mrbenn Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I think that interior is possibly one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen *wipes tear from eye*.

Jim Bell Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Yeah, but what about the poo count?3. For those marking down the WHERE I POOPED scorecard, there was a firm at Ikea, a loose at Tesco and an emergency gravy at Seaton Burn services. beko1987, Junkman, dome and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Greggs Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 A1+ for colour scheme. My mother had a 528i flavour one of these when I was a lad- can confirm that they do sideways. mrbenn and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairnet Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 wood trim utter shite ( in a bad way) the seats are immense - canah cum roond just to sit on them like? old fart had one of these in que? flavour - which we borrowed for a holiday and did the autobahn thing apart from the box it was ace - for 7 years until the abs thing became a thing then bought a diesel mondeo Jim Bell and Isaac Hunt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksilver Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 So. Very. Brown. Who on earth looked at the colour charts and chose to make their shiny new Beemer look like a giant turd? Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 It's not even done many miles either! This looks fabulous.Yes it has! Its just been to Tony & Guys for a short sides and windback. New clocks at some point. Actual mileage much further north. Seller was upfront about it though. SiC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SierraMikeHotel Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 This vehicle has short-circuited my brain. I like brown cars. I like big saloons with twin headlamps. I like wood 'n' leather interiors. And yet somehow I look at this and I think it's terribly over the top. I don't understand what's gone wrong. (I love it anyway. Well done. Where's the dog going to go?) Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 That looks awful. Because I'm kind, I'd let you swap it for an obscure Japanese import with not enough doors, but only because I'm kind. Who am I kidding? That's the most amazing colour scheme of the 1990s, surely? I didn't think any of these came in an actual colour.
