probably has something to do with the fuel economy??

ok cool thanks for your help!

yeah yeah i know that, just for comparison etc. cant imagine it would be much heavier than the E30 though, its the SWB model. is 12-13L/100km about normal for a van then?

I think its doing about 3 grand at 1000km/h, but then the 316i does the same and thats getting like 6L/100km

used to use my scruffy E34 525i wagon!

Well, a long time has passed, and ended up getting none of these vehicles, but a got a Ford Econovan instead about 8 months ago. high kms but rebuilt engine top and bottom and scruffy inside, exactly what i needed. Was from a crowd that went bankrupt and flogging them off (story goes that the owner died and all sorts of debt uncovered etc). Anyway, I changed the dizzy, rotor, leads and plugs for a $5 note (well it felt like that) certainly a LOT cheaper to maintain than any BMW new or old! Goes really well, but seems the economy isnt the best and never has been. ive just dealt with it because its a work vehicle, but seeing as i wont need it for several weeks when I close up shop, i might as well take it to bits lol. --- It currently is getting around high 12-13L/100km which does seem high. its used as a delivery vehicle, so almost exactly half the time its 100% empty, the other half its got about 800kg at a guess worth of gear in the back, mostly desktop computers, CRT monitors that sort of gear. and most of the driving is on the motorway, with some nipping around the CBD thrown in for good measure so very little stop start driving. or is this normal milage for a van and hype over nothing? run on 91 gas, 1997 Ford Econovan/Mazda Bongo etc (boxy shape, not the newer rounder shape)

Know someone with an Audi wagon, stupid fast pretty sure its an RS4. will ask them over the holiday break. can also do a Skoda something wagon, only year or two old and a 2010 911 Convertible (not so much the 911 though right?)

modified 520's are where its at yo

Not quite. a WOF sticker is only issued at a point in time, and it is up the owner to ensure its always safe. a cop can pull you over at anytime and issue a green or pink sticker to a car if its not up to WOF standards, even if it has a current one. Its not as if your car, on the date of expiry, suddenly deteriorates 6 months worth of wear for example, say i have 1mm tyres on all four corners so i swap my mates good ones on and pass the WOF, and then swap my tyres back on. the car is then not up to WOF standard, and can get stickered if i get pulled over at any stage or breath check etc.

I know, said because of this

no offence, still on the high side. seems to go for around 6-700 at the moment that is, if you are keen to sell quick. someone will pay the 900 though probably

my cert plate is 4 months old and doesnt have that

And to you guys!

borrowed wheels ok, just have to be same diameter and width as the ones you replace it with, as thats stamped on the cert plate too. silly eh

exactly okay, so buy a Kia. Its better than your BMW right? unless you leave your spare keys on the back seat of your car (cough) then your never going to have this problem anyway. I've only ever cut another key for cars I've purchased the previous owner cant be bothered to find the spare keys for

Drunk on a sunday? work closed up early has it? this post made me laugh tho

been listed for a long time, must be close on a year now. must be something wrong with maybe? or just none interested in a standard-ish one

Happy Birthday mate. Do a loopdeloop

the plate holder should be a genuine BMW part that bolts into the holes provided from the factory. just a case of redrilling your numberplate with two holes in the middle Edit: you dont want to drill into the sheet metal of the car, there is wiring for the central locking/lights etc directly behind there you will probably end up shorting out

Thats not quite correct, unless you are talking about a different german plates provider. i believe the crowd i get them from are the only ones that do them though

postie delivered mine this morning, very happy with it. despite all the other very cool/rare cars in there, think my favourite photo is of the bone stock GRUNT5!

must be a christmas ham from Jeff Gray this year Greg surely??

any E34 Tourings there?

oh well thats why it was slow as then. it wouldn't even skid up the inside tyre flooring it in hard lock, not that i tried. was even on Dark Horse tyres or some crap brand like that. Why does it even have 1st then?
