WElcome.... E36 with a SMG gearbox?... did you plant that in?
Totally stock.
But the best thing about it, is that it has extended BMW warranty, renewable every year. Previous owner had the VANOS replaced which would of cost near ?2k.
I've taken it to Dick Lovetts to have some minor fixes, 3 times so far, all under warranty, and they collect and deliver the car as well! The oil service was under ?200. All this in my previous 1991 Lotus Elan Turbo SE, would of amounted to over ?1,500.
Ah, the beauty of peace of mind motoring, can't wait until I blow the engine up, my right foot is quite heavy...
The worst thing is insurance, over ?1,100, and fuel comsumption. At an average of 24.3 mpg, with enthusiastic driving. I've spent almost ?600 on super-unleaded already, ouch!!!
Hopefully, as the novelty wears off, I might be able to save on fuel, then again, maybe not...
