last night.... [QUOTE]

But to be fair..........

Lovely engine (£200 all day long)

Nice autobox

Silent diff (LSD?)

Nice Buffalos

Couple of good Metric covers


Would drive okay once calipers are freed off.

I drove the heap of sh*t back last night....








I'd forgotten how awful they were............

ANYONE GOT OR KNOW OF ANY FRONT SPOILERS BBS ETC, OR AN M-TEC TYPE BOOTLID SPOILER FOR AN E23 GOING CHEAP, THANXS

 I want to sell the 735 complete rather than the aggro of fragging it .  I want about £300 . If i found a victim for a few big bits ,i.e  struts, interior, front bumper, ecu etc i may frag it but rather not . It is a taxed and mot'd driver.

HI, SOUNDS GOOD, HOW MUCH ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE CAR, OR IF YOUR BREAKING HOW MUCH FOR THE TRIM, WHAT COLOUR IS THE TRIM, THANX.

You don't half pick 'em Hiab. It was unbelievably good of you to fit new tail lamp FOC. After he phoned you effing & blinding most of us would have put the phone down, and left him on his own. I hope you gave as good as you got.

As you rightly pointed out 20 year old £450 cars do not come with full parts & labour warranty.

Why do life's unfortunates end up in your front garden?

Wow! you finally shifted the Monument! How sad is the loser exactly?

The Bronzit Beige car has exactly the same spec as my old '84.

Is it a rusty heap or not too bad? I need MORE pain in my sad little existenz

 

Hiab,

board member selephant is after a cheapie 735i e23 I believe.

Please tell us the colour of your 735i FS. I think its Sapphire blue which is the silver-blue metallic shade.

Are the panels fairly straight & not too rusty?

Does it drive OK etc etc

I had probs with trip comp time/date on mine till Philip told me date has to go in US style, month, day, year or it won't take it.

Should be push in end on left hand column stalk, that will cycle display, when you get it to time/date press pin into small hole on bottom right hand side, past dotted lines to zeros then enter using bottom row buttons. Think once you get it right you press pin in hole again to set it. Hope it helps, took me days to get mine right, then battery went flat and I had to do it all again, lol!
