Good choice Norman, looks a lot more refined than an S.

Ps, don't know how to set up my new PC monitor at the mo, it stretches everything out, and lowers it. You can just imagine
how sporty that looks.

It probably won't have a yellow connector, Out riggers, nor an issue with what cap goes on what part, lol. You will probably drive that around for 20 years, and not go to a BMW website to say HELP!

Stick around, you've been a great help to everyone. Now where's my exchange n mart.(sp)

By the way, did you sell Gerald? If not good luck.

I'm sure Norman will find something suitable in Aldi hehe

Nice car, cannot believe how much better it looks than the Z3! Although not a TVR it's still roof off fun so not all bad wink

Why would you need one? I thought most BMWs didn't have indicators anyway! - only joking...

Hope your new motor gives you as much pleasure as your old S Norman. I suspect you won't need to spend quite as much time fettling it but chances are it won't sound as good.

Keep in touch..

Not wishing to cause upset....but BMW arent always that much better,

my 2005 e61 5 series estate has worked its way through every common fault found on forums;
suspension compressor £430 - caused by poor hose on intake side breaking down an letting crud in
Rear tailgate hinge wiring £pennies but hours - poor design stretching and nipping the loom
Glo Plugs - just life
Cd stuck in dash player - poor set up letting another one in!
Injectors mucky (supermarket fuel), full clean and adjust - just life and cheap fuel
remote locking sensor fubared by leak in rear tailgate caused by rear washer pipe falling off due to really poor design (err where shall i put £200 of delicate elctronics? I know under the spoiler.)

Norm, check the forums yourself as my BM is working its way through every common fault one by one.

I am guaranteed not to suffer swirl flap failure however - i've had them removed.

One last observation is that runflats are horrid, cause lots of tramlining. guess what, i've got rid of them too
