They've had it for ages, and no wonder. You'd have to be off your head to pay £17k for that.

Also, if it's a February 1991, then it's one of the original 3.6 litre cars, which means it's got the wrong wheel centres. It's also got an aftermarket exhaust.

If I was paying that money, I would expect it to be mint, and absolutly correct in every detail.

Anybody who buys or has their car serviced by Hexagon needs their head looked at. I also doubt that Hexagon have any mechanics who have ever worked on E34's and would understand the skill and the variety of tools required to do a valve clearance. Measuring the shims requires a tool costing £300 and these are not readily available.

Finally a number of E34 parts are NLA (NO LONGER AVAILABLE) from BMW AG so how are they going to replace certain parts....by going to FAB or any one of the other scrappy's???
