Jim Bell Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Ok so following on from Prickgate and in honour of the deleted posts, I thought in the ballance of disclosure and fairness that I should pick the car apart a bit. Here we go. Wankers pressed metal plates. Barely hanging in there. Thankfully theres less offensive ones in the boot. cobblers, Coprolalia, dome and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Boot treasure. You know Im gonna guess that someones already had that drivers side rear door card off and chocked the glass up with wood.

oldcars Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I know you can get a shower attachment for a CRV maybe BMW did this as well. Rover did the bath attachment, my boot is always one. Jim Bell, Rave, Dick Longbridge and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 ^ Ah, the good old BMW MPGometer. I enjoy driving my daily E90 and seeing just how thirsty it is going up hills (which is everywhere, because Cornwall). Despite the slightly snotty bits, it’s looks a proper job. Utter bargain. As I said earlier, the Zafira needs to hang it’s Lutonicles in shame. *Edit: I see it’s the rare showerhead edition. Find another.

Split_Pin Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 That omgoilserviceinspection light is identical to the one on my 75. Interesting application of BMW parts!

Cavcraft Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 That hope-it-isn’t-important part of the car is the emergency aerial.

Vince70 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 That colour is fantastic and the best colour I’ve seen on a BMW plus the added bonus is it’s on a pre bangle.That looks like a steal for the money I always thought that old 5 series BMWs were well into the thousands for a decent example and that’s for a boring Silver example.

xtriple Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I was just going to post that about the aerial, bent wire aerials are for winners, get it fitted immediatley! That is a cracker, love the colour adore the interior! So nice to see something decent that isn't bloody silver or white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny69 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I have never seen inside one of these before. That is frankly, browntastic. I knew I should have got one when I was asking about old bimmers. Mad that Peugeot were still fitting radios that looked identical to that to the 207 right up to about 2012. basic orange LED display and all.

Jim Bell Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Been out and about in this afternoon. Feeling a lot better about it. Suffered a bit of buyers remorse this morning but it passed. Took the Brown Trout out for a clean up. Spotted a Dodge up behind the car wash. Judging from ebay listings, theres a lad trading yanks out of these units. The paint comes up quite well. Nice reflections in the bonnet. Unfortunately giving it a clean revealed that its been keyed a few times too. Shame but never mind. Wheels came up pretty well too. Even with the aftermarket? Black badges. Council estate chic. privatewire, blakey79, oldcars and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I loved that as soon as I saw it in the ebay tat thread, plus I've always wanted to try out an E39 (?) 5 series but have been too chicken. Colour is spectacular, so unusual don't think I've ever seen another. You have some guaranteed roffle ticket purchases here. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
