View Full Version : BMW Fanboyism strikes again?
I went down to the auctions tonight to cheer myself up and instead of bidding on a cheap diesel, I stuck my hand up on a E39 535:( Bit of an impulse buy, but it was gorgeous and had service history, full leather, air con, cruise control and looked lovely. Now Im waiting to hear if my provisional bid is accepted. If it is, I will have a bargain V8.:)
Then I have to sell Sarah:'(
Go on, tell me what a bad driver I am and all the other BMW stereotypes:p
Oh and I checked, it does have fully functional indicators and goes something rapid.

It's because they've never been used :)
Actually, I like the 5 series, don't understand what the E39 bit means though.

The E39 is the nice shape BMW...

Nice purchase - V8s rock :cool:
I believe it is a sport too. Which is a bit rare. The price I have put down on it is almost beer money (over a few months) We will have to see what tomorrow brings.
Yes the E39 is the last of the well designed BMW before they got Bangalised.
I also forgot about the auction for a leather interior for my current car Sarah I won.
Will have to think of a new name for this one if I get it. She can play with Barney at meets....
(BTW all my cars are called after women. Nothing at all to do with them being expensive and moody..... er honest;D )

BMW use E numbers to denote a specific model of car for the years it was made. So a 5 series could be brand new or 10 years old. But if you say E39 you know the model it is. Ours is an E39 too.

mejinks, you still driving the e36?
Saw a 2002 on the road yesterday first time in a very long time! Not a Tii though :( Still fantastic :)
E39's are ok, but I personally prefer the previous shape :)

Currently driving Sarah, yes. If my bid is accepted I will have to sell her.:(
Congrats on the purchase :)

Thanks you. As a welcome gift she has cost me £220 for a new rad and coolant hoses:(
Leather is nice though.
DOH! Lets hope it's just that...
news flash! The Radiator and coolant hoses, water pump and obviously coolant needed changing.
£284

I can remember some of the Beemers i've had/bought. Starts off **** it i am having it, then goes to ****ing hell this is great, then on to **** me this is costing a bit to run, onto **** this i'll use the Eco motor & spend the change on Fun stuff.
Whilst on lunch with a lovely young lady, she commented on why not do a wedding hire with me as the driver... Hmmm. That would make me a bit of money. I just need to get a good numberplate and Chauffeurs get up and i'm in business!
How much do they normally charge? I would be getting paid to drive my car and be part of the happiest day of someone's life.

a BMW (even a 1995 316i) is top class in newport tbh! :p

I am a fan of the BMW V8s, they make nice noises.
chop chop with the piccys theres a good chap :D
If you are going to do Wedding hire you will need to inform your insurance company what you are using your car for and there may even be a requirement to register with the council as you could be considered a form of taxi?
lol, I will as soon as I can spend more than 20 minutes with the car myself. It will have to wait til next week now.

Why would you want to do that?:)
I live about 6 miles outside the centre in between Newport and Cardiff.

Howells? What is that? Solicitors? The only Howells I know is the department store in cardiff:huh:
I must have a reputation now, the auctions rang me and asked if I was interested in an E-Reg 635 CSi the other night. I admit I did go down and have a look, but at £1500 reserve, its a bit too rich, but omg, what a car.
Wheres the pics? *stamps feet* i want pics :p
