital aren't good at all!

And in other matters e39s given the choice M5 or Alpina B10V8? A year ago there would be only one, but as I approach my 55 birthday with my dicky left knee the Buchlovian appeals more and more.....

Your thoughts gentlemen.....

All the best to fellow threadists I know it's been out for a couple of weeks, but if you're off work and haven't seen it, take a look at the latest petrolicious video.

In other thread news, I finally got my hands on another 911 for Xmas, a nice surprise from the wife



Paint in martini colours or go for something custom
(I reckon I haven't built a model kit since my early teens so this could be quite a learning curve)

Been ogling that through the Internet in the last week, a B5 seems the right step for next time. Are there any Tourings? I would imagine they are like unicorn jizz.

[hornetrider]

I'll answer my own question. 4 x B5 and 1 B5S.

Roller here for a 'bag of sweats' if anyone fancies a go. He might take a dictionary in exchange I'd imagine.

Not that hard to put together, just take your time.

And leave the propshaft out. 4WD, I ask ya.

I can personally attest to the fact that a B5 in doesn't in fact have 492bhp, my butt-dyno rates it at closer to 550bhp, they really are hilarious things to drive
