Just like to say hi from the midlands, I have just bought another BMW, its a year 2000 535i, not to sure which model it is, but its a great drive and still like new, only covered 90,000 miles, I will post some pictures up soon when shes clean.(found one just before I bought it) I have previously owned a couple of other BM's, a grey 2002 on a N plate I think it was, used to smoke like a mother on the over run and a E21 323i Alpina (another nail but good fun) Had a problem with the head (oil in water) as it was the original engine the head was cracked along the cam journals so had to have it welded and line bored but then sadly had no more money to do anything else to the car, I even got a dog leg box for it, Sorry for the waffle, but hi again Julian
