jonathanc Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Really need someone to put some sense into me before I do anything stupid Basically I manage to get a very good insurance price and perhaps maybe a good deal on the car and I am VERY tempted since the car is like 25 min drive from my place. I know it shouldn't have any nikasil problems since the 96 models are M62 V8s... However, I have little experience on BMWs...esp the older models. This is the pistonheads advert : http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1595456.htm Do you think its worth it? Not much history but from the pictures I've got from the owner it does look mint.

Yeah I've been a bad bad boy I don't know its the head and heart thingy... the fuel and road tax increase is the thing that's really putting off. However, the insurance for the 5 series + tax is miles cheaper compared to my EVO lol. The secret is finding cars registered before 1st March 2001 I guess What car are you driving now lockie if you don't mind me asking? still the 350z?

Audi tt,got it because with the back seats down it takes a fair amount of band gear,cant get much in a Z or sup.Still think the supra is one of the best looking cars on the road though.Ive been on a few jap sites and there are some nice cars on there but they are pricey,however if i see one in RSPB i dont think i'll be able to resist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
