Been retired myself now 2 months.
Great - more time for my many interests
Enjoy

Phil

OOOO - Spokey.
Hi there stranger - you well?

Phil

Wonder if these would look good on my Sapphire Black S54.
I assume they would be a straightforward fit ie a straight swop.

Phil

You only have to get caught out once. Go for the best that's within your price range.

Phil

Well done Pete and thank you.

Phil

Brian(fg2810) has asked me to confirm his service schedule and I attach his pm to me Hi phil , checked my service book , and i have all the relevant stamps up to April 2012 , would you be able to put this on my post . It would be nice to leave the post locked on a good note , no doubts about servici...

Phil

I have locked this thread.
If anyone is interested contact the seller direct.

Some of you might be interested in this KIMBOLTON SPORTING BEARS CLASSIC CAR SHOW - JULY 14TH 2013 Central Region is once again planning to exhibit upto 40 cars at this highly rated festival: It's well worth it, set in lovely countryside inside Kimbolton School grounds.

Phil

Looks good - understated, subtle and desirable.

Phil

BMW dealerships probably can still get them. I got one a year or so back.

Wow - We notice the difference instantly when the deflector is down.

9 years and 5 months for ours. I part exed a 2.8 with 57912 on the clock and got £10,100 for it. The M cost £25799 and had 8600 on the clock. We both love the car particularly my wife. I wanted to buy a rather nice Alpina Roadster in sapphire black with a red interior but her indoors said that our M...

Phil

What a fine looking little man you've got there.
Many congratulations to both of you
Phil and Marise

Phil

Thanks for that - didn't realise Chips Away did wheels.

Phil

Where did you have the wheel refurb done?

Phil

Almost did a double take when I saw your car. Its a mirror image of mine except for the hood.

Lovely, lovely car - but then I would say that

Phil

The part number suggests it is a anti slip cover 8 413 620? never seen this before? Part 6 http://static.bmwfans.info/images/epc/ODY4MjVfcA==.png Floor covering - BMW parts catalog Phil, is number 35 the part you were referring too? http://static.bmwfans.info/images/epc/MTQyNjkxX3A=.png Hardtop par...

Phil

It fits in the holes where the hard top fitting kit is sited.
If you have a hard top it is located at the back by 2 fairly hefty lugs which fit into 2 holes. When removed the part you show masks the holes.

Phil

It does look a nice car, sorry to hear about your unfortunate situation! I would leav the price at 75 unless your in a hurry. Cat listing sensitivity is a bit like mileage sensitivity. I personally think your car has high miles and the cat d too. But that's just my personal opinion. As i said, leav...

Phil

Your suggested price of £200 might be putting people off.
You could ask for offers

You are a bad boy

Hope its not these tyres

Phil

Hi Woody,
What are those tyres you have on the car?

Phil

Stand corrected. Looks like most didn't have the hardtop.

Phil

I am not worthy to be made a sticky - or maybe I'd like to be a sticky afterall. :lol: :lol: Interesting point for those with S54s - they came with a hard top as standard. I did think that was the case and it might have been for S50s. Not sure. But anyone buying an S54 should, in theory, have a hard...

If you want to find out all the info about your specific car as it came off the production line try this. You need the last 7 digits from the vin number and hey presto http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html (English) http://www.bmwarchiv.de/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html (Deutsch) Just used it...

Phil

Happy birthday young man.
Sh*t - my sons nearly 40

Phil

Ah but its BMW paint and roof

Phil

Mines totally original - and hopefully will stay like that.

Phil

There is a very helpful website that may give you some guidance

Go out on a cruise in a convoy of Zeds and then you'll really feel exhilerated. Even if its not a quick drive its great to look in your mirror and see a line of Zeds and see Zeds in front as well.
You know you want to so just go out and do it.

Phil

My car has M12 PLR - PLR my initials
My wifes Alpina has MAR 15E - her name is Marise. Looks superb, no spaces, spots or corruptions.

Fortunately she bought it for herself - phew!

Phil

PCSAM - do you know what the transmission factor is with those headlights?

Phil

I got my AA renewal today for April 1st. It is £172.80, joint cover. It includes free homestart and relay for Mrs Ragtop and myself. With the relay it gives us peace of mind that they will transport our cars and passengers anywhere in the UK. Interesting the BMW cover is Europe wide with a courtesy...

BMW Breakdown via Mondial is £148. Excellent cover and service. Usually a BMW technician in a 5 series touring turns up with lots of BMW parts etc. I know, the Z wouldnt start today and there they were in a pretty short time and sorted it. Guy even remembered the car when he fitted a new battery abo...

Phil

They dont look like shadow chrome as there is no colour variation over the rim. Its almost, if not impossible to match shadow chrome.

Phil

Mines 10 years old and I've used it twice - both times at Gaydon Show.

Phil

Our other car is an Alpina D3 Biturbo.
Bought it for the wife but I take it to work. She has use of the M though. Fair exchange methinks.

Phil

Done the Isle of Man a few years ago and out of town no speed limits. Best to get out on the TT circuit early in the morning before there is traffic and enjoy. The mountain section is awesome and you can really open up your car and enjoy even if you see a police car.

Phil

I notice you are the Midlands. I use a BMW approved bodyshop in Warwick - P L Carbodies. Had my car resprayed about 4 years ago for about £2500 - took the car apart and took about 10 days. Recently used them for a bodywork repair to our Alpina and both were super jobs but at a price. As previously s...

No

Phil

Winter tyres have lower speed ratings. So T rated tyres are commonplace. I'm using Michelin Alpins on our Alpina. Cant believe the difference they are making in the cold weather.

Phil

Zymol 2 stage is pretty good.

Phil

If you get chance the Car Museum in Mulhouse is stunning. And I do mean stunning.

http://www.citedelautomobile.com/en/discover

The railway museum nearby is also very very good - if you like steam engines - which I do.

Phil

Plans for the New Year might be to use it more. Only did about 1500 miles in it last year since the Alpina has taken centre stage since we got it.

Phil

Happy new year to all the zed community.

Yuletide felicitations to everyone on here.

Later M5s have V8 engines. You have to go back to the E34 for 6 cylinder engines
