Perfect addition to the e21.

A lot to be said to having something big, comfy and automatic to smoke around for the winter.

Thats what I thought, it starts and drives great, no smoke, no overheating, cruises at 70 no problem on motorway.
auto is nice for a change.

Indeed, I decided to buy a shitter this year too, I have spent £360 pounds on it so far (including buying it). MOT is due next week, there is a blowing exhaust and one side doesn't work when you pull the handbrake, and I think there is a worn out bush at the front, but aside from that - the car works brilliant.

It must be contageous?!

Decided to put my 02 away for the winter and get something with comfy seats, a good heater and an auto box. I am going to resist the urge to lower it 3'' and fit dished 16 x 8's, by fitting a tow bar instead. Witter have one left on their shelves and it's mine for the princely sum of £24!! A years insurance cost about the same as a London to Leeds train ticket to collect it. The 220 mile trip home was the longest it's done in 10 years but it never missed a beat. Suspension feels nice and firm for a battle cruiser too! Only jobs needing to be done are new clocks and the viscous coupling is on the way out. I just ordered the coupling but may have to look further afield for new binnacle. Once the tow bar is on she can drag the M3 around.
