Aberdeen reg.

I had a 320i on an A-reg, agree with the super smooth but I was running a 16v Manta prior to the 3 series.....the Manta would've been around the next corner and half way home compared with the BM. 2 different engines though. The BM burnt oil badly.

Would I have another?

Oh yes!

Interesting. I wonder how it ended up in London (where I bought it circa 1987).

It was cheap. I think there was someone on S2 forum selling one at the same time for spares/repair for about 1800 ?

Hi Graeme- welcome back!!
Me and the missus were just discussing the aesthetic merits of the e28 versus e34 last night....I love 'em both but will always be the bigger e34 fan, still hanker after another ...but that looks well worth sticking with, well done.
Cheers Colin

I'm going to try to make the March meet, it will be in an Audi, but it's only 9yrs old

[John.]

Can I propose we meet at Dunkeld ? It would be nice to have a change and although a bit further than most of us normally travel, if Colin's making the effort .........!!
I'm sure we'll get a breakfast too !

If you must :/



Exterior panels are good apart from the paint condition. The underside needs some work. Most BMs are rotten, just a question of how badly!
