http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251443932938?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

 

An e39 1997 bmw 535, v8 yo!!!!!

 

Of course that means once collection has occurred my beloved little Ford Tempo needs a new home... Any takers?

[Guest Breadvan72]

Beyond epic!   Anyone who says that the new old Autoshite isn't as good as the old old Autoshite is talking trousers!

[Lankytim]

Mmmm, Tempo! 

 

Just out of curiosity, how much do you want for it?

[EssDeeWon]

OOOFFF! Nice one. I had a 523i SE a few years ago with the same interior as this one, lovely car never got bored of driving it, fab cruiser if you get it on a run. Bet this V8 model goes well and sounds great Dave.

[DaveAspley]

Thanks guys, yep these v8 ones sound the balls when uncorked. Me and the wife had 3 between us of the older e34, 2 of them being manuals. Very tasty!

 

As for the tempo, if I could break even at 600 I'd be ecstatic. I paid 700 for it and must have sunk 300 into it in servicing it and replacing bits. Advert coming soon once bmw collected

[eddyramrod]

Advert awaited.............

[DaveAspley]

Emailed seller of the bee-em, still awaiting a reply. Hope he or she isn't going to get all mardy because it went so low.

[DaveAspley]

I stand corrected, phone conversation has occured and I'm picking it up Sunday. Sounds promising!

First order of business is to remove the silencers.. these "efficient" German v8s can sound quite fruity..

 

Good buy!

 

I'm tempted by the 100bpm, but alas nae shekels and a desire to not get killed preclude me from purchase

[DaveAspley]

Yes indeed, silencers introduced to wheelie bin as first order of business.

I've had loads of these but every single one's been a 520i, which are cronicly slow. I bet these are nice to drive with a bit more oomph.

You can make the lights sparlkly and new by rubbing off all the old laquer using increasinly high grades of sand paper then relaquer them.

If you want a spare set to do this to while you still drive the car I've got a set you can have for postage. It makes a real difference to the power of the lights.
