Been looking for "another " E24 BMW after the one I won on E bay several months ago turned out to initially have been written off twice ,1990 and 2007 , and was still Cat C listed. I then discovered that in fact the reg. no. didn't belong to a blue 628 but a silver 635......
Long story short it was a very unpleasent event that put me off the search for some time .
Anyway started again back in October but was getting very dispirited until this one popped up , an '81 635 with a reported intersting history but I'll wait till DVLA confirm it .
Flew up to NI yesterday , viewed it, test drove it, bought it for a very satisfying sum , tore up my return flight ticket and drove it 325 miles back home . Seller was an incredibly interesting and charismatic guy and I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with him. He had an amazing collection of cars and motor racing memorabilia.
Turbine smooth ,almost imperceptable auto changes kept it at 60mph/2.5Krpm and it has returned an acceptable mpg. 70K warranted miles been in storage since 2004 . Needs rear arches partially replaced and a general spruce up & valet and all Hpi checks show all OK .
Very happy I am.......
Oh and many, many thanks to the members on here who were prepared to go out of their way to help me on the search for a car , you know who you are ......
