E39 Brown Trout (tm) ROFFLE BACK OFF.

Recommended Posts

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.

^ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
