What oil do they take chap?

[Glassman]

Personally, I wouldn't have got past the mileage. But then it is a '92 model I suppose. Have always liked the older Beemers.

I've often toyed with the idea of one of these and they are a brilliant machine. I recently bought an elise but not before I had a major commitment wobbly because of this car. Don't regret my decision but this car remains firmly on my must own list.

By the way congrats and many happy miles let us know how you get on. First impressions etc...

I used any decent 10/40 semi synthetic but check what's been in it before....if it's had a fully synth carry on with that, just don't mix em

I was in half a mind to start a bidding war!! And I had the cash in my pocket!!!

But it looks to be a nice one, and looks half the miles.........and I've told Charlie I'll buy it off him when hes bored with it

First thing to do is get rid of the induction kit - it doesn't add anything and just risks oiling up your MAF wire.

340bhp, but its rare for them to do that these days.

Quite frankly, i would be happy with over 300 considering the mileage
