Shame its happened. As some have indicated it may fuel the reliability rumour mill, but would be good to get it back running as alot of coin invested and lets face it a clio with circa 250bhp is bound to be a good hoot.
:D
the new fountain pen gear stick is superb as well. Even better if you have the BMW performance pack with the paddle shifts on the steering wheel.
I remember the arsing around with the 530d M Sport to get the bluetooth setting amended, bit of a pain.
The service indicator is not bad and bmw...
Your right, the 535d M Sport has had 3 generations if you like in E60 guise...
54reggers - 272bhp
06 reggers (approx) - 277bhp, revised push button ignition, amendments to gearbox
57 reggers (approx) - 286bhp, revised auto box, revised map, facelift LEDs, new front brow and interior changes...
That 'stop start' is the efficient dynamics 'ed' that BMW brought out and thats not what Im referring to, looking at the OP pics, youll see the lack of circular 'start stop ignition' disc in the dash to the right of the steering wheel, that is the revision im talking about. It meant that there...
tasty, shame its not got the revised start/stop ignition, think it was late 55reggers that came in on. 277bhp cant be argued with though. Not overly keen on the grey leather either, but still a quality machine.
Try e-maps for the remap, cheaper than DMS and the guy simon travels also.
Oh and...
ideal get signed up chief. Looking for a few more driving meats before the end of the season (Oct) then onto the social activites:-
Drinking
Laughing at adams face/ hair
Drinking
Laughing at Dolans hats...
etc..
of course, few eagle eyed cherries have commented on the paint issue and also its missing the splitter, so who knows the MOT could be rotten, the car may be cat c/d, might be a right pup.
Its 350miles or so from me, so it would be a flight down job, be better if it was 'local' for a gander...
pcode is london central as its 3 miles from SW20 9NE (London City Airport)

Interestingly if it has 12months ticket then apart from some advisories it should be 'ok'. Lack of history isnt...
yeh but that wasnt my gripe with the meat, I thought it was postponed, as you had wrote void in the meeting thread.
Therefore that makes you a grade 1 penis feeler.
Top money that and even with the cleanliness I dont think its overly justifiable given its 14 years old.
Nice nonetheless, but price wayward. Also interior is a bit of a farce with the grey mid 90s charm.
Sure it iconic, but not for me
