Been thinking about this all day.

• apart from the gearbox.

I do like BMWs in bold colours and the orange available on E9* models is something to obsess about.


and this, whoever spec'd this 1M in green, dechromed, black wheels - hero.

Wash your bloody mouth out....

It's the best looking 156 but that's a bit like dating the best looking girl from that made in Chelsea show. Sure it'll look nice and be great for a while but you wouldn't want to live with it.

Compared to the 147 GTA the 156 is a little lacking in the day to day livability front.

So, sleepless nights result in great car searches! And, here it is.

I recently started working form BMW, whilst I have never been a massive fan (my car history is distinctly Audi) I have been given access to some great vehicles. I have been driving a 2016 M235i and returning home on Saturday, I managed to get this car completely sideways on a roundabout near work.

Not out of control, not a massive slide, just a very slight out of shape for quite a distance on both sides one after the other. I think the whole BMW thing clicked with me. I owned an Exige S back in the late 2000's and it was definitely not a playful near the limit although probably faster.

They make a great car! I also see these going up in value considerably like the Coupes.

Also located just outside Genoa - so the trip home would be tasty too!

Looks like the E46 M3 is the flavour of the week

Is there not a chap on here Craig(?) who has 3 Dakar Yellow 'M' cars? He might be interested!

After travelling 1000 miles in the Vantage this week and 1500km home in a C Class they really are not that comfy.

Thinking of chopping the Vantage in for a Lightweight cheap sports car (Caterham / Lotus) and buying one of these for the long distance jaunts;

I'm definitely still enjoying the MX5 at the moment, so certainly not looking to change. But my next car will definitely be a bit more spacious and more of a GT - we've been doing a lot of trips up to Oxford to see friends recently.

Something like this rather appeals;

Perfect spec! So many ruined by the privacy glass!

It's a really nice colour; wish one would have come along when I was looking for my current 640i; ended up with Carbon Black instead. The petrol 6 is rare enough, let alone waiting for one to come along in an even rarer colour.

I think this one's still for sale!

I was talking to a chap about an MX5 idea he had the other day.

He wants to find a decent Mk1 MX5 for under £1,500 so he can change it to a 1.8 or 2.0 and supercharge it. With other modifications he was looking at close to £3,000 in the end.

So I said...

"Why not buy an SLK 230 Kompressor for £2.000 and keep the change?"

[E24man]

BMW M760Li X-drive

Stupid name.

Astonishing Car.



Awaiting typical BMW 7 Series depreciation......

[MissChief]

I can't imagine they'll sell many and is it even coming in RHD?

I know they are not without their faults, but I think these are good value.

A friend of mine has been driving around in one of these as part of his job recently. He spends a lot of time in cars at the top end of the executive market, and he's been raving about it.

It's here in rhd; I spent some time looking around the car that Sytner Nottingham have in whilst at the annual Alpina meet last Sunday. £135k basic price will put a lot of people off but they have dropped the 'standard' 760Li from the range so if you want a V12 - this is it. Sadly the salesman said the brief with the car said it was to be the last BMW V12 engine.......

610bhp and 800Nm and a 3.7 0-60 make it the fastest accelerating BMW ever made..... and it is easily the most luxurious..... and it has shaken off the Bangle looks of the E65/66.

[p1stonhead]

One of my directors just got a 730d. Lovely place to be inside. Absolutely lovely.

[E24man]

I'd probably be happy with any petrol powered long wheelbase car - but the V12 would be up there as the most desirable one.
