god knows how long for but at the mo i love it-only problem is it has developed a water leak from the rad header tank on the way home.looks like it has some sort of sensor at the bottom of it which is leaking.

anyway all being well its a v reg bmw 535i sport auto/tip in silver with full black leather.18"m parallel alloys.drives stunning!

the guy i bought it off is going to hopefully sort out the water issue tomorrow.

a hell of a lot of car for the price of a good sapphire!

although mine has got a few issues that the dealer is paying for.

air mass sensor
cracked header tank
wiper linkage

not had it 24 hrs yet!!!

give him his due though he has offered to take it back or pay for the repairs.

will get some pics when its all back together as its in pieces at the mo

who said bmw's are great............

but really i love the car,just some teething problems

no-one has any faith in me!im going to try to keep it-honest

i was thinking what car could i contemplate having as a good all rounder for sort of 7-8000 quid.3 series a bit small,merc e class bit boring,cant afford m5,range rover,great but just sold one.

not much really,so went to look at this bmw,stunning car,leather,18" alloys,aero kit,fsh,v8 engine,shnitzer mirrors,thought -"fuck it,i could live with that" so here it is-faults and all

as soon as euro car parts deliver the bits i need ill get a pic if its not too dark.
