Well, after having it as a bridal car and "borrowing" her for the weekend my neighbour was so impressed with the 732 she's off next door to make room for the 735 from Brum. Not a million miles away and I'll see her regularly.

Went to have a look at 735 today, needs more work than I had hoped for, due to being stood. Both rear doors starting to go at bottom, couple of tyres (Dreaded metric alloys) cracked on sides, slight blow on rear exhaust box, windows sticking. hole in front bumper.

Nothing of consequence, seller happy for me to crawl all over it, even lent me long handled mirror for underneath. Lots of toys to play with so I'm well happy, hoping to see it here in week when transport arranged so I can get stuck in.  Looks like 528 going back into daily use - what was that about "gently driving" and 17mpg Philip? Sounds like my "gentle driving"........

well done, glad that Phil passed over the details of that e23! I mt the guy at Gaydon, and the car appeared good when he showed me the pics. Lots to play with and I am sure it will make a great car when all is sorted.
Nice one Ian. glad its going to a good home.

Anybody need a set of Buffalo leather for an E23? A
mate of mine is breaking a LHD 745i Turbo for the
engine to go in a CS Coupe and the complete
interior is for sale - won't be dear.

2.8 being non-motronic and lower geared than 3.2/3.5 is terrible on juice, a lovely motor though, as smooth as you like, with reasonable power.

drove 200 miles today to brighton & back in my 528i = 24.2 mpg overall.

country trips at low speed = 17 mpg  as you never get into lock up top.

congrats on the 735i

Hmmm, very interesting Mark! Give us a pm as to what sort of money you want for them - do they have tyres and if so any tread? Wendy says I can have her spare set of 15" bbs to finance 735 bits but they're off E30, won't fit either of mine.

Door locks ok, windows need tlc, good clean and lubrication should help. Oh, leccy aerial ok but not working, but I have a good bottom needing mast in garage.

Cheers for comments everyone, he mentioned talking to AG while down there, seemed nice straight bloke!

Now I know that Mr E's comments normally upset all and sundry (free speach and all that) but this interior from a 745 has to be taken up. Be an excellent upgrade in any e23. I don't need it in mine, but it has to be saved.

Andy is it in grey or nutri?

          I'm the 745 interior man. I've got a non electric buffalo trim in dark grey out of a 50000 mile car and an electric nutria one , this trim is full leather i.e glovebox consoles doors etc. Both trims have fixed rear seats so aren't sad to fit. Come on men get rid of that council cloth and upgrade your chariots !.

Profit is more reasonable than justice.
