And I'm now looking to add to the fleet....

With the trackday itch beginning to take hold, me not wanting to ruin the 540i and house renovations due to start after moving in a couple of weeks I may consider getting an "odd-job" car, <£800 ideally so I can say its equivalent to a few weeks van hire....

With the old-school BTCC images playing in my head there is only one option that will fulfill both criteria...I'm sure most can guess what it is...I'm now looking to make arrangements for the weekend.....I know its not RWD but its the best I can think of that A practical, B rustproof (for the age and need to live outside) and C easily tuneable

If anybody sees anything good link me up! - Closer to SE London/Kent the better!

(Max I'm not an impersonator, honest!)

What size are those alloys?

I really don't know if they're 17 or 18. Will let you know! I am guessing 17"

Great old barge, love E39s!
I bet it sounds fantastic with that V8 as well. smile
Doesn't sound bad at all. Was half tempted to make it a little louder but decided to leave it alone. My other cars are loud enough!
