Yeah, but what about the poo count?

You won't notice them on those seats!

[cort16]

Have you found the cupholders yet?

[Jim Bell]

The light was awful today, so check out a couple of ebay snaps from a sunnier day.

S773 Fine wood trim

 

Lookin' pretty fine to me.

[mrbenn]

I think that interior is possibly one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen *wipes tear from eye*.

 

You've outdone yourself this time WW, bravo!

[Jim Bell]

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.

[Fabergé Greggs]

A1+ for colour scheme. My mother had a 528i flavour one of these when I was a lad- can confirm that they do sideways.

[hairnet]

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

Poo 3 was probably the reaction of Ikea mustard with Tesco neopolititan

 

Nice car btw, mister

[quicksilver]

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]

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.

[Jim Bell]

Boot jazz.

 

 

Items.

 

 

 

Nowhere near as large as Sloppybottfarts cavernous crevice though. The v8 wins on all fronts.

[RoadworkUK]

That's the very height of glorious.

 

Mundo swipe.

[mrbenn]

I suspect there's going to be an ungentlemanly stampede if this ever comes to roffle.

[New POD]

When you come to sell don't bother with a roffle. send me a messsssage

[SierraMikeHotel]

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?)

[angle]

That is utterly, completely glorious. I am immensely jealous.

[Tayne]

Number 5 please, does it still have the glovebox torch?

[Jim Bell]

Number 5 please, does it still have the glovebox torch?

It does not. I should have kept the one out of the E46 thats now with Johnk

[barrett]

That looks surprisingly not terrible for a modern German car, well done

[dollywobbler]

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. Amazing.

[Jams]

That is gorgeous!!! Love an individual

[Eddie Honda]

Feast your eyeballs on my interior balls.

 

Phwooarr! they are well smooth and tanned...

[strangeangel]

Wow. You two were made for each other.

[SiC]

I object to this threads title. This is not low grade in any way or form at all.

That certainly would be much more practical man. I dunno though.

[clayts450]

I demand to see the so-called warning triangle.

 

This is epic mate - great purchase. So very brown.
