Probably the only one left. Such is the owner's fascination with the car, he shouldn't be selling it in the first place.... One other thing: if a young fella buys it subject to the "first refusal" resale agreement, the agreement becomes somewhat invalid if the seller passes away first. And given what I have read about the owner, he's not exactly a spring chicken.... -------------

Oi! I sawed it first!! 
I know, but I thought it'd be rude not to chip in meself! 
I know Rob, I was trying to log onto a Fetishists water sports site that Ivan had recomended and was incorrectly sent there. Oh no that's not it.... erm... I was cleaning it and went off? A big boy did it and ran away? buggerit, I'm hooked! How can I get this car and stay married? ------------- The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. |

Who says the seller would agree to sell to you in the first place? If you read the article in which the car appears, he comes across as quite a picky person. So if he thinks you won't honour the "first refusal" stipulation, basically you're fecked. The only candidates I can see realistically and successfully making a pitch for this are: Ross Harris (but he'll have to sell one of the M6s to make way for this one) Howard (you know it makes sense) David R. Cornell (because he'll be selective about using it) That's basically it. The rest of us can forget it; we're all paupers. Walk away. -------------

Why have you not included me in your list? Not that I'd really want to buy it. Those blacked out wheels make it look like some council estate boy racers attempt at customising with a can of Halfords satin black. So it's got 330bhp? I'd want to see verified dyno print outs before I believed that. You of all people know how that reality hurts. The seller insists on a guaranteed buy-back? Sod that - either he wants to sell it or he doesn't. He's been trying since it appeared in the August edition of BMW Car without much success. It's got nothing you couldn't add to a normal M635 & it's got 136k+ miles on it although it did get a rebuild some years ago. There's a lot of store being put in the Hartge badge, after all it isn't a B7 Turbo! ------------- AndyS Live each day as if it's your last - one day it will be. http://www.photostick.co.uk/view-933_BaurSig1.jpg" rel="nofollow">

Some people like it, some people don't. I spotted it for sale and wanted to share my lust with others, who also expressed the fact that THEY liked it. No it isn't an Alpina, no one said it was and no comparisons were drawn to the B7. No one said you have to like it or want it... So here, these are on me

I think you need to take a couple of Chill Pills if you're getting lusty over that motor! Have you been at the Viagra? As you say, some like it & some don't. Both views are valid & both should have equal standing on the forum. I'm not rubbishing your view of the car, I'm just not keen on the Mad-Max-with-iffy-bodykit look that's all. Especially when it's nearly double the going rate! ------------- AndyS Live each day as if it's your last - one day it will be. http://www.photostick.co.uk/view-933_BaurSig1.jpg" rel="nofollow">

Or mebbe I'se just too chilled awready innit? 
Andy, it floated my boat, if daft gets like me want to go 'wasting' our money on such overpriced CHAV tat so be it. That leaves more of the pure ones for gentlemen such as yourself, everyones happy non? For the record, I'd also like an Alpina or two and (don't tell thepits) an E30 M3 oh and a 507..... But the reality being that the purchase of any one of the above vehicles would likely lead to divorce and the associated financial emasculation that goes with it I'll have to limit myself to lusty outpourings here...

Nice aquisition Ross and a lovely colour too.. BTW did you get free slippers, hat, smoking jacket and a pipe with it? Maybe this is why Derek likes them, who knows... TBH I do agree with sporty1 on the dechromed look. Had chrome bumpers and trim on my '81 E21 and '87 E30, absolute nightmare to look after...out with the autosol every week...pah! I'm too long in the tooth to go there again... ------------- |

The same "paper" figure as the Hartge example: 330bhp You can of course try and find a "normal" B7 Turbo which has "only" 300 paper bhp.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Your time shalt come, Derek...oh yes....bwahahahahahahaha....for the horseman of the Apocalypse shall rise -------------
