GBM6

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 ;-)

Welcome to the club Nath, post some pictures when you have taken delivery of your new motor ;-)

Hi and welcome Kit, I know a man who may challenge your 'old guy' claim but we will still like to have some pictures please ;-)

Welcome Alan, that colour looks very nice indeed. I'm sure you will enjoy every minute ;-) ps Good to see the pictures

Hi and welcome to the club. You certainly have a nice looking beastie there. You'll find an owners manual and a Bluetooth manual here for free ;-) http://www.bmwsections.com

OK Claire, time to put your tongue away, drooling is unladylike like...................;-)

Welcome to the club Callum, newbies are asked to post some pictures so we all get a glimpse of your pride and joy. ;-)

Hi and welcome Tom, please post some pictures when you can ;-)

Very nice indeed, have fun and keep those fly's off ;-)

Hi and welcome Alex, better you found us now than to never have found us at all. Please post some pictures of your beloved Beamer ;-)

Come on Tom, share the love. You've had it ages now and I've (we've) not had the pleasure ;-)

Whoop whoop ;-)

Come on Claire, everyone knows 'South Wales' is the other California ;-)

All us boys need a good service now and again ;-)

Hi and welcome to the club Andy. Splendid looking motor you have there. ;-)

Tax won't be as expensive as you think, but costly nonetheless. 'Cos of its age and engine size it'll be £225 for the year. It's £500 a year for my M3 but hey worth every penny just to sit in front of an automotive symphony delivered by the superb V8. ;-)
