Crap colour, poor engine choice, wrong range of options, horrible chrome, crap SE bumpers and naff wheels.

I agree, what a rubbish car!

Look at the size of that LCD

I have one question, and I'm not trying to pick things out for the sake of it...but does anyone else think BMW need to ditch the orange dash lighting? It's starting to look pretty old fashioned, reminds me of a 1980s Atari Arcade

.

Orange is meant to be a good colour for low light visibility so maybe there's method behind it, even if that's not it.

Petrol is £1.30 around these parts now, so to celebrate I just bought myself a new toy

It's got a 3.5 litre V8 on twin carbs, and because it was built in 1971 its tax exempt

There is a long and expensive road ahead of me before it gets to the point of being road legal for the first time in years, but it's going to be awesome when that day finally comes

I hasn't been off the flatbed 30minutes and already the list of jobs has extended to several sheets of A4

The amount of visible rust on that is a bit daunting. I'm guessing you're going to have to completely strip the whole thing down and sandblast/repair/respray the bodywork before anything else?

Does the BMW seat front bit thingy move around? Looks like it's been extended/stretched out, if that makes sense?!

The thigh support?

Participant · 31 Jan 2011 at 20:48

It slides in and out manually on most I've seen. Not sure about the F10.

The sport seats have it - it slides in and out.

Boo hiss, no M wheel. The new one is lush.
Comfort seats totally pwn, unlucky.

Not a fan of the old man colour scheme, but the colour choices on the F10 are truly abysmal. Enjoy the 550i and the trapezoidal exhausts.

Shoulda got an Alpina B5 though ¬_¬

ash_scotland88 · 31 Jan 2011 at 21:21

cheers guys, just looks it in those pics.

allllec · 31 Jan 2011 at 22:03

New motor for me.

Purchased from Nomisf on here actually. Rover 75 Connisuire SE CDT.

Lovely car, only real gripe is a little dent on the wing. Other than that the car is immaculate.

The rear tailgate is (in)famous for its ability to rust so that doesn't bother me because I was expecting it. The seller threw in an outer lower skin with the car too, which was nice.

The sills, chassis in general, outer wings and the inner wing on the passenger side seem ok

But it looks like I need 2 doors, upper tailgate, one maybe two rear 3/4 panels (One seems to be made mostly of filler :eek:

) plus a few age-appropriate trim pieces. Oh and big tyres and a 2" lift kit

Best bit so far? It was blue originally so I can get rid of that awful green "in pursuit of originality" :cool:

That steering wheel :eek:
