After an absence of many months, I'm back and now an equal opportunities offender :)

What been happening since I left?
 
Not much mate. Some great members have recently been asked to return though. Good time to come back :)
 
Lol.

Its a E39 535i with Steptronic that I bought for a bargain price owing to its many problems. I have been fixing her up when time and money allows and she has now passed her MOT. As soon as time allows I will be popping to the DVLA office.

I have so far:

Replaced the brake, gearbox and Diff fluid
replaced rear springs
replaced brake pads and disks
replaced the radiator and coolant
replaced the water pump
repaired the aircon relay
repaired the front leather and given it a good clean
replaced the tyres all round (I didn't do this on my own)
caused 6 foot long black 11's when I forgot it was an auto when reversing up the drive :D

Shes a silver colour with privacy glass instead of the rear blinds and has at the moment a broken CAT, so a full on Pro-Speed is being priced. Oh and I'm looking into a LPG conversion possibly. I don't like the way you press the accelerator and the kickdown has you hurtling towards 100mph faster than you can think. Its not an M5, but very quick being a V8.

She is called Janet.

Sounds awesome. Pre or post facelift?

Can't remember when you left but incase it was ages ago I've got one too :p

Mine is currently pre, but a few alterations and you wouldn't know;)

Im also planning a private reg too.

Have you got a 530d?

Just in case you didn't know I was a BMW nut, I almost bought a 635CSI and for a short while owned a fully schnitzered 740i, only had to sell it when I got made redundant (again).

My plan is to sell the 328 and use the 5 for a bit and maybe chop them in for a more sensible and practical BMW, like a 530d estate, although the 7 series keep calling to me:D
