Abused 540i

Recommended Posts

Was just out for a drive and drove past this 540i. Thought somethings wrong here. Why was it so dull. Spun around and pulled up to have a closer look. It looks like it has been sitting here for years! Its under a tree and is just coated in tree sap and bird sh*t.

As you can see from the pictures the paint is totally rooted. I couldn't get a pic of the front but it was in even worse condition as it was further under the tree. I couldn't even see in the windows they were so caked in tree sap.

Just dont understand how someone would let a car like this get so bad! The owners lived down a long driveway and this car was parked at the top.

The sap is alot worse than what the pics show.

You could do a VIR on the numberplate think they are $10 or $20 on the website would tell you the owners details and if the plates were still alive and last time it had a wof

Virs only list the owners name, no contact details. Also, they are now $30.

Somebody go into the Post Office with $4.90 and get the owner's details.

I work at a post office so if someone gives me the plates i'll see what i can find out.

Didn't he say it was down a drive tho? You could just walk down and ask them in that case couldn't you?

Poor 540i! Great project, but the bird sh*t on the paint would leave marks badly.

Glass sunroof, carphone, doesn't look too badly optioned either.

Somebody save it!

Cars at the top of a driveway. Amazing it hasn't been broken into.

Driftit did you go back and find the owner of the car? I'd probably have a look and report back on what the car's all about. Where is it?

Beach Road off Mellons Bay road. Towards the bottom. Can't miss it if your BMW radar is turned on.
