you read the title right,

after only a few months of owning a nice E46 318i im going to be selling her,

the reason is it was going to be the nice family car for when i get my license back next march

(not banned, got suspended for a year for health reasons)

but the mrs has been having lessons and got herself a little 1999 VW polo <---still german :D

so why am i selling the beemer, well after about 2-3 years of thinking about setting up on my own as a detailer /valeter im going to be getting a van to start up for when i get my license back

see how that goes as mobile then look into getting my own premises.

i was sort of still am a mobile body repairer so use to working out doors but the valeting side of it is something i prefer so decided lifes to short and im going for it.

going to be looking for a vauxhall astra which needs a new engine and my mate who is a vaux tech will be putting a new engine in for me.

already got some one working on the graphics for it

ive also been doing the work looking into insurance issues etc

so evan though i never evan got to drive my bmw apart from private car parks im going to be sad to see it go

thats a shame mate

turn your e46 in to a pickup!

thats a shame mate

turn your e46 in to a pickup!

hmmm now theres a idea

just to say though i wont be leaving this site :D

that even better mate :)

we need a e46 pickup project to follow :)

haha evan though i do bodywork i and id love to do somthin like that, i dont think id have the time :angry:

il set up a project thread for the van though

(you reckon a project thread is a good idea steve? only projects though, not ive put a metal tax disc holder in and leave it at that thread lol )

always recommend projects and I would be happy to create a projects section to the website.

that first bit doesnt make sense to me steve, i am tired though lol

things have taken a major change with my job today , cant say anything really but setting up on my own could be happening 6 months quicker than i planned! might be a good thing though.

il let you guys no what i can when i can as said cant say to much at the moment , except im not a happy bunny

doesnt sound like good news andy!

By the way, while we were on the subject of bmw pick up, i spotted one last night, first time ever.. tried to take a pic but missed.

nope it doesnt sound to good but im working on things while im off work.

gutted about that, what sort of style was it?

quick google image search

after alot more thinking and still getting messed around in work (still cant say to much)

im looking at keeping the e46 :D

was having a little mess with her yesterday and gave me the itch again to get her looking good, only chnaged a broken indicator, tidied my angel eye wiring up a but and had a little polish off the engine head lol

got my new thermostat, anti freeze and oil and filter to all go on, then its mot time.

just got to wait 6 months still to drive her :angry:

little update for yers

just fitted the new thermostat, put some antifreeze in(still needs bleeding more) charged the battery up and she starts first time B)

let her run for ten mins (as its raining) but its early days and all is looking good.

seeing as it was raining i fitted some new aero wipers to :D

still plenty to do but heading in the right direction.

Hope it all goes well :D

cheers, after a few days shes still starting no problems.

just a shame i cant drive it :-(
