You know Im gonna guess that someones already had that drivers side rear door card off and chocked the glass up with wood.

 

No idea about the shower head though!

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.

^ 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.

Mount the shower head on the bonnet as a hood ornament of win!

 

Tiger seal would fix that windscreen too!

Big one too.

 

Not that big though.

Just noticed the plate. Five is sometime pronounced and Fev in Dundee. Ideal plate to sell on.

In Norn Iron too I think man. Could be highly desirable to a very niche market.

That omgoilserviceinspection light is identical to the one on my 75. Interesting application of BMW parts! I bet there are a fair few e39/46 parts in there!

That hope-it-isn’t-important part of the car is the emergency aerial. A bit like a red Ford or blue FIAT key, the car is worthless without it.

Gaveded u £150 tomorrow M8

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.

The Rover badged ones go for silly money on the owners club.

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.

Stopped at my favorite viaduct on the way home for a couple of snaps too. Scrubs up canny.

Even managed to source an appropriately coded prick cloth.

 

Looks right at home in here.
