No disgrace in feeling the need for a sweetie shop Jonathon, I felt the same way the day I got my new beastie and I'm a little older than you at 60. I guess the pictures will be posted shortly. Enjoy ;-)

Wow, let's have some pictures when you can ;-)

Well Stephen that looks absolutely fabulous, what a wonderful motor and you have every right to be very proud of such a fine example.

Reminds me of when I lived in Germany in mid 80's looked to buy a plain and simple 3 series 318is (in that very colour) but decided on a Ford Sierra 4x4. Stupidity of youth you might say but saw sense in the end.

Have fun and enjoy every minute resplendent in the Miami Vice Shades ;-)

Hi Gazz, welcome. Have a look at this it may shed some light.

Would absolutely love to attend this event, only trouble is it clashes with the pending Spurs thrashing, and I can't miss that now can I!!

Good luck and let's hope it don't get to expensive and take the 'shine off' the car altogether ;-)

Welcome to the club Arnaud, you should find the help you need here somewhere or from someone.

Personally I'd go for a 330d M Sport or even a 335d M Sport (this one has twin turbos) both give you power and refinement specially on those long daily drives.

BTW when you find your chosen steed post some pictures please ;-)

Welcome to the club Kirk. Your obvious talents will be much appreciated by all at some time I expect. Do you have pictures of your Beamer you can show us?

Hi and welcome to the club Rob. First things first, please post some pictures as we all like to have a look at newbies motor.

Screen washers, sorry nothing in the 'How to Guides' but my guess is similar to your neighbour, crud in the bottle. Perhaps you could write a 'How to Guide' if you attempt the removal and subsequent clean and refit.

BTW don't forget those piccies ;-)

Are you not going back to the purchasing garage and asking why?

3.2 straight 6 to a 5.0 V10 is a worthy replacement. 'Helga II' I trust! Damn fine machine, enjoy and pictures are a must ;-)

Well there is a bright side if you don't get it sorted........nobody to disturb you when are out and entertaining yourself with that exhaust note ;-)
