Well as many of you know my car got written off about 6 weeks ago, and I;ve been struggling to find a car I wanted in my price range as I wanted to stay out of finance.
Anyway it had to be German and had to be white, looked at a few TDi R32 replica's etc but I just compared them to my GTi so decided to walk away from 2-3.
Anyway browings eBay the other day and seen this ending soon and thought I would chuck a bid in and try my look. Anyway I am now the proud owner of this -

Wont be to the taste of many, but yeah, I like it, got it for a good price, it's a 525i, insurance is more then the golf but I am only 22! Doesn't come with them wheels thankfully but it does come with these -

It's on fully adjustable coils so will probably higher it a little!
Thanks!
-
Get that fuel filler flap sorted dude.
-
That needs sorting and maybe look at the rear bumper a little more and swap it for an M5 one, other then that just the whiles and a tad higher :D
-
damn that nice must have set u back a bit plus gonna drink on fuel

Yeh it's the fuel that would concern me, but it's a damn nice car!
-
Nice car fella. :congrats:
My Father recently had a E90 545i, a real road muncher and good fun to drive for such a big car. With a rear change it will look the muts! Wonder if Milltek do a Quad TBE, now that would be good. :evilgrin:
Oh and yes it needs it's ride height sorting.
Enjoy!
:happy2:
-
Cheers lads will report back about fuel and get some decent pictures!
Certainly happy with the price, I might tell you all soon haha!
Oh and it has a quad exhaust, will try get more pictures up!
-
Nice indeed.
-
Gangstaaaaa! :congrats:
-
thats very nice :happy2:
-
Cheers chaps! Well excited, called the owner last night and picking it up after work tomorrow now instead! Will be dark when I get back though, but anyone sees me driving around Dudley area at around 6.30-7 then give me a flash (of your lights!!).
Bad news - he went to put standard wheels on but one is cracked so instead of sending me off with a cracked wheel he is leaving these on. I will stick them on swapz now or something and see what I can get for them! Not too much off an issue I guess!
-
Looks great, very Gangsta as Nath says. :happy2:
Is that a wrap or a respray, didn't think they did white 5 series in 2004
-
It's had a full 3 stage respray, it's pearl white to match the later F10 (I think) pearl white BMW's has a receipts for £2400 for the spray!
Very gangsta indeed, hopefully not too drug dealer style for Blackpool haha!
-
Very nice! I wonder if my VMR's would fit on this... they'd suit it really well
-
Do VMR do a staggered wheel?

I know it;s not a 5 series but still :surprised:
-
Yeah they do, mine aren't though :sad1:
-
here you go Betty, VMR 710's in 19" - 8.5 front 9.5 rear for £900 :happy2:

-

In the correct fitment in that colour with tyres (6mm\7mm tread) in perfect condition :wink:

:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
Guys stop making me drool! Funds will be strapped for the next few weeks so going to chuck the wheels on swapz or on eBay and just see what they fetch, sure I can get hold of some cheap standards for now! Really like the VMR wheels I really do but tempted by the OEm Spider 172 Alloy?
What year was the S3 he offered it for matey? Did you go view it? What do you mean by fly ride - quick?
Thanks
Simon

Typical, these wheels are always cracking! :surprised:
-
Was a 2007 dude he wanted a deal with that and cash but wasnt interested as just wanted a straight sale, when i say fly i mean looks realy gangsta, sweet, dog b****x :)
-
Cheers chaps, got it Friday night, really happy wit it, cheaper to insure then the golf and seams to get a little better MPG too! Few quick snaps at work today, still needs a clean and a decent shoot!

Do the students at Highfield Humanities College get high?
-
Get rid of the black fuel cover.
Also, I like the look of the small lip spoiler you get on the 3 series above the boot. Get one of those on.
Otherwise, I really like it. Well done! :happy2:
-
Wonder if Milltek do a Quad TBE, now that would be good.
How much would the turbo conversion cost, though?
-
Filler cap is booked in next Friday and small CSL style lip spoiler ordered, will be black?
