Tremendous. Don't change a thing. The beauty of a car like this is that's its just as it left the factory.

Alloys are perfect as they are - love it!

[rich0411]

Loving the car and the photos!

They don't make 'em like that any more.

(I'd be checking the scrappies for a full leather interior)

[DarkBlakk]

That is absobloodylutely fantastic! And that was before I looked at the price.

One of my earliest car memories was going for a drive in brand new one that our neighbour had just bought.

[spaceship]

Oooh, that is awesome.

Really, really like that.

[shalmaneser]

That is lovely.

Dare I say it, but 30mm off the ride height would really suit it. Can you retrofit the M5 suspension?

Mmmmmmm.

EDIT: st, i thought it was an e28!!!!

Oh, the embarrassment!

Those are nice wheels that are on the car, but I don't think they are the original wheels.

It would have rolled on TRX1s (I think).

[A14RGS]

A top buy, good choice!

BTDT....

[anonymous-user]

that is one sweet car and looks very clean.

I can't believe someone would shell out 6.5k and then sell it a few years latter, but all the better for you..

Have you tried the rear recliners yet???

[Six Fiend]

Utterly gorgeous, really like it

[Petrolize]

Very smart,

[delboy735]

Fabulous.................................obviously with a sign-on name like mine.

The car passed it's MOT. Taking it to Le Mans next Wednesday!

Unfortunately, it's been keyed twice in the last couple of weeks.. gutted.
Anyone recommend a paintshop/chip repair place in the Manchester area?

[wackojacko]

How did I miss this !

I literally dribble over any BMW pre 2000.

That is just gorgeous !


Shame about the keying, Addled minds :@

[vit4]

That is class! Gutted to hear about the keying, some people really do deserve hanging

[Graebob]

Sublime

Trying not to let it get to me. I'm going to get the scratches sorted then spend a day clay/polish/waxing it.. ready for it to get covered in dust at Le Mans!

I popped into my local BMW garage's parts department, they kindly printed me out the full options list from when it was first bought. It really is fully loaded.
I also found on eBay, the original model price list booklet, The cars Air Conditioning was a £1601 option.. and that was in 1983! Also the Colours and Upholstery leaflet- so I know exactly what shade of pond green the velour interior is!

I'll scan and upload them if anyones interested.
