My new shed/barge/touring/rust bucket/Le Mans wagon. Another BMW on CS.

[Budgie]

Well, after looking about on ebay for old Bavarian sheds, and having bid on a few on ebay, whilst drunk I won the bid on this little fucker. I say little, it's twice the size of my 106d!

It's on coilovers which were almost new, and it's barely run in at 174k. That means now I've got two cars with a combined mileage of 338k. Have that Dave!

I think all will agree- it's a shed but pretty cool. Bargain of the century, too!

Pics (all taken on my dodgy camera phone):

One rusty wagon towing another:

Guesses on what I paid for it?

Plans- 325 manifold, set of roof bars to put the fridge on for Le Mans, decent clean inside and out- (Hai, Ollie), f**k about in it. xx

 

[lewisredfern001]

i love the 'whilst drunk I won the bid'. £433 is my bet

 

[couzens]

Awsome! any external graphical plans for Lemans?

 

[Budgie]

There's been a few ideas going around my head, yeah. No doubt the fellas will have a few to chip in, too!

I've already got the paint pens in my drawer at work! (;

 

[Nick172Cup]

Immense.... That is all. Was amazed at how well it ran when we looked at it, a little bit of tlc and it'll do another 100k!

 

[Nick172Cup]

p.s - I need to swap some bits from mine to your soon!

 

[roland rat]

£276.53 is my guess

 

[Budgie]

PMSL. What do you need? Fogs and kidney grilles?

Definitely need to give them both a clean and get some decent pics.

///M touring when the engine goes bang? Has to be done!

 

[Jay.S]

£377.56p is my guess.

 

[DanielJames]

Looks great, epic shed!

I'll guess £500. anything under £600 is a bargain

 

[Budgie]

Not far off! £455. Considering it's got almost new coilovers and MOT until July, pretty good I say!Worth mentioning it's a 328 too! Not sure if you can see on the pics!

 

[VeinAST]

Epic buy! Little rough around the edges but for less than £500 no need to complain at all!

 

[Englebert]

Yeah, can't moan at that price, even if it is painted in what looks like period blood.

 

[Ollie82.]

Its so hanging its laughable but strangely it makes it quite endearing. Im actually wondering whether a clean will make it look any less rough.....

 

[TimR26]

Looks alright that.

Where abouts is that location in your first few pics?

 

[Nickson]

She's a beast!

Le-mans wagon you say?

See you there Mike

 

[Scrooge]

Bargain! Rob's bm has made me appreciate them a little more.

 

[Gally]

The fact it's a shed makes it twice as awesome mate! Can you park it beside Ron's Mp4?

Looks like the s**t version if the Green one Daniel wanted to buy!

Bargain shed!

 

[Ridahz]

Serious bargain that is, best thing is, they rarely go wrong! Only wear and tear bits like bushes fail.

Drive it into the ground then break it at the end! Thats if she ever breaks!

More and more BMW owners on here now than clio owners it seems lol

 

[Budgie]

Tim- location was Chobham Common- up near Surrey Rolling Road. Just popped in on the way back from a mates.LOL- it does get some funny looks at work. Most people roll in a 61 plate Merc because they're stupidly cheap on the scheme. Not me, 18 year old fucked up family wagon, thanks!It's an Alusil lump I'm told by Dave, so no worries about the Nikasil going bang. It's just going to be wear and tears rthat need upgrading- it feels surprisingly tight for the miles though!Got lost on a night out yesterday and couldn't get into my mates house when I finally got back. Ended up kipping in the bus- SO comfy! I don't think I've had a night's sleep like that ever!

 

[James28]

Not being funny, but who would've decided to put coilovers on that?

 

[Ridahz]

Not being funny, but who would've decided to put coilovers on that?

Theres a purple 328i the same as Budgie's in my area sitting on the floor basically and looks immense!

Just because its a bus doesnt mean it doesnt have potential! :approve:

 

[Budgie]

Not being funny, but who would've decided to put coilovers on that?

Someone with a sensible financial head. You can get a set of budget coilovers for an E36 from £120 upwards. FK's are only £200! I'm not sure how much a new set of shocks and springs are from BMW, but I'd bet it's a damn sight more!Also, just because it's a barge doesn't mean it should be sloppy. It actually has a pretty good turn in and a great feel when pushing around the bends!

 

[Daz.]

I actually love that!

*Checks Autotrader*.....

 

[Ian_182]

I wouldnt have paid any more than £4 for it.

 

[Sir_Dave]

<3 the shed.

Same colour as Nicks M3 iirc

 

[Rob]

Awesome Mike. The amount of BMW threads popping up on here lately is unreal.

LOL@Sleeping in it though, awesome.

P.s - are you not actually tempted by the merc through work?

 

[Nick172Cup]

Erm.... Excuse me? Coming from the owner of an ex Cadbury company car!

Mines rust coloured and as Englebert put it Mikes is period blood coloured! Lol

 

[Rob]

Can we all have a bimmer meet? Post pictures in Clio media... just to stir things up.

 

[Budgie]

If mine makes it there, I'm in!

Who would be on it:

Rob
Me
Dave
Nick
Vish
Chris still got the M6?

Awesome range of Bavaria's finest.

PMSL at period paint. Paired with dodgy dirty beige leather seats, it is a grandadtastic colour scheme.

 

[Matt W]

Awesome. Love the tourings. The 2.8 is a very nice engine

Sorry but me and Dave dont deal with lesser non ///M cars im afraid...

Jokes!

I'd be up for a Cliosport BMW picture meet none the less! lol

 

[Budgie]

Well, once yours is backwards in a hedge and we use mine to tow yours out, shotgun engine, box, diff and wheels. Xx

Lol cnut! Xx

 

[Djw John]

Always liked the tourings, never known why! Can't argue with it for the cash

FLOL!
I must say, after we cleaned and fitted the new wheels to Dave's M3 on Saturday, it looked fapping gorgeous. It now means that if I was to become all wooly and say 'baaa' then i'd only want an E46 M3. Everything else is just old and poor....

 

[.Adam.]

Baus car.

Love a good shed.

How many cylinders you got, Jenson? (;

 

[Ollie82.]

Combined? 8! Hows the MPG whilst its sat on the driveway boyo? Drinking habit like Oliver Reed but not enough sheckles to actually feed it IIRC?

Nevermind....the Goat to the rescue.

 

[Budgie]

PMSL! Only eight?!I don't know how I'd survive without ten, tbh. (;Don't know what you're on about my man! It's my daily at the minute because the Goat is horrific in the cold. Currently averaging 23mpg. Driving short journeys like a coont FTW.Like I said, I've learnt that you can't go out drinking without a tourer. It really is the most comfy nights sleep I've had in ages, and I've got a kingsize bed lol!
