Welcome to drive the debate

GREAT PERFORMANCE, AWESOME HANDLING, EASY DIY REPAIR THANKS TO CUNNING GERMAN ENGINEERING!

WATCH OUT FOR WISHBONE BUSHES GOING OR GONE FRONT AND REAR CAN WEAR QUICKLY BUT EASILY REPLACED FOR LITTLE CASH, LISTEN FOR ENGINE RATTLES OR PINKING- EARLY SIGNS OF DUEL VANOS PROBLEMS WHICH CAN BE VERY PRICEY (£2,000-3,000 EEEK!)

SO LONG AS YOU BUY A DECENT WELL LOOKED AFTER BEEMER (AND KEEP IT THAT WAY) YOU WILL SEE GOOD RETURNS ON YOUR MONEY WHEN OR IF YOU SELL IT. MAINTAIN IT YEARLY, USE GOOD LUBRIBCANTS AND OE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND YOU WONT GO WRONG! ALTHOUGH I REPLACED THE REAR TRAILING ARM BUSHES (COMMON PROBLEM/ EASY REPAIR) WITH POLYURETHANE RUBBER BUSHES (HARDER MORE DURABLE THAN STANDARD RUBBER ONES) LOOK AFTER IT AND YOU WILL ENJOY IT WELL PAST THE 200,000 MILES BARRIER.
