    Now I’m not really a car guy although I do like to have a nice motor or two, not necessarily a mega expensive one but something that looks quite nice. This week I found this locally. A BMW 525D M-Sport with high miles but it has been cared for. Just got the AC re-gassed and ordered black kidney grills with M-Sport colour tips. It’s a really luxurious motor with a good turn of speed/torque......and the price? £1600!
    How’s that even possible!

    How the frig do you keep snaffling these super-bargains Mr Toy? Too much free time on the rigs spent on the net?

    That is one fine acquisition. I just hope there's no hidden gremlins, because had I have bought it there would be. But then again, who'd want to upgrade from a Citroen C1?:D:D

    Nice car mate,Delete all the problem diesel parts (egr, swirl flaps) check the maf and clean out then get it mapped and you have a weapon of a bargain also keep an eye on the turbos on that model they cost more than what you’ve paid for the whole car lol

    I’m loving it, everything works, last owner was anal over its upkeep and I spoke to his mechanic before purchasing and he confirmed that so I thought it was worth the risk for such little money!

    The wheels and tyres fetch over a grand on eBay as they’re in demand, even replicas are worth £600. Mine are in for a refurb next week when I go back to work. Not sure on bright sparkle silver or black chrome????
    Any opinions?

    Would love to chip in, but I'm not saying another word about anything that relates to 'black'.:(

    Found this pic, the car colour is incorrect, mine more blue grey than silver but you get the idea. Back to a bright Silver as per original or Black chrome????

    I think b-b-b-lack would look super mean. Perhaps one of the Photoshop gurus can do a job on your pic?

    Not sure that Microsoft spray can really cuts it:(

    I think the black would look mean but the Albanians would be replaced by half a ton of coke in the boot in the minds of da feds

    Black Chrome! My Monaro had black chrome wheels and they were beautiful.

    Surely he would have to wear a running suit and Adidas shoes then? Possibly a large gold medallion? Slick the hair back and call it a day?
