When you move house you start to discover things you haven't seen for years; including old pics.
When I was in the classic car business I must have owned and driven just about everything.
But this car always left me trembling every time I drove it; and I only sold it because I seriously would have lost my licence had I kept it.
It was totally standard, (if you can call that model standard!) apart from a few wee tricks I had done to the head and injectors, but it was utterly fabulous to drive, mainly because you had to have all your wits about you constantly.
Happy days.

I am sure I saw it last year at a BMW meet, will have to trawl through my photos, but is still shown as taxed and mot'd, wish I did have it!

I want to get this right Andy, because there were many subtle variants of these.
This one is an M535i Motorsport which had lowered and uprated Bilstein suspension, TRX wheels, LSD, ABS, dog leg 'box, half leather sports interior and front and rear spoilers.
When I had it all of that was original factory spec.
