Well cheating as this is a pic from when I last owned it (sold in March 2010)
It was a 40k mile minter, I'm assured its still mint cosmetically however the engine is ****ed due to first the waterpump failing, then headgasket failing, then all being repaired and still no compression on 1 cylinder so suspect piston ring or something.
However this is not an issue, as the reason I got rid of the car was lack of power.
Call it sacrilege but I will be fitting a 2005 Citroen C4 engine with a few parts off a saxo vts engine whilst still retaining the very close ratio s1 rallye gearbox.
Should have approx 140bhp, lots of torque but still be nice and revvy.
Going to collect car tomorrow (fingers crossed bodywork and chassis is still mint!)

Pop's new F10.
Guess the model/engine - 0-60 in 7Sec £130 Tax
The autobox in this is excellent - shifts gears like its a DSG, not as fast obviously but crikey!
Only 9months old, 9k on the clock and £17k off list price
Was quite a good deal from the dealer - Soper in Lincoln.
His old car was a 2003 CLK 320, safe to say his chuffed with this new car - a present from my brother.

Its the 525d 218 with the twin turbo 2.0 4 pot diesel engine.
Yup, great all-round engine - sooo much more refined than the 4pot in the E60.
Great taste in colour - but ours is newer
The car has a great presence doesn't it...what engine did he go for? Also the pics do it no justice, soo much better in real life.
You can probably guess bog standard 520d, cream leather, anthracite wood, ambient lighting, professional media. Its been over a year now so see many on the road, but the F10 has to have the sport package IMO, it gives it more presence - otherwise it looks pretty boring, especially with 351M alloys.
Agreed space grey looks much better in real life.

Still looks better than most of the stuff in here.
Our cars are old, but they certainly don't look 18 (or in your case 16/17) years old!
Plenty power with a little bit of modding to keep up with a lot of machinery these days.
You got a ram-air intake where the fogs were?

Is that red one yours, its a lovely example.
The red samco where the fogs used to be is for the mitsubishi evo front mount that my car has.
Imported this a couple months ago.. 2002 Integra Type R with 37,000 miles.. standard clean example.

The dc5 in lovely! Sand and polish the lights though, they are looking dull.
Edit: ignore that, forgot i was connected through my phone so the picture quality isn't great till i press SHIFT+R. They look fine
Are you going back to to a Astra VXR if you manage to sell the VXR8? Mine is looking in a pretty sorry state at the moment due to all the mud on the roads around here lately.
