I hope we have a good turn out for this event. It could be one of the better events if we get the numbers, especially as Capital Cars are making the effort to accommodate us, and the prize(s) are also very good. ------------- Ado '97 523i & 95 M3 97 Subaru Impreza WRX Sport Wagon (sold) |

I have 25 cars now nd space is limited so - Ado, Robbie , Brendan, TJ etc etc etc can you let me know if you are entering?? Come on everybody!! ------------- |

Got to get my damn car ready... hope I can get some time to give it
some TLC. Damn wheels are is pretty bad nick tho. Gonna see what I can
get done. You will be seeing these 2 cars though... might just get the company to pay for all the prep since both cars have a company badge on the back. No I don't work for BMW, we just had our domain name made up in a badge.  ------------- http://www.kinmak.com - KinMak.com - http://www.elara.ie - Elara Online |

Hi Diarmuid Thanks to the excellent service of my main dealer it has all been sorted under warrantee. They took the car in about two and a half weeks ago and stripped the engine.Found that the rings on the last 2 cyclenders were worn and caked with oil but luckley no damage to the cyclender or head. Picked it up today and it is going like a dream. So I have to keep an eye on it for the next 1000 miles but hopefully that is it. Just on another note a lot of people slag off BMW main dealers in Ireland as rip off merchants but I have to say I could not have been treated any better by M and G HAPPY DAYS  ------------- Jim E39 520I (sold) E39 530D |

I tend to agree there Jimboh. Dealers typically aren't cheap but my experience is that they generally provide reasonable value for money. That's a subtle but important distinction. ------------- Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

Cheers Lads Seems to be going a dream funny thing is power also seems to be up.I suppose having 2 extra pots might have somthing to do with it. Had a bdand new E60 520 Sport while my baby was away and I have to say that up to this I have not liked anything about the car but the body styling of the sport along with the 18in M wheels realy make it a much better looking car. ------------- Jim E39 520I (sold) E39 530D |
