My latest german barge

A lovely 528SE with all the toys!



Full leather interior...yum!



I really really like this car, I've had bangers for the last few years and spent money on bikes, I've just swapped my bike for this, I found myself well into prison territory on it all too often, so its gone until I buy another next year.



It averaged a frankly unbelieveable 34mpg on the way home too!

Better pics to follow over the weekend when I get the zymol out!

Happy bunny biggrin

Lovely car you have there. I was so tempted to buy one a few months ago but as I am only young insurance was still too high. Seem like really good value for what you get.

I had a dark red E39 528i SE with Sand leather which I sold years ago, one of the few cars I genuinely regret selling.

Awesome car - I often find myself trawling the internet for another one.

Good purchase thumbup

Hi mate, the zzr was mint but it was also a liability, I found myself going far too quick on it everywhere, the final straw was being flat in 5th, past a police car, it just had to go, will be buying a speed triple next year, I'm a fwb anyway so the bike would have been garaged for winter, I'll be back come spring smile

Yes he was, and yes it is, put the bike up for sale an hour later, bloody stupid really, the induction roar was intoxicating!
