350i MOT passed

[KKson]

Another year of motoring sorted for the 350i. It failed first time this morning due to both rear tyres just below the limit - Toyos less than 3 years and they've only done 10,000 miles. Two budgets fitted just for speed as my daily diesel driver is buggered and about to be scrapped so the 350i is now my new daily driver! I'll get a couple of decent tyres fitted when I've bought a new "family" car. Anyway a few advisories - rear brake flexibles looking a little tired, steering bulkhead bush slight play (I've got a pukka roller bearing kit in stock ready to fit), worn bush on one of the A frame and slight play on one of the front suspension ball joints.

Plus points - no rust on the chassis and totally solid underneath.

Great and great daily driver!
Some people have all the luck

Yep, as does a hot bath, very large glass of red and What car magazine. So what to buy as the family hack? Do you think the wife would notice a RS6 Avant??

Just get one in a boring colour, de badge it and tell her it's a diesel lol

As it's been my full time car for the last three weeks I have filled the tank rather a lot recently and just love driving it, more so than the 390SE I'll be honest.

Mine failed yesterday

Pods come up, but no dipped beam. Flashes ok. Fog lights not working and got a PAS hose touching the upper wishbone.

Not too bad for a car that is 30 years old on Monday!

Congratulations on your pass!
