RvT 9 Report post Posted August 14, 2008 Hi Glenn Wouldn't say I am ultra keen but definitely interested depending on what value the seller puts on it. When the price has been set a price, let me (us) know. Ron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) Front and rear roundels are getting replaced & the m badge removed once we have the car in the new owners name on the papers. Then we are selling it after a few other bits are tidied up. At this stage we are only concentrating on the WOF issues to get this sorted. Edit: Only the roundels are going to be replaced the "///M" is meant to be there...factory fitted I've also been corrected only 160 RHD 6 speed manuals were ever made not 135...as I was told 135 Edited August 14, 2008 by botanymotorworx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briancol 3 Report post Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) Smartassed comments like it looks like it needs a date with a steam cleaner, or the ///M roundels should be replaced are pitiful. Some people here are too quick to criticise other peoples vehicles. If you are that clever, then fork out the $80 to $100 grand for this car then YOU can do with it as you please. I saw this car yesterday at Glenn's workshop and it is one hell of a car, and I for one would love to own it exactly as it is. But I am getting annoyed at those members here who continually criticise others cars. I like my car "blinged" others don't, but why criticise me just because of what I like.

bravo 34 Report post Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) I think you're over-reacting Brian. They're just trainspotters doing what trainspotters do best. I hardly think it was ctricism of the vehicle. I for one agree with you on those that DO criticise others rides. As you say, each to there own. However I don't think this is the case here. I removed your first comment as I could see it starting a shitfight in what so far has been a pretty good thread. Your comments/opinion are welcome, but please try not to personally attack members. Cheers. P.S. Back on topic please. Edited August 14, 2008 by bravo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1039 Report post Posted August 14, 2008 sensitive types It really does need a steam clean underneath. This way its as mint underneath as it is on top! It would cost nothing to do and add a ton more value to the would be trainspotter buyer. Hardly a critisim now is it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardly a critisim now is it If you read the entire thread carefully you will then know that this car has been in storage for four years, it has just come out and gone straight to Glenns for an inspection and get the necessary work done on it.It is not in some Concours show, it needs work and that has been made quite clear.

Apex 693 Report post Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) An "850CSi" badge appears on the trunk lid, but there are no M badges on the exterior of the car. Smartassed comments like it looks like it needs a date with a steam cleaner, or the ///M roundels should be replaced are pitiful. Some people here are too quick to criticise other peoples vehicles.

Rant Over That M roundel replacement has no place on such a rare and prestigious car. The fact it’s on there could affect a potential buyers perception as to how this car has been looked after, it is after all the type of vehicle that would be purchased by a collector and I guaranty you a car this rare is a lot more appealing 100% original. Sorry if im anal about such things but I hate to see rare cars devalued with such discussing non OEM items. Edited August 14, 2008 by Apex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool however it has had leaky shocks and looks like its made a sh*t of a mess under there. Im not joking when I say my 330i underneath is cleaner than that. Its at 113000ks ... just a constructive observation dude.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glenn I would like to take some proper photos of it in a session before it buggers off to some collectors garage for ever. Any time next week It will be here few a few more days. We did all the WOF repairs including the brake accumulator, now its holding pressure the ASC controller decided it wanted to leak. X Germany $3,600 (RMFD)+ a new one is $7,125 + GST Not many could afford to own this car.. Its costing approx $10,000 to get the warrant because the car hasnt been used for 4 years Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
