This 35is sDrive...?

[trottski101]

Has anyone tried Birds suspension set up for the 35i.

They claim it can make it a sports car

So you could buy a used / new 35i and spend the saving making it work as you want.

I love the engine and sound, and the quality of build is an age above my old z. Just lacks the fun factor on smaller roads .

That makes for some interesting reading...

For those who appreciate bikes here in Northumberland 8)
The foot peg is also digging in...

How often can you drive on the raggy edge ie 10/10 on public roads these days tho?

In northumberland, every day :wink:

Like the road from Alnwick to Chillingham? :wink:

The photo above is at the end of that road at Chatton. That is at the Cricket CLub corner. I have a photo just next to the wall at the Chillingham Castle. I will upload it.

This is on that very road. Chillingham Castle is on the right over the wall

That road is minus some hawthorne hedge due to my youthful exuberance in my Cooper S in the early 70's !
A little bit faster and it would have been the rather large tree.

(the tree would still be there!)

How are the negotiations re that car?

No, just waiting to speak to the business manager tomorrow now. Accepted the price just need to sort the fundamentals out now. Im getting this on part finance this time, first time so making sure I get the best deal.

So it's looking good?

I reckon, and hope I'm doing the right thing. Miss my E85 M Roadster so much.

If you got a good deal, then yes you are!

Im not sure as to what to do. Its a long way. So will see what they offer in a way of a delivery.

BMW Park Lane did a delivery at no cost - I couldnt justify a train or flight down (for me and my wife) nor would they negotiate on giving me their delivery costs. So they delivered!
It arrived at 08.00 so it left the day for me to play on my home turf.

The fella was a decent sort and my only commitment was to take him to the station for his return trip - Ok we give him his second breakfast of the day.

I wouldnt worry about the car being thrashed either - It he had thrashed it i reckon he would have been banned twice over by Grantham.

 

[trottski101]

...well I will see what I can do. Really don't want to be going all the way down there to then drive back up

 

[trottski101]

Well about turn and walk away.

Yep thats right, I have pulled out of the purchase of the E89 today.

A change of heart and direction in my life has now forced my decision not to buy the car. Never mind, there will be plenty more in the future to chose from. So, thats it folks, I will just have to dream for a while longer.
