how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? BMW 3/5 series are serious options for Omega replacements

Well he told me this morning the MOT ran out in May, goes round there tonight 5 mins past 7 no answer at the door no answer on the phone finally got through to him just 2 mins ago, he said "o just looked and the MOT ran out i'll take it down first thing in the morning" now it's got a cracked screen so it's gonna fail anyway. I smell a rat here, i'll offer him less with no MOT anyway. Probably because I was late but 5 minutes. Something funny is going on.

Sounds all a bit dodgy LSG and no matter how good the car seemed once I personally would walk away now. There are plenty more BMW's out there! :D ;)

Obviously you know what you are doing mate but I have never gone through with a sale that I was not 100% confident about......too much money involved to mess about with tossers......
If thats what he is of course
Best of luck with it mate

V05?is it hairy? ;D

V05?is it hairy? ;D
Yes, I know!! ::) ::) ::)
I meant V5, but I had been washing my hair so what do you expect!! ::) ::) ::) :D ;)
-
I thought that HPI didn't guarantee their information unless you enter the V5 serial number in when you check a car?

I have got some friends who work as BMW mechanics..Their rule is : dont buy any BMW without having it checked in test equipment and some BMW expert drive it.. :-/
-
sounds like a ringer to me >:(
-

Thats partly due to in an effort to make their cars seem more reliable than they actually are, no warning lights ever come on when faults are detected. The BMW engine as fitted to the Omega suffers in this way

No the man sized loo roll was down to me ;D And yes the new MOT did come with it and a new screen passed fine too actually on the
30-5-08 it had £796.20 spent on it with new pads discs all round, brake shoes, new brake shoes and new front fog lights but the cost of the fog lights...£248.12 :o Lovely car though well chuffed and everything is here too.

Remember to factor in BMW servicing costs, and the cost of the car, diesel costs more...
My Omega only does 25 mpg on my run, but, if i got a 50mpg car, it would take me a LONG time to get just £1,000 back, talking years.
Thats why i shall be getting a V8 next ;D

I can't work out the PDC, it says it's automatically engaged when reverse is but it says back up to 2 feet now my son said keep going but it didn't go off. I'll have to try in the morning, the Mrs. is pestering me now saying can I have it. She's taking it to work on friday just to annoy someone with a 51reg beemer snob she is ;D
-

-

:y
-
I can only see 3 things it needs, a new drivers side mirror glass, grills around fog lights and a bloody good hoover inside.
Maybe 2 front tyres very chaffed clearly been curbed. Brand new on the rear 255/35/18 :o glad I didn't have to shell out for them 225/35/18's on the front but should be ok fingers x'ed.
-
Does anyone know what size the BMW badge in the centre of the alloys are? Cheers mine are grubby.
Measured em :D

I need a wishbone looking at MOT advisories says nearside front suspesion arm has play in ball joint. Nearside front suspension arm has slight play in a pin/bush, offside front suspension arm has slight play in pin/bush. I want to get it done but the guy at euro parts said
£52 + VAT if it doesn't have sports suspension £140 + VAT if it does have sports suspension :o And I take it being the M Sport it'll have sports suspension. :'(

Ah, the joys of BMW ownership ::)

Where was it MOT'd LSG? :-? :-?

TCT's, mind you some of the things I've put in there before knowing that it would fail and it passed.
Got new number plates for the car today GB ones looks much cleaner not bad at 8 quid each. But 140 quid for a wishbone because it's got sports suspension :'(

Don't know anything about TCT's, good or bad.
I have used Tyreweb over on Orbital Park for years and found them very honest, reliable and usually competitively priced. They specialise in high performance suspension components, alloy wheels, etc., so they could be worth a try for the wishbone quote for the M5 BMW. ;)

Bu**er ;D Just been thinking actually a bloke opposite me his son works @ BMW and he said he could get me a discount as the Mrs. got his some cheap Taps :D
-
Having a look and talking to that bloke it was actually bushes at the back of the wishbone which were in a circle thingy ma jig were all perished so I changed that and there seems to be no play now, also cleaned the wishbone up looks brand new too :) Luckily they were 35 quid each so £35 is much better than £140+vat.

Good news then LSG!! :y :y
