Default PassionBMW, Something a Little Different

The sun has made a brief re-appearance, so thought I'd take a few photos of my BMW. I know there are lot of BMW owners/fans on here, but this is something a little different from today's norm.

Nice car, is it the later 4.4-litre version?

Yes, it's the 4.4. You can just about see the 4.4i badges on the front wing

They're great cars, go extremely well for nigh-on 2 tonnes.

Plenty of tired examples out there that people have tried to run on a shoestring budget, but get a good one and they're still awesome machines.

Only since early this year.

I've had other E31's in the past, but this is by far and away the best. Drives A1 and the body is virtually without blemish. Auto 'box is the best I've experienced at this age by far, kick down works perfectly and the car pulls like a train and handles great for a big GT cruiser.

Very nice mate, always turns my head when I see one of these, certainly more than any modern BMWs do.

Yeah they were definitely well ahead of their time and don't look out of place anywhere. They were probably a little too forward thinking at the time and took a long time for me to grow to truly love them like I always did with the E24 6-Series.

Estoril Blue is probably the best colour for them. There's a mint Estoril Blue 850i on a driveway I drive past every now and then and it's been there for years and years. Great looking car.
