Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself don`t know if this is the right place to do so or not appologies if it isn`t.My names Chris just got back into BMW ownership again after a long absence with a little e36 316i touring, quite a late one being a `99 T plate.Being a little 316i its no ball of fire but the quality is still there like i remember from the earlier cars i`ve owned previously.Previous BMW`s owned are an e21 an e23,two e28`s(my personal favourite) an e30 touring an e32 and an e34(got stung with that one) but some day i`d like a 635 and a 2002, but i`ve always said i`m not going to `till i can afford a really good example of each.Anyway enough rambling, cheers for now

Welcome to the Forum mate, see you about.

You've just missed out on Gaydon, if you leave C'Nauld now,

lol.yes the `tina is indeed a 2.3 V6 Ghia 56k from new to be honest always reminds me of the e28s i used to have very similar drive indeed.My Capri is a mere 1600 at the mo but it`s undergoing a bit of a transformation at the moment with mk2 chrome bumpers grille and badging and a heart transplant with a 2.8 V6 with a webber carb instead of the unreliable and power strangling  injection although this may possibly change to the 2.9 cosworth, depends on funds

wow small world, in a moment of devine stupidity i traded it in against a new Alfa 156, basicaly because we decided to move to Creiff and needed something more modern for the commute everyday and i still wanted something nice and couldn`t afford a new beemer so the Alfa seemed to fit the bill
