I suppose that is one way to stop the clampers!! May wear out a lot of components very quickly though! Paul |

stops the crafty whell clampers though doesn't it.. You mean whelks and clam pickers..... that put their lives in jeopardy gathering seafood. The connection with this and BMWs is that the seafood pickers use Brand New 7 series BMWs to drive through seawater to gather the bags of seafood. If the rest of you are keeping up with me here, then cut down on the Gin and Tonic, those that arent keeping up with me, consider yourself well adjusted. Nice logo for your 3 series made me wonder whether this is actually your car pictured or is it an image you found? Either way it looks the partnice image. |

Oh dear! Perhaps some hydraulic suspension to lower it to the ground? Waste of money personally!! Paul |

Before he/she could get to customizing the handle probably hit the buffers on the 300 quid budget. Goes to show how far a wannabe enthusiast can get to...and why we should allocate separate lanes specifically for 300 cars with a "wannabe" schnitzer badge |

Steady on chaps... sit yourselves down with a pot of tea and a packet of ginger nuts because here is an example of what can be achieved with 300 ..... I can think of no better chick magnet than this, its a Low Rider with shaved door handles and full custom job. Whoever customised this car should have been on medication. BTW, the owner of the house in the background has gone into hiding. http://www.topgear.com/content/fun_stuff/carbage/carbages/31 /04/ Have a look at Skoda's version of the Chelsea tractor as well.... |

Stupid question time.Have you checked to see if throttle cable is shredded?,or frayed at either end?If not,give it a good blast inside throttle housing with carb' cleaner.Its also worth checking to see if throttle 'butterfly' has made an unwelcome ridge to sit in,inside the housing+ so stick open slightly.I wouldnt want to advise you to gently rub inside the housing with VERY VERY fine wet+ dry paper,if theres a ridge!Although,if its 'carbon', that is making it stick,its worth doing.Really easy to make things SOOOO much worse though,so maybe 'blipping' the throttle occasionally is an easier alternative.Hope that helps! |

"The law" is saying your life is worth more than 300: dont go around filling the pockets of dodgy traders of your hard earned money and get a junk piece of metal that might be lethal ! I dont think the law has a problem with wannabe enthusiasts ...as long as they know how to stack bits of metal on four wheels that will hold together sensibly! Stringent roadworthy test, perhaps...meanwhile a deadicated lane for 300 quid motors might be a compromise |

Thankyou, thankyou, i'm available for weddings, funerals and barmitzvahs . Fees negotiable. M3AG the bahama turd is all up and running now, my friend has to do some suspension work on it and a few other bits and pieces. It looks like a fairly tidy unrusty car, the hartge front spoiler is a bit sad and the chrome arches are very sad. It has a beige leather (not full) trim with a fixed back seat and some clown has put some plastic wood (badly) over the original bits!. I remember that car for sale for years and years , a victim was finally found.

well done Pete!
What's the info on the beige turbo one, what will happen to that? Has it gone back to the original owner? |

I' ve made a profit in an e23 related deal !!!!!!!. A friend of mine runs a garage in south east london and loves a challenge , a bahama beige 745i (the one with Hartge bits that was in one of the bmw mags a few years ago) was dropped off to him barely running. The car had been at a specialist for nigh on 2 years trying to cure a running(not) problem. I went mob handed with an afm, ecu and a turbo ecu, when my turbo ecu was fitted it roared into life and ran. A new ecu from bmw is 480+ and backorder, i told him i'd sell mine but only if i found another, wo behold 6 injectors turn up in germany on ebay, i pm the seller and ask has he by any chance a turbo ecu and an afm, he replies that he has. A deal was done and now i have all the mechanical bits (and 4 spare injectors) for my blue car . I sold the ecu to my mate for the bahama beige turd and the price i got paid for the ecu, afm , injectors and shipping and left me change for some water based lubricant for when i go 'cruising' in my z3.......

Rob's Bahama-Beige 732i is "worth" more than 400 IMO. A BMW enthusiast would pay more than that, as the car is an absolute honey. 20 y/o car that looks 2 y/o = time warp honey. You are not sick Rob, just a gent of refinemet & astute business skills. (you can give me the tenner later) |

problem is, there are many that can't afford to go and buy a car for a few 1k's so have to resort to buying and maintaining 'cheap' cars. Are they (the laws) then saying that you have to spend a fortune (loan, finance of some sorts) in order to have a car? And if you can't do this, you cannot have one? I know many people that buy and run a 'cheap' car, and maintain it purely by themselves. Perhaps they need to tighten the yearly checks to ensure the cars that are on the road are 100% roadworthy! Despite the licensed MOT stations, it is still quite easy to get a dodgy Mot!

300 cars are invariably dodgy (a rule than an exception, before you start blabbering) -- cooked up MOT, choking emissions, bits and bolts loosely held together, perhaps stolen or even "rescued" from scrapyard by a wannabe "ethusiast" and patched up arbitrarily. Hence the tightening of laws to get rid of this menace and save the environment and protect our lives ! |
