BMW 330D M Sport Saloon (F30).
It's a 2.2, with the final to-do being an SC conversion (if I can stop buying watches!!!). I've done the chassis stuff first.
1144 mintex pads
TD 1.2 16/17's + Toyo R1R
Quantum racing 'Black' adjustables
Custom geometry
ITG carbon maxogen air kit
Larini exhaust
Lots of carbon interior bits.
For when the sun's out!
Nice 964, unusual in Black, years ago I owned a black 930 Turbo, wish I'd hanged on to that, but could say that about everything!For when the sun's out!
That is bloody lovely1989 VW Golf GTI 16v
Now that is nice ......love the BBS1989 VW Golf GTI 16v
Is anyone brave enough to admit they have a 1996 Mondeo
My 1st company car was a 1997 Mondeo 2.0lx in maroon....yum
I have a vectra workhorse in the stable, will be replacing it with a f20 BMW if I ever get back home.
Thanks!
They were re-powder coated recently so I've been at them once a week with some cleaner, an old toothbrush and a pressure washer to keep them that way!
You need some of this:

The best thing I've ever used on alloy wheels.
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

You obviously like your bright colours!!
What did they used to say......be seen, be safe !!!!!You obviously like your bright colours!!
I can do bright.....wish I hadn't sold it.
Lovely. Which version?
Superlight.I can do bright.....wish I hadn't sold it.
That is quite a car. Just about the fastest thing this side of an Atom I should imagine.
That is absolutely stunning!I can do bright.....wish I hadn't sold it.
What's the spec on it. Why would you sell something like that
BMW 325i Coupe - 3L Straight Six - still don't think there is a sweeter sound! Even if it has cost me a fortune the last 12 months.
Very nice - what cost so much?BMW 325i Coupe - 3L Straight Six - still don't think there is a sweeter sound! Even if it has cost me a fortune the last 12 months.

I bought mine for the straight 6 performance & supposed reliability
What do I need to look forward to ?

You'll be pleased to hear, nothing integral! The pothole ridden roads in surrey mean I've had a new alloy, wheel bearing and tyre (pricey combo!), windscreen washer jets serviced (filters blocked!) and the front near side plastic wing needed some diagnostics for a bad rattle and got realigned. Probably my own stupid fault for using a main dealer!Very nice - what cost so much?

Just seen this. Are you still using run flat tyres? I think cracked alloys are a common problem with e90 3 series BMWs with the run flat tyres fitted.
The previous owner of my e91 330d had to replace 2 cracked rear alloys and fix the resulting damage to the suspension. I've now replaced all 4 run flats with normal tyres and it's so much nicer to drive - less crashy and no tram lining. I just have a can of puncture repair foam in the boot.
Nice ... The ISF / GSXR combo is fantastic ....
And never seen an SLS in red ... looks awesome .....
For me ....
My cars are quite mundane currently:
We have a Scirocco 2.0 TSFI and a Mini Cooper Convertible...
Bikes are more interesting :)

Pleased with the new wheels but rather lacking on the thrill of driving front...
new addition:
On Friday I took this back;
And drove away a new face lifted model. The changes are only slight, but overall make for a much more enjoyable car.
Very cool - I miss my Alfa.
My C2S sounds like a bit of a vacuum cleaner but that will soon be rectified - this bit of finely wrought Italian craftsmanship arrived yesterday:
I should have it on the car in the next week, when it will sound like this:
^ Nice. 1750?
No, 2.0 diesel 150bhp. It's for work, so quite a few motorway miles.
No, I didn't unfortunately. By all accounts the PSE is pretty good too. I also considered the 'Gundo' side muffler hack plus cross pipes to eliminate centre rear muffler as a much cheaper option. Gundo on its own very similar to sound of PSE I believe. In the end, I managed to land the Tubi at a good price. Normal retail is pretty stiff...
^ Looks like a proper brute. What are the specs?
Picked this up yesterday (seller's pictures). The sun is out this morning, so top down will be all the better to hear the Nascar-like soundtrack.
Love those, such good value at the moment as well .......Picked this up yesterday (seller's pictures). The sun is out this morning, so top down will be all the better to hear the Nascar-like soundtrack.
It sure is. I saved a massive £90k on the original purchase price of £113k.
Wow, that's a serious saving! I hope the servicing costs don't reflect the original price though.
You saying that was £23k ????
What reg and mileage ?

I have a range rover for daily use although I do consider the SL to be my reliable car !
Nice freelander, my knackered old td4 won't die after 155k and not the easiest life...but for the vast part I have a e93 330d cabrio and the wife has a Mini Cooper d

I'm guessing it was worth the effort/wait! Beautiful.After 4 years of searching...
Unusual orange indicators.... Not in uk then???After 4 years of searching...

I've always loved the 993.
Here's mine- a standard C2 in polar silver.
She had red indicators, but in US spec.
I had to change the lamps, before registering in EU.
I know that Carrera S should have red, like the Turbo, but orange looks better IMO :)
Now she is lowered a bit, like EU models.
Beautiful 928 in great condition. Congratulations!
Thank you. What was odd was, having made an appointment to see it on Saturday, I noticed an article in the new issue of Classic Cars which came out on Friday that compared the 928 with several other eighties cars and the 928 they featured was the one we bought - spooky coincidence. Not looking forward to the fuel bills though
